    Japanesse parts wont fit US cars without quite a lot of modding
    You might want to go to a body shop
    On the lights the same thing
    You drive right hand side Japanesse Left hand side
    so your lights may need to be set up correctly also
    again body shop

    i recall taht the jdm grille clips onto the headlights. or @ least some of them do. so you might wanna look into that.

    also you're gonna need to do alot of custom fabrication.

    let me say that the jdm headlights are not only longer than the us spec but in many places taller. so yea you're gonna have to squeeze them in. notch out part of the radiator, drill and tap new holes for the mounting bolts and o yea the wiring harness.

    don't rush things, this is gonna take a while...patience is everything. without it, you might as well throw the headlights away

    good memory... i never fixed the bumper cuz i am still trying to get the JDM bodykit bumper (i have the rest of the kit sitting in my guest bedroom). it looks like blood cuz there was a red primer sprayed on when i got the lower bumper bar cut and flushed and repainted.
