You can start your body work by taking the front end off!

I'm all for some custom body work, but why the hell a fuggin high dollar honda? so many choices, and you picked the next to most riced car out there (most riced is prolly civic).

But anyways, more power to the creative mind. Be aware that a 3 rotor turbo motor will cost in excess of $18,000 to $20,000. Have fun choking on that number.

I'm not a fan of the projector lights, I probably would go with an R-Type front end if I was building a frankencar.. But it does look pretty good from what I can see.

what the heck is with all you bashing the bumpers, you wouldnt say that about a kaminari front end, or an aftermarked built for the car, just cause it isnt an aftermarket part just for the car doesnt mean that it doesnt look good.

and soo what if hes changing the stock appearance, i know for myself i wanted to build something that was different, if i wanted a typical drifter or rear wheel drive import i wouldave built up a 240 or something mainstream, and yes im also in the prosess of putting a honda bumper on my rx7, i think it looks allot better than stock and honda happens to have stock bumpers that look good/ have a good width for our first gens, which makes life easy when installing an aftermarket bumper, that looks good but doesnt cost nearly as much as a kaminari dam. I wanted my first gen to look different than other first gens, and to each his own of course, but if your gonna say dont change your stock look then also dont put any other aftermarket parts on, otherwise your being hypocritical

sorry if im stealing the thread of something, just wanted to say to all the people bashing your front end... i think it looks wicked. and yes much better than stock

I never really like the integra front end. Don't really like it on an FB either, but its your choice and its deffinatly unique. As for the 3 rotor turbo, good luck with the expenses in the engine, drivetrain, and rear tires. You'll be lucky to have any traction at all with anything less than a 255 wide street tire on the rear. Anything over 215 requires a widebody. Anything over 275 requires an extreme widebody. So like I said, good luck. You won't be beating any ricers without good meats on the rear end to plant the awsome power of a 3 rotor turbo. And I think that means your going to have to rethink what you do to the body.

as for me, money is not an issue. the issue is though is that i dont have enough time do consistently work on it cuz of college. but it will be done! mark my words.

seems like 1/2 of the people like it, and the other half dont.

NOW, LET ME ASK YOU GUYS WHO DONT LIKE IT. WILL AN FD FRONT END CONVERSION LOOK BETTER? (CWEST FRONT BUMPER W/ EAST BEAR SLEEK HEADLIGHTS??) I HAVE IT SITTING IN THE BACK. ITS SUPPOSE TO BE FOR MY FRIENDS FD THOUGH, BUT ITS COOL IF I USE IT FOR MY PROJECT HE SAID.

LET ME KNOW WHILE THE CAR IS STILL FRESH.
