lol ...
ok ok ok ...
contact member NBPrudy ... he's a parts manager and performance acura somewhere in canada ... he'll be able to work with you ...

otherwise contact passwordjdm ...

however there are differences between the jdm and cdm models ... slight but they are present ...

1. the hoods are different .....
jdm = flat hood
cdm = line in the middle of hood

2. bumpers are different
jdm = flat bumper in front
cdm = line in the middle of bumper to match the hood

3. headlights are different
jdm = cleared corners on headlights
cdm = amber corners on headlights

4. fenders are different
jdm = side markers on fenders
cdm = no side markers

5. foglights are different
jdm = works off a switch like in the fg2 ... FA5 can't use that from what i was told.
cdm = works off a new headlight stalk like in the FA5 (this is what u will have to get)

they'll all fit but it's a matter of preference ...
if i had my way i'd have jdm fenders, cdm hood, bumper and lights ... but no one will sell u jdm fenders by themselves right now ... or any other pieces ...

so to remedy this ... cdm complete front end rather than jdm ... then buy the side markers after ...

IMO the line on the hood and bumper adds an extra touch of elegance to the car ... i always like amber sides on my headlights for added safety reasons (reason i didn't clear them out on my fg2 during my retrofit) ...

hope that helps.

PS: CDM conversion worked out cheaper than password jdm's.
