u can use either hood latch u just have to get a cable from a da or i cut mine and used the jdm end with it. i put loops on both ends and put a bolt thru them and covered it with plastic tubbing. and used the factory clips to hold it up right under the core suport. i would of just put a da cable in but the junk yards around here and suck and dont have s***, and u use the usdm hood hinges. and u can use a usdm bumper suport there is a wright up on it. u have to cut the bumper to fit it. id reather just cut the metal then to cut the bumper. the reason the guy did it cause he was gonna autocross but they wouldnt let him cause the jdm bumper suport is not uo to code for safety since its just a small bar

Gen2 Cable from 1990-1993 because it's a bit longer

can i use my usdm hinges??
Yes

There the same size bulbs as the USDM one if your not running the Factory HIDs

and does anyone know if i can keep my bumper support?? and bottom half of my usdm rad support or will that not work???
You need the JDM bumper support as for the JDM core support I use the full JDM one then tried to use a USDM one.

please any information on any of these subjects or where i can find a write up on a jdm front end that would be awesome thanks soooo much club integra.. now bump it up i need answers!
Remember to weld in the core support in. There are youtube video that shows you step by step.
