ok, here is my .02.
The teg bodies are pretty light, the most heavy part on the chasis being the bulky oem hood, which you have already taken care of. So i would not waste more money on anything but minor lip attactments (if you are really concerned about the asthetics, although the teg is a beautiful machine). Spoon, mugen are few of the brands which i think make both front and rear lips.

Also remember that the stock bumpers have been tested by car companies numerous times beofre they came intot eh market. I would think twice before spending all that money on something mundane as a cf rear bump.

hope this helps.

Ah, I see. h:

I thought you were doing this to an otherwise stock body and that you were considering CF over metal for weight savings.

BTW, great choice of paint color.

No I already dealt with the weight and thats not the reason I want to do the conversion. This is stictly a show car and I want to do something drastic that you dont see alot of. How many JDM Integra's do u see around here... How many CF ones do you see... Yeh Mad points, thats what I am aiming for...

On the pics, I'm not liking the white steering wheel..And a custom molded sub box would look alot nicer than that box, since you're in the whole show car thing..

If you are going for a CF JDM front end you will need to sell your USDM CF hood since it will not fit. If you painted your car black I would suggest getting the CF front 1/4 panels but I do not think they look good on anything but a black car. Otherwise a JDM front end with a CF hood, front lip, hatch & wing would look good. As for side skirts the OEM ones would look great along with OEM rear valances for the rear bumper. For a show car I would get them molded into the body. But that may not be what you were looking for so I would think about maybe the Wings West sides and rear.

I wasn't trying to flame. But people have different desires when they modify the appearance of their cars. Some like show cars with expensive paint schemes, tons of audio/visuals, chrome and etc. While others like the clean look of OEM JDM look. He says he wants JDM but he wants an entire JDM front end in Carbon fiber. It's confusing so I was just asking if he's going for clean, or show.
