but it is a tough decision, that $500 could be going to a turbo kit...and the JDM front end screams "look at me"...and I don't have the performance to do that and back it up yet lol

 

Its best to get a desire out of the way 1st.....my thought is that if something is on your mind for long enough you probly need to do something about it. So if you've wanted the kit for a while get it. It's only Money....you can't take it with you when you die.

 

this is true, and my reasoning was, well I've wanted this front end ever since I first started looking at integras, and when else am I going to get the chance to have one for only $500 (thanks insurance!...I'll be paying for it in the long run) instead of the normal $2kish....who knows...

GO for the front end.. your right, when else would you be in a position to have the car in a shop for the work and only have to pay $400-$500 like you said.

Besides.. you should not be racing it on the street anyway so dont worry about having to back it up.. just let em all drool as they pass you..

Another thought.. do the front end and throw some NAAAWWSS (NOS) on it. Just as good.

 

thats a nice accord in those pics.

i saw...i guess, it was an integra with one of those japaneesy front ends on it, and i thought to myself, "self,what an odd looking contraption that is."

of course i suppose thats akin to us Ranger folk who swap on EDGE, or newer version front clips onto older styles. so...whatever floats your teg.

 

what was wrong with that one, it looks exactly the same as the silver coupe...

 

i say jdm front end. I love th elook of the jdm front on tegs. And the whole situation you're in is perfect. God is telling you to get it!

 

he's already running nx..

 

Let me clarify my earlier statement. If there is paintwork on the car, it will lose value, if their is only paintwork where the new front end was put on and there is no frame damage, etc. you probably won't hurt resale to someone that wants the car for the custom things done, as far as trading it in, or selling it to someone looking for a stock integra, resale is killed either way, so do what you like if you're keeping it for a while.

 

yeah, I'm supposed to be keeping it through college (5 more years), and it's already got aroud 105k miles, so I think it'll be going to that garage in the sky when I'm done w/ it...and JJFreshyZC, the nitrous express kit is already on
