I've been told you'll need new headlights and parkers.

Why are so many people doing facelifts now?... This question has been asked so many times... hahahaha...
Regarding those parts from ebay..
1. clear corners: make sure its the 98-01. Problem with these is that they are not OEM and you "MIGHT" have a problem with issues getting them to fit into the bumper...but then they might slip right in. Its a risk you have to decide on.
2. front bumper: These dont look OEM. If they are not.. then they most prob. be fiberglass.. in which case.. if you do accidently hit the front bar. it will crack and the crack will continue to expand and grow if not fixed... Oh and the front bar on ebay does not have a ITR Lip which i assume alot of people who do a facelift wants this for that reason ..
3. Headlights: There are a few things you will have to consider here.. firstly and most importantly.. the shields are the wrong way.. Ive explained these in another thread. The build quality is the second thing and thridly fitting them may be an issue if they are not made to the right size. And make sure these are 98-01 headlights.. if not.. you will be stuck with a set of headlights u cant use..

Dont forget if you do buy these parts.. you have to consider... whether the aftermarket headlight or clear corners fit into the aftermarket bumper. Have they mades these exactly to OEM measurements...
Its entirely up to you.. but yeh.. GOOD LUCK DUDe...

That's the pre-facelift front - like my DC2 only with an Acura badge, and missing a colour coded bar that runs through the front grille.

This is the post-facelift front (with the Type R lip).

Notice that in the 1994 integra, the headlights are more sunken into the front bar. The post facelift has a little "nose" that sticks out between the lights sloping down to the front bumper.
Also, the side indicators follow the new shape of the front grille, rather than being straight up and down on the edges.

EDIT: I was just informed that the JDM DC2s have different front bars to AUDM DC2s, so I'm not sure if the USDM Acura Integra has the same front bar as the AUDM one.
