Now aftermarket companies are developing body kits that will convert the Taiwan version to USDM version ^^;;
I wonder how much changed underneath. Couldn't they just order the USDM front end directly from and bolt it on?

I am not sure how much was changed underneath.....units are totally different, lol. And no, importing will cost too much since Taiwan has ridiculously high tax rate = =
