Default Coversion or oem R?

i have a 2000 integra gsr, has full itr interior and carbon climate control, itr wheel, its turbo with drag 3 kit.
color is dark violet pearl, and curently i have 17 inch motegis on it and a cl headlight conversion, full body kit too. was thinking of going back to round headlights and full R lips all around with bronze rotas, should i keep it the way i have it or go all type-r on the outside?

do you have a pic so we can take a look at what your car looks like rite now?

If its the old "cali type R" conversion as they used to call it with the older CL headlamps, i personally really don't like that look, so i'd say go back to oem with the oem kit like you said.

The CL conversion is the ugliest conversion I can think of, sorry but it doesn't even look good on the CL. Go with the 98-01 conversion, even the 94-97 would be better than what you have.

OEM R lip all around is nice and clean..... but since it'll cost you a bunch to go back might as well go JDM conversion on it with the stock lip. That'll look even better IMO. I went the JDM front end over the 98+ front with R lips. my .02

Jdm conv. looks really nice, but I like the usdm type r look. Cost less and still looks clean.

IMO, JDM ! You won't be disappointed unless you crack the yellow lense in the foglight using the wrong bulb like I did ! A negative to JDM is that you'll start getting unwanted attention from A-Holes who want what they can't save & buy themselves! Nevertheless, I enjoy it and all Integras in general except the ones cooking all that RICE!!! LOL! Good luck!
