An authentic Cali Type R front end, while different in 2008, was a cleaner look. It was a snapshot of what import tuning looked like in the early 2000s but was showing its age around the time JDM became all the rage.

A real JDM front end conversion meant new fenders, hood, front bumper and a modified core support.īy enlarging the headlight area around the original Integra dual roundels, stuffing headlights, often sourced from junkyards, from not-so-popular first gen Acura CLs, and finessing fiberglass to make it look as clean as possible, you could pull off a JDM look at a fraction of the price.Īftermarket body kit manufacturers caught onto this trend and soon incorporated this fresh look on their front bumpers, adding in their own variations. Essentially, the look was a combination of import tuners wanting the looks of a JDM Acura Integra front end conversion without spending thousands of dollars on parts from Japan. Super Street does a great job chronicling (no pun intended for those in the know) the Cali Type R conversion.
