all you should want is that ITR lip. put the rest of you cash where it matters the engine.

why does it matter there?

honestly, you really dont need all that power... it's just foolish to think putting your money into an engine is any better than putting it into the exterior of the car.

they both degrade the integrity of the vehicle, but at least modifying the looks doesnt mess with the drivetrain reliability.

that being said, i wouldnt waste my money on painting anything, i might spend it on the itr wing though, it just compliments the lines better than no wing or the gsr spoiler

I am still trying to understand why people want and pay tons of money for their front end to look like an accord.

Wow man that was a lot of replies . I guess I really just want to upgrade my car and see where I can go with it. I'm currently looking at a Quaife LSD....1 of the 1st things I want to get and then lookin' to make sure my suspension is all in tune and such. And from there I want to work on performance. So I should just browse around the forums some to see what's doable and what should be done with the car eh? And I wasn't trying to get my car to look like an ITR. I should have specified on performance. I want to make my car better, like we all do. So I was curious . Thanks for all of the information though .

theres not a big reason for you to need an LSD... i was thinking about one for a while, and honestly, torquesteer is minimal, and i've never had problems accelerating thru turns

As far as I know having 1 drive tire means undistributed ware and tare on the tires. Having an LSD will help even out the wear.

You won't notice any uneven tire wear unless you happen to exit every turn at full throttle and lose traction. Not worth the money, IMO, on a street driven car.

if you want less tire wear get a camber kit and an alignment. LSD is NOT used because it reduces tire wear.
