Default Are 98+ front end conv. on Tegs worth it?

Ive noticed on honda-tech and in my city, alotta 94-97 integs have the 98+ front end conversion *bumper, lights, corners*.....in my opinion, i think 94-97's look clean too, is there a reason why alotta ppl are doin this? is it cleaner looking? You would probally spend 350+ dollars on getting the bumper, and lights...thats 350 you could throw in the motor, so whats the deal with this?

its purely for asthetics. It appears that the majority like the look of the 98-01 integras. There are a handful of people that like the 94-97 look. Keep what you like dont let others alter your decisions.

personally...i converted mine becuz the lip i wanted would have sat a lil lower on my 94-97....so i just converted it just for the lip...plus 94-97 already has a oem kinda lip on it...it all comes down to opinion...

You can't go wrong with Type R styling. Personally, I think a color matched Comptech ITR lip and solid ambers look just as good as any 98+ front. JDM factory lips also look great with unpainted sideskirts, but I'm not sure how easy they are to come by.

I say 98-01 is way nicer. I just hate the grille with those gay *** lines on the 94-97

I think that the 98+ looks the best out of all the front ends. I'm planning on doing it to my 97 GSR when I get the $$$.

Its easy to forget if you really dont care.

98+ fronts are cleaner looking imo.

Yeah I'll go ahead and put that extra $$$ into making my car faster instead of making my 94 look just like my boyfriend's 2000.

People do the 98+ conversion because they actually want their teg to look decent.
