Default JDM or Turbo?

Well i've had my integra for about 6 months now. I have a couple bolt-ons, but nothing major. I really want a turbo kit, but i also want a JDM conversion. Everytime i see a [pretty rare in MD] JDM ITR, i want a JDM conversion so bad . but at the same time, everytime i hear a turbocharged integra roll by i want a turbo'd integra as well . I dunno if i will get one or the other or if i'll eventually do both, but I was just seeking some guidance on which i should do first. :dunno: Thanks for the advice.

I would never buy a 3G Integra unless I already have a JDM front to put on it the next day. I hate those little bugeyes.

That said, if I already owned one I would put a turbo on it before some pretty headlights.

So, turbo.

I saw the JDM headlight conversion kit for like <$600 on ebay... dunno if those are quality parts or not... claims to be taken off a JDM integra. Anyone know if those are good kits? If you have seen them just search ebay for "integra conversion".

I don't know what youre talking about, the headlights are what make the 3g tegs. To me the JDM front end makes integras look like Accords with integra tailights. Just my opinion.

Personally, I'm getting kinda of sick of the JDM band wagon. Yeah it is cool because we can't get it over here, but I would rather have my car be fast than have it look fast. But hey, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

It's not so much that I don't like them then the fact that I just like harassing the 3G guys about it. I'm just a die-hard G2 fan

I have met plenty of other people that don't like the bugeyes though, they're not rare or anything.

Cheers!
