****Stuck on ideas for my DA.... need some tips and advice****
Alright, I have a 90 DA that I'm sitting here thinking about what to do next and I'm just plain out stuck. My plan was, stock lookin outside for the most part, maybe 1 piece JDM, CF hood, red/red tailights & thats probably about it. Motor, probably staying stock LS good running smooth and quiet with a little something behind it, got a CAI & Cat-back, was thinking lighten flywheel & good clutch. Interior I want left along period, all the broken stuff was replaced... its all black and stock just the way I like it.
So basciall with interior to my liking, I'm stuck on exterior and motor. What the heck should I do next??? I was thinking grill in the front bumper (92-93 which i have) and cut that ugly plastic grill out, shaving the side moldings and rounding off the front and rear bumper "trim" to make it look like there isn't suppose to be any trim period. Now motor I got done what I said and planning on the rest, what are some other good things to add some more HP without getting deep into it (internal work bascially) I'd appreciate any advice and tips

No grill please
Also I prefer the painted molding look on our cars than the shaved.

I was thinking leave the moldings too to avoid shaving and i see a lot of just paint matching it.... I need to do something with the front though besides a lip once I get one, looks plain to me, need a little something
I would say go with the newer tails, imo they look better. I would leave the front alone since you have the newer bumper. A lip on the front should make it look complete.
To whatever you decide, just throwing out ideas.

Yea I love my DA, i'm just completely stumped on what to do next, lol. I know i need a new clutch because my slips a bit. So when I do the clutch I wanted to the lighten flywheel also. Next I was gonna finish up the outside, get it all primed and ready for paint in May/June, red/red tailights, put my side markers in, jdm headlights, lip, low it, and gsr rims and I was thinkin I would be done, and than from there start my motor stuff.
Oh yea, I meant to ask too, what do you guys think, tint my back 3 windows, or leave it all clear. I been noticed the style anymore seems to be clear windows, at least clear window tegs.

jdm thin moldings look good. sidemarkers are cool too. wingless is nice. but i'm going to have to say no aftermarket lips on the 92-93 bumper, and if you like lips, get a 90-91 bumper and the OEM optional lip
as for the tails, if you go 92-93 bumper go w/ the amber tails, if you go 90-91 bumper go w/ the red and whites and leave them that way. i also like the DA lowered so i'd get a nice set of coil-overs.
as for the internals for the motor: give crower a call or visit their website. they have the best cams for non-vtecs. i'd recommend the 404's.
this is all stuff IMO so dont flame me for it

what mods would I need for those cams? Yea I might go wingless, I been lookin at mine and I like it but thinking of getting rid of it. I think those moldings to but can't find em for a good price, Ebay wants $130 plus shipping or is that a good price, lol.
its a pain to get rid of a wing, its alot easier to keep it. as for the moldings, call up password. for the cams go to crower.com and check it out. they tell you what spring + retainer kit you'll need.
well the wing is no biggie, there's a u-pull it yard near me and they got in an LS with no wing.... on my glass my rear defosters don't work anyway because somone had home tint on it and scratched up all the heat lines and it don't work very well if at all... i'll go look up those sites now
