Has anyone ever done this? One thing that I love about this car is that you don't really see them that often especially not suped up at all. I like the fact that if i were mod my car i would never see one like it., unlike every civic or integra or eclipse that you see on the road. i know that they didn't make the curren a hatch but i think it would look sweet. any info from experience? i did a search and it didn't really pull up too much. maybe i am just too impatient.
thanks --------------------  Call me a traitor! See if I care. ;) |

I think he meant to do a search on Player158 to find his posts... But anyways, yes, last thing i heard was he was in the process of doing the conversion.

first off you'd have to find someone who'll import a front cut Curren for you. its pretty much a special order thing but you can find someone to do so. then its just as basic as a JDM ITR front end conversion on a US integra. Hood and fenders should line rite up, the front radiator frame has to be switched (i would assume) so that the headlights/bumper fit correctly. After that your pretty much done. It can be done by yourself if yuo have good welding experience, but i'd find a good body shop to do it so that everything lines up PERFECTLY. No pont spending the 1500-2000 for the front end if its going to come out like $hit.
btw my friend may be bringing an extra cut from Japan. but i wount know until a few weeks, maybe a month from now. if you want you can check with me by then and i could forward the info to you |
