Looks good.

Question:
About to pick up a DC2 (95gsr)
and Was wondering if the JDM front has Glass Housings

On the 2nd gen integra, USDM has glass, JDM has plastic.

I was wondering if it was the same for the DC2's

Was it difficult using the heat gun method? I'd rather not use my over either.

the heat gun method is pretty easy if there is a friend there to help.

wat we did was start on one of the ends keeping the heat focused on it. when we were able to seperate it one person would keep lights pressure to pry it apart while the other person would take the heat gun to the rest of the seam.

once you take your time everything should come apart pretty easy
