Default Accord or Teg?

Someone please help me make a decision here. Right now I own a totally stock 4dr 1993 Honda Accord SE (special edition), Automatic, 74K miles, and I want to totally strip a car and and a whole bunch of stuff to it. Now should I be investing this much money into this Accord or my other option is to start looking for a 1994-1997 Acura Integra and strip the Teg instead of the Accord. The following is what I will be adding to either the Accord or the Teg when I make a decision. Please help.

Interior:
Fiberglass the whole trunk with JL Audio and neon lights, custom airbrush paint job, fiberglass dash, doors, and console, Guages, Recaro or Sparco seats, Viper Alarm system - Keyless entry and remote start, Playstation 2 in glove box, In dash DVD player/Navigation system with touchscreen controlling everything - audio/video, 2 flush tv's on driver and passenger headrests.

Exterior:
Bodykit, Carbon Fiber hood, spoiler, Underbody light kit, 17" wheels, Z3 Fenders, Altezza Lights, Flip Flop trunk, Lambo doors.

Under the hood:
Manual Tranny (if Accord), Intake, Exhaust, Header, Turbo (maybe), Springs, nitrous in wheel well of fiberglass trunk.

Thanks man, but that didn't really help, I'm trying to figure out some pros and cons of why or why not on each car. Sorry.

if you want speed your gonna want a manual. You can make an auto but so fast. Either car would be nice as long as you have a garage to put the car in. I say do the accord.

Don't buy the Accord. It is a brick and it is an automatic. Integras have much more aftermarket support, are faster, and weigh much less. If you want economy, buy an accord or civic but if you want more of a sports car, buy an integra.

And you have a lot to learn, young grasshopper. A header and CAI cannot be used for a turbo setup, why strip it if you are going to add the extra weight of lambo doors, lambo doors and altezzas and underbody lights and z3 fenders and flip flop trunks are all rice. Do a little research about this before you commit because it sounds like you took a setup right out of the fast and furious.

well, if your going to put that much money into a car, it might as well be the teg because seriously, you wont get AS much out of the accord.

remember to include security system on your list...

You're talking about buying a car for, what, about $8,000, and then sinking $15,000 more into it? Is this really a good idea?

My suggestion I would do if it was mine. Some examples:Integra GSR 2dr hatch(no 4 dr) if you want turbo get it,go with a clean JDM look, no body kit played out,trust me,put one tv in dash. You sound like you want to race more than show. If you go with that look you'll love car better. The lambo doors okay,body kit okay some of the other things you said are okay, but bottom line alot of weight & it'll play out.

PLEASE do not ruin a perfectly good integra by ricing the shit out of it. PLZ
if you must do all that stupid shit to a car, do it to the auto accord, so you dont **** up a nice car.
