I have been looking around and have noticed two OEM accessories that don't seem to be too popular. I understand that both are purely aesthetic and most ITR owners are more interested in performance.

1) The oem optional underbody kit
2) The driving light kit

Is there a reason/explanation?

 

There was a time when the oem body kit was popular and sought after (all 98-01 integras) and has died down now with trends changing. I cant speak for the driving light kit.

For the record I have both the oem kit and the fog light.

 

Honestly, I never liked the OEM underbody kit on the ITR. It looked too "tacked on" and took away from the clean body lines of the car.

Now, the driving lights was one of the first things I got. Not too sure why they weren't too popular.

 

I have both, PM me if you want to purchase.

Championship white in color.

 

What is the OEM underbody kit?

What is the driving lights kit?

 

I'm assuming the fog light kit? I've been looking for a genuine Acura fog light kit for 94-97 Integras. I'm not a fan of the OEM-style in terms of wiring and switch quality.

 

Ha! That's funny!

I recalled when Honda lower there dealer net price about a good 30-40% to get rid of them at the warehouses! And still had a hard time moving them!

 

Don't confuse driving lights with fog lights. Without getting technical....Fog lights have a dull white/yellowish tint to them. Driving lights do not. If in doubt look at some of the newer cars. The fog lights do not match the headlights in color. The headlights are typically around 4100-4300k and the fog lights are almost dingy like they need cleaning.

Back on topic though.... the OEM floor mats and trunk mat are seeing a double rainbow.

 

funny, I have a brand new nose mask, used one also. couple car covers, couple sets of mats, trunk mat prob more

 

I remember the good old Radley Acura days where the full kit was $300.

Speaker of OEM Accessories, does anyone have the optional CF shift **** for sale?

 

I always thought fog lights were shorter, wider beam patterns and driving lights were narrower beam patterns regardless of color due to varying laws in different markets regarding light color.

As for some new cars the fog/driving/auxiliary lights use halogen bulbs while the headlights are xenon arc/HID.

And to add to the confusion are LED headlights and auxiliary lights.

Also, is the driving light kit a USDM option?

 

That was technically a GSR/GS/LS Accessory and not an ITR accessory. It wasn't too popular.

 

Yep!

Honda screw up one time when I ordered (1) ITR bra and ended up getting like 6 of them. I called them back to tell them the mix up and they didn't really care for it! lol

 

Funny how this thread was started and now there are oem lip kits and fogs for sale in the May for sale section....

 

Gotta love the price gouging on those lip kits!

 

supply and demand

Well, for one thing, I can testify as someone who used to own the optional lights that they were quite useless. :-) They were mounted too far inboard and were not the highest quality beams you might hope for.

The Integra underbody kit, many of us felt, just made the car look heavy.

offer the seller $180 and he counter offer with $200 free shipping.

 

Well, if you want them for looks, that's up to you.

Just know that it is mostly for looks.

They don't put out much light, and you can tell from the picture that they're not mounted where fog lights ought to be mounted.

If you really want to increase illumination, a carefully chosen, proper low beam HID kit will give you a much bigger improvement.

 

I bought another set from that same seller last week. Made an offer of $200 shipped and they accepted. Thought that was a pretty solid deal, especially considering the last "NIB" set I saw was listed on NWP for like $450 shipped or something ridiculous like that, haha

 

$450 for a fog light kit?!? Price gouging FTL.

 

Yeah man- I never bash on anyone's pricing, but I simply posted that you can still get these from the dealer for $200-$230... and then the forum mod deleted it, haha

 

I love it when folks think they have some uber-rare accessory or part, yet said part is still available and the same price (or cheaper) from the dealer.

I see it all the time with OEM ITR exhausts and mufflers.

Lest we forget though--ITR parts are more than their weight in gold to hatchcraps!

 

What items are officially discontinued? ...... Trunk mat, bra, splash guards
