You're right, we didn't received the nice one piece headlights and front end. The only cosmetic difference from 88/89 to 90/91 was the front bumper, corner lights (no screw holes), different tail lights and different moldings.

Yes, I drilled straight into the bumper for the license plate. However, companies do sell license plate relocater bracket so that you don't have to.

one piece headlight also make some trouble..
they'r made from plastic, so gettin yellow / unclear / dark at night after several times coz by sunburn / heated by the lamp...
and the price also incredible, approx. USD 250 for a pair.. brand new..
urs r more simple and durable i guess.. those r from glass rite?

may i see the pic of license plate relocator??
quite nice to put the plate there... maybe we can apply it here..
one of our friend apply the plate at side too because of his turbo engine..

For us to convert to one piece headlights we have to change the hood, fenders, radiator support and bumper. The whole conversion runs around $750.00USD.

Here is a pic of the bracket that passwordjdm.com sells.

However, this is a huge DIY item here.

The headlight adjusters are EDM. The rear bumper pole is an extremely rare JDM option.

Thanks for all of the compliments!!!

the rear bumper poles (mounted on the rear bumper) weren't for radio, right?

the dent was never fixed. remember, i sold the black sedan and the red one is no longer. i'm currently without an ef sedan :cry:
