Search around. 92-00 is the range you are looking at (92-95 and 96-00).

Please... no body kits.

If you want it to be Honda reliable leave it alone & just drive & enjoy it. Honda's reliability is because of their engineering & R&D. Not the aftermarkets.

I have never had problems with my aftermarket parts, except for when I F-ed something up during the install. Of course, which would be my own fault. Never had an catastrophic failures in result of my F ups though. Just the simple "D'Oh" and going back through everything again to make sure it was all right.

This includes installing multiple different cams, a supercharger, turbo kits on friends cars, and most recently an Prelude engine swap. This is in addition to all the standard bolt ons and suspension work.

Buy quality, name brand parts, which has reputation and you should be good. If you plan on doing more than just exhaust/intake, (like boost, or cams etc). Please invest in a quality tuning system and take it to a tuning shop so you don't blow anything up.
