Why would you want your car to look old?

I've herd of different front end swaps, but never this one.

a direct bolt on?? uh no, there is no way you can just bolt it up, you would need custom fenders.

Dude probably saw a JDM 3rd gen Integra front end and thought it was a DA front end, maybe at first glance or something.

I've seen it the other way around...a JDM DC front on a DA...but not DA on DC. It was actually pretty clean, I was fooled for a minute, but then I was like wow that DC is really boxy, and sure enough it was like a '90. I'll post pics if I can find it, it was at HIN like two years ago.

Your friend probably saw a JDM front end and got confused.

However, I have seen a DC Integra with DA headlights. The guy wanted to rock the JDM DC2 headlights but couldnt afford them, so he thought the DA headlights would be close enough.

It looked stupid, it really did. Plus he had body kit on it and the car was painted orange. So yeah...

There was a guy that flushed in some JDM ITR HID headlights onto his DA Integra, it looked really nice actually. The car was red for those who remember it.
