Default 94 LS everyday driver

I just recently bought a 94 teg with some body damage and i was wondering if anyone had some ideas about making it look better. I'm not really intrested in the performance side of it since the engine has about 166K on it but any thoughts about interior or exterior upgrades would be nice. Currently i'm thinking aobut putting supra taillights in the back. Local import shop said it wouldn't be to difficult to do but i'm open to suggestions

It you really want to make it look clean do OEM type r front lip and side skirts, lower it with a good spring/shock combo, and add rims. Nice looking car right there.

i agree with hollaback6. that would be a nice looking car. i am into the jdm look. anything else looks kind of funny to me. i think putting body kits on cars is risky business. if you do it wrong the car will look whack, but if done right, cars look great. one piece of advice though. don't overdo it. i.e. supra tail lights, but to each his own.

OK, do you want it to look good, OR do you want to put Supra lights in the back?

If you want a good looking 3G Integra, get a JDM front end conversion, about a 1.5" drop, European spec ITR taillights, and a tasteful set of rims. It will be unique and clean.

Dont flame too much, SUPRA taillights conversions can look very good if done right. But its nothing to scoff at, you're looking at like $200 for the taillights alone plus $1000+ of bodywork, that and you have to find a reputable custom body shop. Not exactly the right combination for a daily driver.

I've seen a few cars with them. The back end of the Integra just doesn't look right with those little taillights.

what do you consider to be resonable? you're looking at a least a couple of grand..

another idea that is better on the wallet is a nice USDM ITR lip, and optional OEM kit sides, if you can find them. that will make a nice difference.
