would a bb hatch even fit on an xb hatch? are bbs a couple inches skinnier than xbs?
i wonder if the japanese made the xbs fatter than the bbs to go along with their idea that we're fat and lazy. hehe, thatd be funny

Looks aright...but definitely not worth the money that you would pay for it to get sent over here not guaranteeing its in good condition like squirrel said before

it's a toss up to which one might be cheaper (to order one or to custom bodywork your stock one) as the handle for the NCP30 model (older model) is shaped/sized different from the NCP31 (newer model). the older model is also placed a little lower then the newer model. i can tell you that shipping from japan will be a pain and will be an even bigger dent in your wallet if you lived farther on the east coast side. keeping in mind shipping a whole car from japan can range from $2-5k and bodykits can even run $500+. if you can find an importer that brings in bulk quantities of parts from japan it may be cheaper to piggyback.

Once the price of shipping is figured in, you might as well pay a really good body shop to fill it in and to add a door popper for you.
The bB rear hatch will prolly fit, but the glass will need to be changed and the hacth itself will prolly need to be painted also.
A few peeps here in the Nor*Cal area have the hatches shaved. They look nice and clean also.
The only problem I would have, is where to mount the license plate. I can't mount it in the rear window as its tinted.

i might just have a body shop shave it in, and get a jdm rear bumper. as for the lighting i canjust run wires from the rear side markers witch i will probably shave too i think that will work though. any more thoughts that you guys have will be great thanx!!!
