Help Me Decide!

Okay....I've been going for the JDM thang with my RSX. I have a bodykit imported from Japan, the JDM wing and wheels (from a different gen Integra) and the Honda Integra badging.

Well...I have the option of buying some 19" Axis Hagens and Skunk2 coilovers for a really good price. I have some money coming to me, and I was going to buy the 17" DC5-R rims & JDM black housing headlights with HIDs. I was planning on lowering the car later.

So....do I get the true JDM stuff and stick with the theme? Or....do I get the bling-bling Baby Dubs and coilovers and slam that beeotch on some (non-JDM) 19"s?!?

HELP A GIRLIE OUT!!

i say, for sure do the headlights, those are fuckin sweet.. and they do the type r wheels or maybe some spoon or mugen knockoffs. My roomate has some mugen knockoffs on his integra, looks bad ass. Then after you pimp it up a little buy some coilovers and struts....just my 2 cents Bad ass car!!

if it's more show than go yer lookin for, 19's work...if u wanna race the car at some point, 17's r prolly a better bet

either way, the car will look great, but if u go 17's, lower the car sooner rather than later...and considering u already have a bodykit, b careful how much u wanna lower...consider a conservative drop from Comptech or H&R

Save your $$$ for real estate, which appreciates in value, not car parts which DEPRECIATE.

You dont have to go "JDM" per se.... When I think JDM, I think "suttle" and that it's NOT rice. You can get a similar effect without all the JDM shite.

Thanks for all the advice. The reason I like JDM so much is it's still functional.....I started thinking afterwards about how heavy 19"s would be and how expensive the tires would be etc. Plus I have the ability to get parts from Japan so why not take advantage of that.

Ghetto Domestic Market...that's pretty damn funny!

Oh...and I don't go on JSS alot because people seem to flame each other there...no fun for me!

Stock cars in Japan are badass! We always get the watered-down version in the States.

OK my mind is made up. I'm sticking with my original plan. I leave the 19"s to all you Big Ballers out there! LOL

This is how she looks now:

W3RD! I know I know...I get shit for my offroad suspension !! I'm thinking Tein S-tech springs. They have a conservative drop so I won't bash up my front end.

Red Recaros? YUM! Ultimately I'm working on getting the whole car here to the States and switching EVERYTHING over....interior, exterior, ENGINE! but that's a while off now. I'll probably end up getting a few key pieces at a time until the shop can bring over a front clip for me.

Girls who like to fix up cars are just sexy. Hey how about you fix up my car for me and then have dinner afterwards ?

Since you have already made up your mind, my opinion is useless. I don't have any good opinions anyway since I know nothing about aftermarket stuff, but I guess JDM is better looking........
