Re: Who thinks OEM Body Kit is a good idea? (IntegraTypeR98)
It's a great idea, i've been trying to find a set of side skirts, and rear bumper ad on for over a month now. Every dealership I call, say that they are out, and won't be able to get anymore. I also asked them how much would it be if they did had it, they said 1400 painted. So if you could get it for 299, go for it, because they're basically extinct. If you don't want it, I'll buy it.

They have them for sale at $300.00 for all four pieces.
Do a seach! I can't remember the link.

mr. skelly
Adds weight, so no.
I mean a GSR is faster than a Type-R, because in stock form, a GSR does not come with the front lip, while a Type-R does. And the Integra really looks ugly with the kit too. Type-R (with front lip) = super-heavy slow car
GSR (with NO front lip) = light-weight fast car
Go for it. Buy the kit at $299. Like someone already said, if you can still find a complete kit, scoop it up!

Yeah, mud guards 
My mud guards are CW so it isn't too bad...besides they are functional, they protect your car (if your **** like me this is important).
-Tommy who would never pay to get his front lip fixed cause it IS a wear part.

No, I wouldn't get it. It's completely non-functional, and even at $300, it's wasted money.
As far as looks go (Ok, I'm weird), I like the stock ITR with mud guards better than the ITR with side pieces!

oem kit is really nice...its clean, as opposed to those gross looking body kits out there now...its high quality too, nice urethane pieces...i should be getting mine within the next week or so, im really excited...some really opinionated people on this board dont seem to think the oem kit looks nice, but they probably also have been wearing their hair the same since 1981...

I agree, it adds like 500lbs. and slows your car down so much. I mean a GSR is faster than a Type-R, because in stock form, a GSR does not come with the front lip, while a Type-R does. And the Integra really looks ugly with the kit too.

I don't mind the kit, but I personally think it looks better without. Funny no hasn't said anything about JDM ITR not having the side skirt + rear kit. (or, do they? )

Cosworth
People that usually have a JDM Type-R (or conversion) usually have those ugly side skirts from Mugen (or imitation). Those things look like they would cut your leg off if you got to close. Now those things look heavy.

Re: Cosworth (2001 Integra GSR)
i saw its worth it since you can sell the front lip and pretty much make up half of wat you paid for the kit? can't go wrong with that...OOORRR just keep the lip in cause by any chance something happens to you stock one. $299 is a steal
