Hi everyone.
Happy days, I obtained personal import approval for my JDM DC2R.
I'm trying to decide what I should do prior to sending it home. There's a few minor things I was thinking about fixing while I'm still here in Japan and parts are easier to obtain and maybe cheaper?
1. The left headlight is starting to get a bit foggy / yellow and if one starts, the other one will probably follow. I was thinking maybe change both of them to brand newies.
Has anyone tried to buy JDM headlight housings new in Aus? Are they even available through Honda? If so, how much? If they are available for a fair price in Aus I may just leave it as is and do it later down the track. Here in Japan they will cost me roughly $1200 for a new pair of 98 spec HID housings. I could always sell the old ones to recoup some of the cost.
2. Is the red H emblem on the JDM bonnet exactly the same as the one on the bumper of the AUDM Type R?
If not I may buy a spare and take it back in my luggage just in case it gets debaged somewhere along the way. I always see red H nicked off Hondas but if they're exactly the same between AUDM and JDM then I won't worry about it.
Cheers
