Well, there really is no best body kit if you mean style. There are so many different ones, whether you want a subtle look or an all out ricer-mobile. If it was my teg, I would go with a conversion from the Japanese Integra front end. i think it looks better. I'm not sure what they go for, but here's a pic.

go to www.redlineautosalon.com/store and check out the integra section. I own Redline Auto Salon so I know first hand that the kits are top quality.

shamefull advertising here on the forums is not free, and therefore not allowed, contact igor, this concept has been covered many times and the safest way to is keep it in the classified section.

as for body kits dont get the blitz kit like you were saying cause everyone has that kit, every single car i see has that, be original and the last piece of advice i have is get something that you like not what other people say, cause its your car.

I wasn't advertising. I was just saying that if he wanted a quality kit I have them. If I was going to advertise I would've thrown in the styles and pricing available.

A JDM Integra front end conversion is always clean and great looking. If you want my opinion, do that. here is a link to hyder wholesale, I know they sell the JDM integra front end conversions. her's the link to the jdm inegra conversion part.

As for what is best. Thats hard to say. Urethane can take much more abuse than a fiberglass kit and is much harder to crack, but fiberglass tends to be easier to mess with, if you get bad fitment on a kit. Bad fitment on a Fiberglass kit can be worked with, you can mold it, etc, to improve the fit. It tends to much more, how it fits is how it fits with Urethane. I know brand wise, Blitz, Wings West, and VISRacing make quailty kits. SOme of these kits are "played out" however, meaning everyone seams to have one. A JDM (Japanese Domestic Market) Front End Conversion is clean, will fit great (it's OEM Honda of Japan Parts) and will never be played out over here. You can still later fit on a body kit, you'll just need a front bumper or lip for a JDM Integra. If you want my opinion, with an Integra, a JDM front end conversion is the best of the best. It looks clean, it looks great, it fits great, not too many people have it and it still has options for an aftermarket "body kit" bumper or lip. The side skirts and rear bumper remain the same as before, so it's fairly easy to put a body kit on the car later. Truthfully though, with a JDM front end, there's no real need to do that, much beyond maybe a lip kit. You even have the option of getting the JDM OEM HID Integra headlights. If it were my car? I'd get the JDM front end conversion. That's the best of the best in my opinion.

Techincally it is free advertising. I understand you feel your site has good products and quality, but you are promoting your own site for free on here, by posting the link whenever someone asks a question about a site or a good kit, etc. It seems most of your posts are only a link to your site, which comes accross as using AF for free advertising, which is a no no in the user guidlines. You may not see it that way, but a lot of people will.

Well, it may have came across that way and if I came across as a spammer I'm sorry, but links and such what people are asking for in the posts.

I know that in oregon, you have to have 2 RED REFELCTORS on your tailights. This being said, even with the proper color bulbs, it would still be illegal here. I do not know if the law is the same where you are at. The best advice would be to get ahold of the laws for lighting on vehicles (here it's in the drivers manaul) and read it. My gut though suppects it's not, due to the fact there are no red reflectors.

Pretty much if it's not DOT approved it's not legal. Check with the DOT before you do anything. That is if you care.

Thats what I suggested. Get ahold of the laws from the Local Deptartment of Motor Vehicles. Every state has small differences in their laws, so if you feel unsure, it's always a good idea to check it out. It also gives you a hard copy of the laws, in case you need it in the future as proof.

i know if i saw a kid that didnt know much about his integra with a tye r front end i would steal it, a front end conversion is serious, you can get your kid a blitz or buddy club or any kind of a body kit, just type in integra body kit on the net or ebay and just look around,
i personaly cant stand boddy kits but its not my car, if its a 94-97 i would recomend maybe just getting 2000 front/rear oem bumpers and whatnot, but a body kit would be nice for a kid if he likes it
your a great dad building his car, what year is it and rs gs ls gsr??

hammerdgolfer · #14 11-19-2003, 02:14 PM

not sayiing i would steal it but i mean a type r front end conversion needs to get respect, like if he had type r suede seats and kept spilling pop on them its crazy and that stuff is priceless

Frankly, as the person who asked the question, I thank him for giving me some where to go and answered my question...I know about the advertising bit but I am looking for help and as you can see by the thread he is the only one who offered....I will be contacting him for some help as I just got back from a local dealer who ordered one in for me - it was the wrong style, the front end and back end were both cracked, and it looked cheap...thanks again GTR and I am at your websiet and hope you can be honest with me....thanks.
