94-97> 98-01 IMO.
I say:
1) Keep the existing lip spoiler.
2) Find a new 94-97 bumper cover for $200 or so.
3) Spend enough to get it painted by someone who can match the rest of the car without having to blend into the fenders and hood.
4) Swap bumper covers, install foglights.
Minimum investment and it covers all the bases.

98-01 headlights arent the same.

I understand that. It seems like you have an understanding that 94-97 headlights will not work on a 98+ bumper. It may look goofy but you can do it. I was just thinking that if you found a 98+ bumper but had not luck finding 98 headlights. You could use the 97's in the meantime until you found 98's

I prefer the 98-01 style front end with an ITR lip and no fog lights. If your willing to wait until the price is right, just keep an eye on HT market place and CL until you find one. Yellow headlights can be restored easily as well, I wouldn't pay more than $200 for them.
Just FYI, I bought an aftermarket bumper that was higher quality. Fitmet was perfect, but it doesn't say integra by the headlight like OEM.
JDM conversions can be had for ~$1300 now days.

yeah i can buff out headlights all day and such, but nothing beats brand new.
those $1300 conversions dont paint or install themselves though. in the end its still a few grand.
