Why would you want your Dc2 to looks more like a Dc5? If anything, it looks even more like an Accord. JDM fronts on USDM tegs is silly.

Never said I want it to look like a Dc5, just said it looks more like it..

I'm thinking about picking up a 1993 jdm integra and it comes with the the usdm 94-97 front end NOT jdm so I'm debating whether to just stick a usdm 98+ front end or jdm. I'm not crazy about the jdm front bumper tho, so I thought I would see what the Usdm one looked like with Jdm headlights.

There is a pureness to the "Type R" that the majority of owners would not deflower by such a un-oem or jdm conversion even though you are trying to combine the two.

However, i do believe that if it actually looked like the photoshop pic and possessed the qualities and fitment that both front ends individually do from the factory, you would have achieved something that doesn't happen to often.

If you do decide to pursue such and undertaking, you better make sure it is perfect and be prepared for the criticism. I for one think the photoshop pic looks AMAZING, and its ORIGINAL! I've never seen it before, anywhere.

Also, I like the way the "integra" logo looks under the jdm lights.

Looks awful IMO. But, that could be because I'm not a fan of the 98-01 US bumper more than anything else.

i think it looks good. i always wished honda would had made the air inlet bigger on the jdm front like u have shown. however, i dont see how its at all possible considering the existing shape of the usdm bumpers.

i just threw up in my mouth a little bit.



If you were to do a side view the front bumper would be 5 inches or so below the rest of the car's body panels and would look quite silly. And you would prob tear off the bumper if you ran over a squirrel turd.

Ya the second one is probably more proportioned too, it does look like an accord wit longer lights or something, but I'm just throwing something out there. Keep the opinions coming!
