Default Painting my 97' corners...

What paint and how many coats would you guys recommend? Or should I just ****** some 98+ lights, or do they not bolt up?

btw, do u paint the whole lense (inside and out) or just the outside part?

Paint the outside only.

Use stain glass paint if you want. Get it at Michael's.

98+ will bolt right up.

You will love the XTSS. Takes a little bit to get used to but you'll love it!

RESIST the temptation to dump the **** out of it! otherwise you'll glaze the clutch over. It was so hard for me not to just redline + dump. It took everything I had not to. lol. I spent all hours every day driving up and down the busiest stop and go street of my town trying to break it in.

Enjoy!

I'm pretty sure that 98+ corners will not bolt up to a 94-97 integra. Reason I know is because I bought a set of 98+ corners only to find that they don't fit.
