ok guys just got home from working an 8 hr shift and then went straight to working on the JDM front end.
*WARNING**WARNING**WARNING*
i do not advise anyone else to do this conversion. not only has this cause me the BIGGEST headache of all time, its cost me a bundle! i do not wish to disclose the final price cuz it is a ridiculous amount. i now wish i had invested in a K20 swap...btw my mechanic is going to have a ball when he puts that in. i have already told him im just going to drop off the car and the parts and have him deal with it.
hopefully the car will have the paint finished by saturday, the latest is monday (paint shop is closed on sunday) and i PROMISE PROMISE PROMISE!! i will post pics once i get everything completed.
just needed to vent out a little before i go to sleep...but at least now i can sleep peacefully knowing my car is going to be done by next weekend!!!!

honestly dude you don't want to go thru all the labor its a b*tch!!!! just ask AJ racing. They had their front end mounted on since last year and even til this day, they are missing some nickel and dime pieces. but yea, you're gonna spend more than 4gs on parts and shipping plus labor and paint
honestly, start getting the K20 swap in. If i had to do it all again, k20 first then maybe JDM front end

Andrew so are the window covers near the fender going to work from the USDM model? Hopefully so. Looking good so far, I know you must just want it finished after everything it's taken to get to this point.
Starting to look like a "real" Fit. :P Just kidding all of you with the elongated front end, I think the Japanese did this as a reference to the South Park episode titled 'Dickmon', well actually it was Chinpokomon which means just that.
"You are Amerikan, have a very large penis, we just a Japanese very tiny penis."

sorry for the bump.
what is the difference between the fit and the jazz hood?
i have a 2012 edm jazz and i am looking for a hood deflector, i thought all hood are the same and only the headlight and bumper are different.
