ok i know this is a civic site but, i was wondering if anyone could tell me if i got an integra and wanted to do the jdm front end conversion would i have to change core supports to do this? what all is involved in the swap. i doubt it'd direct bolt on. if anyone has any answers or knows any site where i can get this info let me know. thinking of getting an integra and would like to do the front end swap.
jdm integra conversion
- Thread starter unr8ed06

To do the JDM ITR conversion on a USDM integra you can get the conversion anywhere online. But you will need a core support.
I can double check by calling a friend if need be, he just did one on his integra.
do you know about how much it cost to change the core support? i found the complete non hid conversion for $1100 shipped and it included the core support, headlights, and body panels.
i'm entertaining the idea of trading/ selling my civic for an integra. i can buy the integra for about $3k-$3500 or even trade for my civic but, i'd like to sell my civic for alittle more to have some money for the conversion.

You don't want to do the conversion yourself?
who told you the front end of a civic/integra is made out of aluminum???
you can weld to the frame. I'd have to ask by buddy who did his conversion not to long ago about the core support.
Also had a friend just get done welding a rhd to his 93 hatch.

Goodluck, i was gonna do this recently after a front end collision. But its just startin to get played out IMO.
I ended up paying almsot 470 for my core support cause i wanted oem quality(acura ish y0) .. and paid almost 300 to have it installed. After that plus buying headlights, fenders, hood, misc other parts im about 1700 into repairs. Keep in mind the only thing i paid somone to do was install the core support, and i am using USDM parts. SO youve got one hell of a project goin down..

...maybe in texas... it's not as easy everywhere else. the conversion is a long and tedious process that involves alot of welding and fabrication to make everything work and squared away. You will need to change the radiator support, you will need JDM fender "bars" that attach the side fenders to the car, you will need to play with wiring and get it painted. Over-all, it's a nice thing to have but nothing you should buy right away. IMO it's one of those things where it's not needed until you have "everything"... catch my drift?
