whatsup, recently I got into a accident doing a 100mph, yeah i know =P, but anyways All that ended up being damaged was the front end, so i need to replace the whole front end exterior, So I now need a radiator suppport is there any difference in JDM or USDM? And I also want some feedback on if I should do a front end conversion or just stay USDM style thanks
Tom
I think the only differences in g2 front ends between jdm and usdm are.
*jdm. lighter rebar
*jdm. one piece lights
*jdm fenders have an amber sidemarker & flat moulding
*and when I got my jdm hood it was a tad lighter than stock, it also has insulation on the inside(any other g2 owner that has seen this was like"where did you get that from?") not to mention the jdm H emblem.
other than those I think everything else is pretty much the same. so you’re probably better off getting everything from a local scrapyard or something.
let’s just say you won’t live if you get into another accident doing anything over 50 mph…
the reason JDM is lighter is because it doesn’t absorb as much force… consider your teg screwed if you ever get into another accident with a JDM support/rebar
Are you assuming this or is there credibility behind what you just stated?
Ok, the front cover looks like its still good, slight scratches but is still one peice and not bent that part looks straight when you look at it from a distance, but do you think the bumper support or foam is still reusable? I might just buy the new front cover if everything else is in tact. Worth a try to salvage those parts?
search on it.
edit: here’s a sample of JDM/USDM BUMPER support differences (rad support is different, I know)…
holy sh!t those look alot different, thanks for the picture

i believe he’s askinga bout the radiator support which is the core support which the headlights and radiator support is bolted or used to hold up those things, what you posted is the bumper support, so if he did just use the rad support it would probably be the same and he could still use the usdm bumper support and he’d be fine
The rad support is the same, only major differance has been stated already,the bumper bar. You could use the US bar and have no worries, unless you crash at 100 again and not get so lucky.
