Default Civic EK 96-98 or 99-00 Conversion???

Dam yo, my head is playing games with me. I can't decide what i wanna do anymore. I got a 97 EK hatch with a 99-00 front end. I'm about to paint my ride in the middle of May. I got all that CTR **** like recaros and all but I haven't installed it yet cuz i want to put it in all at once. I know when i put all my **** on it'll look too fancy and **** with the Recaros and everything. But now i think i just want a straight clean look like 98 front end with CF hood and SIR lip. Something simple and go straight for my motor again. If I stay with my 99-00 JDM stuff, i start from 0 to save for my engine. If I convert back to 96-98 and sell all my CTR ****, i'll have about 1000 left over to save for my engine. What should I do?

if you end up losing more than 25% of what you payed for the stuff i wouldnt sell it. might as well just start from 0 and save till you have enough for the swap

well naw, i'm trying to get what i got them for and i got the parts for pretty good deals so if i were to resold them they would be decent prices. See, i love my Red Recaros but i dunno, it's to me like hella flashy.

I say go for the swap. i was pretty much in the same situation. but made the right choice in getting the CTR motor * LSD*. Plus the 96-98 front end weighs less. haha but then again those red recaros are bad ***
