Welcome to Gaia! ::

Okay so I just got a 90' Integra a couple of days ago and I'm planning to keep this one for a while. I don't really like the front ends on this generation Integra so I was looking up on google on parts to see if I could make it look a little more attractive and I found some JDM front end threads. Then I started searching up DA9 JDM front end and they look the same as the one I have? Now up until I bought this Integra I didn't know anything about it beside the motor It ran on and so on so can someone please explain to me the difference between the "JDM" and USDM front ends? Pics would help, thanks in advance guys!
I think the differences are the jdm has one piece headlights, jdm sidemarkers and a honda badge on the hood.

The usdm headlights are 2 pieces. WHat happened to your civic?

The bumper had about 1 1/4" of space between the hood and the bumper.
Most people modify it with a dremal tool to save $$$ over here.

Sold, not my problem anymore lol but looks like that person is gonna turn it into a track car. Anyways yeah I'm happy with this Integra I got her for 1000 and everything on her works A/C, P/S, all the buttons, interior and exterior lights so I'm happy with it. Just needs better headlights and a paintjob

See between the headlights where hood meets bumper, JDM has a gap there for added cooling i believe

I hope to god you don't get stuck in the same JDM issue that happens with most Hondas
A lot of the time with Hondas, to change out the front end to a JDM one, you gotta replace the whole radiator support, or heavily mod it, and its a b***h to do on the older ones

I helped a friend do it of a newer integra, a 2000 I believe, and my god, ******** that s**t, couldn't pay me to do it again, managed to cut my thigh through the pants, it made no sense

Yeah for the 94-01 you literally have to replace the whole front end including the radiator support, same with the 99-00 civic front end conversion you need the whole front end and mod the radiator support a bit lol. I found these headlights I like I'll pm them to you tell me what you think

You cut out the part of the USDM bumper to match the JDM bumper. Just draw an outline with charcoal then cut away.

The 1 piece lights are a direct swap.
