Story-

I had a '92 Civic hatchback (with a B18C swap and 96-spec ITR brakes) that was starting to give me some issues and became a standstill project. My friend was selling his Integra that him and his buddy put together a while back. He told me that he'd rather see me with it than some person who wouldn't appreciate it for what it is. After a test drive, I bought it and became attached to it instantly.

Looks good - is this the Aussie DC2 VTiR in LHD guise? Looking at your intro post, the JDM nose on it would look sweet.

Looks good!

That front lip makes a world of difference.

Can't wait to see what's next.

Dope car man. Looks really nice with a pretty good set of mods on it.

Love the NBHNC! Haha!

Pretty much the US equivalent as far as I am aware.

Thanks! And I definitely agree.

Thanks, mate! The front lip definitely sets off the 98-01 non-JDM front with the US Raybrig fogs IMO.

Thanks and haha, good eye! Not a whole lot of people notice it!

Update:

In my introduction thread, I posted a photo of my front end looking like this—



Surprisingly, my replacement headlights had came in this morning. I wasted no time and installed them. Now, I just need to polish the lenses and aim them properly. I plan on getting HIDs soon with an output similar to justinfox's DC2-R.



I also removed the OEM Raybrig foglights, because one was cracked. I may put em back on, or put a set of driving lights I have laying around. Don't know yet.

I must say, I've aways had a sweet spot for the DC2. Great work with the car Julian! Keep the updates coming!

Got bored today, switched my driver's side headlight back to my old one since it was much cleaner than the "new" one. Also took some shots.
