NOT TRYING TO OFFEND ANYONE....i know that everybody has their own opinion but to me this is a "POSER" move., only in america is this a big thing....i never see any IV or V trying to be a VI.....and even a VII with a VIII look., i dont understand why people do this conversion., its like putting a typeR badge on a regular integra......just my 2cents., bottom line is its still your car and your money so you can do WHATEVER you want.

So what would be the difference of putting a JDM front end on a Integra? Is that a "poser" move? I see no difference of us 9 owners putting the JDM rear bumper on if you want to argue about it. People do this kind of stuff because it appeals to them and they want it......simple.

I have a 9 and I had a 8, and I'll be honest and say that a 8's front bumper looks alot better once a bigger FMIC is put behind it. If I still had my 8, the sympbol would be shaved like a 9's and a bigger FMIC would be added. Can't get any better than that IMO.

I didn't put a IX bumper on because I want people to think I have MIVEC. My car still has a UK VIII badge on the trunk. I just plain and simple like the IX bumper and the greddy lip better than the old VIII. You don't like it don't do it. And BTW I've seen older evo's in the UK, evo I with evo III body parts on it. And actually I think there is even a guy on here that did the same conversion I-III and I didn't hear anyone getting on his case tryin to be a "poser"

I could be wrong.

That, and some people might like the look better. *shrug*
