JDM ITR Front is by far the nicest front, i never like the bubbe eye front end, thats why I even preffer DAs over DCs...but USDM ITR is clean, JDM conversion can be very pricey

I love the JDM front. It makes the Integra look real classy. Plus it's got and OEM HID option.

if you had a 94-97 teg id force you to do the si-vtec front lip and foglights since that looks 10x better than 98-01 and the jdm front imo.

ill upload more pics when i get a chance to host all the pics

i think your car looks real good as it is, but maybe if you got H badges for the front and rear, shaved the spoiler, and got some different gold wheels (advan rg2, gramlights, etc.) it would look sick

Well I love both. I just love Integra's in general. Personally I am going for the clean USDM look. But I guess if money wasn't an object I might go crazy and do a JDM front end swap with the JDM HID headlights, but on the other hand I love the look of a real clean USDM teg.

Not to mention I think a built teg with a USDM front is much more sleeper then a built JDM front'd teg.

I kinda hate seeing a JDM front a teg with no work under the hood. I would much rather have a clean USDM with some power under the hood then a JDM front end with a stock setup.

http://img183.imageshack.us/img183/2493/red002df4.png

That is pretty much exactly what I am going for appearance wise, minus the wheels. And I still don't know if I will ever put the stock amber corners back on.

I def. like the JDM front better. I've never been a big fan for the usdm headlights.

But I will also agree id rather a usdm front with a nice motor vs. a stock teg with jdm conversion.

JDM fronts are drop dead sexy!!! But aslo costly.. and if you do it, it has to be done RIGHT.. no shortcuts or bootleg ****... if it comes out sloppy the car will look like ****.. so if you arent ready to go the distance stick with your oem.. really i would say spend you money on your motor.. but thats me..

I prefer the 94-97 front end with the si-r lip, yellow oem fogs, yellow headlight bulbs, and some amber corners. Nice and I would say more rare than the JDM fronts here since the SI-r lips are so hard to find along with very few people using those yellow projector fogs.

This black teg just wins on every level and makes me want to sell my RS and get this thing. Then I realize I live in reading and a honda in reading is basically like shooting yourself in the foot.

I just love tegs all together. I do prefer the '98-'01 USDM front over the '94-'97 but I like JDM fronts also.

I especially love the BYS (Back Yard Special) front bumpers or the Air Walkers.

Here are some more pics of the BYS JDM ITR, I forget his name on Honda-Tech.

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/dt98gsr/itrbys.jpg

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/dt98gsr/itrbys3.jpg

And whats better than one ITR with a BYS special bumper...

http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e65/dt98gsr/Edickjerm.jpg

TWO.

Thats Ekay_jeremy's USDM ITR with a BYS bumper also. His car was featured in Honda-Tuning a little over a year ago without the BYS bumper, and with silver Gab sports wheels on it as opposed to the bronze Volk TE-37's. Hands down one of the cleanest tegs out there.

I like the JDM front end on the white Integras, and the clean usdm end on the other colors. The black lights make a nice contrast to the white paint, otherwise it looks meh.

BoOsTd94GSR

imo i think that they both look amazing....if i had to pick thoe i would go with the Jdm conversion just because its more rare around here and just the principle of saying "i have a Jdm front end conversion" haha....but on both of mine i have 98 usdm front with ITR lip....
