Front Swap Poll! 98 or JDM?

[kitkaton]

Hey all, starting to build my funds up for a front swap on my 94 Integra and I just can't seem to decide between the 98-01 USDM front or the JDM front swap. Choice & Opinions please! Oh and my car is currently Frost White and I plan on keeping it that way, too. BUT repainting the whole thing after the swap.

I say keep the 94 front and go full Si-VTEC.... But if it's definitely between those two, 98 front end.

I just don't like the JDM front ends.

JDM front end is the way to go!

If you go JDM front, you will have to upgrade that spoiler to a type R one

Definitely in the plans as well either way! Been trying to dig around for a Type R spoiler with the brake light on it though since my current one does. BTW when are you getting that RSX?

Hopefully July or August next year man. Tuesday the Teg goes in to get new OEM timing belt, water pump, tensioner, a/c belt and alternator belt.

I personally like the JDM front but there are so many out there now. Biggest thing with the front end is make sure you get good headlights. Crappy headlights will dampen the whole thing. Trust me.

Flip a coil Ild go with the jdm front end but its a headache trying to find parts sometime.

Hideous :lol: jk

However this is my problem with the US front ends, A lot of them don't have clean lines like so...

While the jdm front has clean lines.

Jdm front front is my personal preference, but it's your car, don't let other people decide what you want.

98-01 swap. Jdm fronts are kinda overplayed now. Plus it kinda takes away that unique look that makes the integra an integra. The bug front is unusual yet tasteful, the jdm front more or less makes it look like a sportier accord.

JDM fronts will always look like an accord IMO. And I hate that. Although they can look good, 98+ is the way I'm going in the future.

I get the Accord part, and I agree with it for the most part. But when you really look at it and a DA side by side, you can see similarities mainly in the headlights.

While I like DAs, the reason I don't like JDM fronts is because the USDM/early JDM bugeyes is because they're unique, it sets them apart from other Hondas.

Same reason I prefer the bugeye Impreza over the blobeye and hawkeye.
