Re: question about lip kits and body kits (maniefrizzle)
We don't really know what type of "kit" you prefer, or what types of look you are trying to achieve. Many of us like the look of the OEM kit (side skirts, rear valance if you have the 98+ rear, ITR lip for the 98+ or the ITR lip for the 94-97).
Unfortunately, the OEM kit isn't made anymore and is extremely difficult to find. If found, they are very expensive....upwards of $700 just for a few pieces unpainted. Good luck finding that. Wings West makes a fiberglass facsimile of the skirts, but I'd stay far far away from fiberglass. Others will agree, especially on a lower body piece like that.
Check out the Appearance forum here and take a look at Integra pictures. Look for something you would like and go from there.

Re: question about lip kits and body kits (airikkCRX)
I think the best place to look for a stock set of bumpers would be here in the classifieds section. Many people are doing the JDM conversion, or just swapping bumpers to something else.
Remember, if you have a 94-97 Integra, you can just get 94-97 fronts and rears. The sideskirts will be the same on all 94+.
If you have a 94-97 and you want to switch to a 98+ style look, then you will need the front bumper, turn signals, headlights, and rear bumper. They are all different. If the front bumper doesn't come with it, you will also need the turn signal brackets and "weather stripping" between the hood/bumper and bumper/fenders. The rear bumper is just a straight swap, but it is also different looking. Again, the sideskirts (if you can find them) are the same on all 94+.
If you have a sedan, the rear bumper of a coupe will not fit no matter what year. You will have to get a sedan bumper from a 94-97 or a 98+, whichever you prefer.
