Looks wise the headlights are the same. I think the JDM's have HID's though....

And for the tails, you're going to have to wait until someone makes a replica or something, or just bite the bullet and buy the JDM tails. The tails can't be modded to look like the JDM ones.

i was talking to acura dealership bout a week ago and i told them if these cars came from directly from japan and not from japan to america then to hawaii, but the dealership said that its from japan shoreline and its just goes to america to refuel.<<is this really true? so i was thinkin if they could swap my USDM taillights into JDM taillights, fenders, and headlights. but will it cost me more tho?

Why would you want JDM fenders? They're identical. And you'll save money by getting an aftermarket HID kit or retrofit. Tails, well you'll have to pay for that one...but if you actually manage to get what you've proposed done, you're going to pay a LOT.

Yes it is true, and no, they will not do swap anything out. You bought a USDM Acura RSX through Acura, not a JDM Honda Integra, therefore built with Acura specs. If you were from Canada, then you'd get Canadian specific Acura (heated seats, DRL, PWP w/ebony interior, etc).

JDM fenders come with sidemarkers, btw.
