wow you got a long way to go...do more research...

as for body kits youre better off with fitness if you get 90-93 accord kits, or 90-93 integra kits. 94 accords are a different breed/chasis/generation. as for tail lights and head lights, it's all up to youre imagination. i don't remember seeing a 3g with r32 lights...if youre talkin about mario burke's car or mike's (a20a1) those are custom. as for swap, the only bseries taht swap right in the b20a (man i'm tired of saying that) but other swaps will cost alot of money and time. the parts nessecary are really hard to find. if you want a cool car, get a civic and rice it out.

No Chub's had the R32 Skyline lights fitted to the rear.

Dual exhaust 2.25" single pipe from the catalytic convertor (CAT) split it into Two 1.75" pipes for the duals. You decrase the size of the pipes when going from a single pipe to dual pipes to keep up the exhaust velocity.

As for swaping motors... B16A would have been less of a hastle but the mounts for the motor aren't readily available anymore. If you swap, do the motor first then the exhaust... if not turbo the A20A motor.

As for swapping the gauge cluster with the spedometer / odometer I'm not sure .. Read / Search thru the Engine Swap Forum before you ask more questions about you swap project... more then likely they have been answered before.

new member Ray Fong making b16a motor mounts. i would give it a few months untill he's done with the swap to see how it goes.
