Well this is how its rolling. My wife fell in love with this Type R (all those years talking about car finally something clicked) but I wanted to put some ground effects and vertical door hinges oh it with some white face gauges and a few extras.. Because I'll just order them on line and have them shiped to my paps or something and have him send it to me you know. Thanks bro.

I say dont touch it.........you sound like your going to injure the poor car. No white face guages and unless its the oem optional teg ground effect kit dont get it IMO. It is your car though.......dont listen to me do what makes you happy!

Because you're destroying everything that Honda hoped to accomplish with the ITR.

No you don't.

No, that's what people do to their cars when they have no knowledge of how to improve a vehicle.

Yeah. It's easy to import cars from overseas if you bought a car while you were stationed over there. (military, that is)

Too bad civilians can't do this whenever they wanted to.

Please don't ruin a Type R with a body kit, underglow neons, vertical doors, whiteface gauges, and whatnot. Type R's are made to PERFORM, not to rice out(or "pimp your whip" as you say).

Do you get MTV out there in Japan or somethin? Too much "Pimp My Ride" for this guy.

Well thanks for the info, I agree with some peepz with what they. BTW Yeah I think I'll just make it peform.. But the hardest part is seeing if I tweek it out if I can bring it back to the state. But none the less thanks for the info. JDM sleeper sounds good to me.

yeah I was thinking about that but so much would have to be done.. I'm thinking about turbo and some internal work.. But I'm still not sure. As much as I'd love to tweek it out here may not be ok to ship back to the usa.. But I'll have to do some research..

Take care of it. It's not a sleeper if it has the Type-R sticker. Stolen in a heartbeat.
