    Alex dude, dont bother coz that looks umm :gay:

    Flip ups make the car look unique, the old school fixed style ones dont do anything for the car.

    In Russia Accords with no-pop-ups may be more than with pop-ups... And i want to told, what with pop-up Accord looking better! It's Stylish, Unique and Sexy, no pop-ups, oldie and not cool!

    All of the 3rd Gen Accord 4doors in the UK have the fixed headlamps. The only ones with the pop-up headlamps are the AERODECKS. There are more of the fixed headlamp accords than the ones with pop-ups

    You almost cannot tell the difference if you look just at the front from an civic. The thing is that that style just looks old, the
    pop-ups make the car look MUCH sportier and newer......

    That redshift setup is like $2500; no wonder they havenever sold it.

    Oh, and it looks like a Toyoto Camry / old style Civic. Bleh. Stick with your pop-ups. Maybe change the bumper lights out for that clear/orange look, but beyond that? No.

    Hey everyone remember whose car it is. Not yours so quite telling him to not do it.

    Sheppard79 if you want that fron them get it. Make sure to get a full clip because I am sure that the inner fenders and core support will be different and need to be either changed or modified.

    The inner wings/inner fenders are the same it is a bolt on conversion.
    There used to be a aerodeck local to me that had had the conversion done due to it being damaged and he could only get 4door saloon parts(from the breakers yard) to fix it.

    well thanks for you support guys.
    i am still thinking. it is a lot of money. i figured by the time i get it it would be like $1500-1600 american dollars.
    I just don't find pop-pop lights attractive at all. they are pain in my ass.
    before i got the car, it was hit and the driver side headlight is messed up. i tried everything. I changed headlight housing, and it is still crooked. i don't know what to do. that is why i want JDM conversion.

    Your better saving up and getting the 5th Gen Prelude head lights put in, they look WAAAAY nicer than the JDM ones and they make the car look more unique.

    hehe yeah they are nice man but 2 cars already have em so they are not that unique, and i am guessing it will cost u more cuz they really have to do alot of body work, get the headlights themselves and a custom hood i believe:pimp:

    JDM lights will save you a lot in weight cause of the loss of the motors and a lot of materials that it takes to make pop ups work but I agree that jdm's dont look great on a stock front end maybe with a body kit JDM's would look pretty dope
    I use to drive rice...and I loved it, now I drive Kraut, and I know just how lost I use to be.
