Best place to buy JDM front end from?

Had a lady hit my car in a parking lot last night:cry:.......

Tore up my driver fender, front bumper, and driver headlight. I don't think the hood got messed up at all. It should be a pretty cheap fix if I just replace these parts, but if I can get the money from her insurance that I deserve I am going to want to convert over to JDM(adding my money to make the difference obviously).


Anyone have experience buying a whole front end from these places online? I heard HMotorsOnline was a good place to order from but I just wanted to check on what else is out there... I'd be willing to pay a little bit more if the panels are known to be pretty straight, saving me some time and money in the paint shop.



Thanks for the help guys.

Well, where are you located because it's priced differently in different locations (from what I noticed)
I'd be more careful if i were dealing on craigslist because sometimes the people there are shady (bad experience). I also recommend you buy it as a complete because usually if you source the parts separately The parts MIGHT not end up fitting together perfectly. Though thats just me and my friend's experience. If you're in california I really recommend going to n1 concepts (n1concepts.com) but if you go there then call them for the price instead of ordering it online because they usually charge you less. By the way, when buying the front end remember to go buy a new latch and cable. The ones from a DA should work. This is because the usdm and jdm front ends use different latches and cables, this is often overlooked when purchasing a front end.

I am all the way in GA lol...

I found a oem fender and bumper off a 2000 white teg on car-part.com so I am going to go check them out and see if they are clean. They want $75 for the fender and $200 for the bumper cover so that would be more than reasonable if they're clean.

The headlight lens is fine, just the mounting tabs(bottom ones) are broken. I am going to grab some epoxy and see if I can't get them operational enough to save me from an extra repair.

I actually saw JDM front teg in person about 2 hours after posting this and realized, damn, I am STILL in love with USDM's four awkward little headlights. I am just going to find an OEM front optional lip even if I have to pay a nice chunk of change for it. And that set of Raybrig fogs if they are still in the classifieds when I get meh check.


Thanks for the insight guys, but this teg is going to rock USDM a little longer!
