First thing first, what kinda budget do you have to do the conversion?

hi hikaru bro nice to meet you, thanks for your reply bro. budget wise i dun mind to spend more for good quality things, but of course good quality things can get cheap is better la. are you from jb also ? right now i'm surveying first,so that i can save my money.

quality and cheap are not good friend as always.

I really can't tell you what to do if you don't have a budget in mind.

ok la my budget is around 4k.is it ok.

The cost for paint job is easily 2K or above.

So I assume you are talking about parts only. With that budget, you can get a set of used standard bodyparts front and rear providing you are having 4 doors.

When I said standard, it means chrome headligts and no aero body kits at all. A set of used original body parts for front and rear is selling around rm1800 each so it sums up rm3600.

If you wanna go further up to take ek9 body parts with black housing headlights, grille and front lip, then it's about rm2500~2700 for the front only. If you wanna go further for the rear with rear bumper lip and ek4 Spoiler, put in another rm1500 for that.

So at the end of the day, you are looking at rm2500 for the ek9 front end and rm3000 for the rear with bumper lip and spoiler so it turns out rm5500 for the complete conversion. And you need to throw in another rm2000 atleast for the paintjob so you are eventually looking at rm7500 just for the conversion.

What do you think?

wow,thats a lot man,hahaz but how come painting takes so much,is it full painting the whole car or just the parts itself ? neway thank you so much for the info bro. standard is it vi-rs or normal,what about vi-rs is it more ex ?

you got lots to learn, son.

good luck.

hahaha,yeah father,i have lots to learn. maybe u don't mind sharing your knowledge though.

yup, Hikaru is a very pro for Honda EK, so if got anything else, just ask him.

hi JINEIL2EN,nice to meet u bro, i think i will have to learn a lot from u guys,haha

i'm saving money to convert my EK,i want to convert to jdm part not taiwan because i'm afraid and considering for long term. the reason i do not want to use taiwan part is because if accident happens,if la,touch wood,afraid the the imapact will be more compare to jdm parts.so if u guys can suggest me a amount to convert will be great.

nice to meet u too, harryjini.
since u know the real deal of using genuine parts, i'm glad...

most of ppl regretted after a few week/month after convert with cheapy fake/tw parts... u wanna know why, just asking around la...

U wanna a quality parts but pay less for the money ? YEAH , u have to get a good master for doing this , son.. I'm master for converting the EK local to JDM parts also..But if the budget is too tight, sorry dude no one will listen to you.

for those who plan to convert used 99 spec bodyparts, please hurry before 2011 June. Otherwise u need to buy everything in brand new.
