Default My DC4 Build :)

Purchased this baby about 4 Months ago for $2700 with a bad clutch. It's a 1996 Integra LS, 193K, Tan Interior and Cypress Green.

Mods
-ITR Rep Spoiler
-ITR Rep Lip - 98+
-KYB GR2 Shocks
-NR-G Coilover Sleevs
-8k HID's

I was going to do a Type-R Replica Build, but I decided not to.
Instead, I'm just going to build it to my liking.
I've basically just been screwing around with it. Now its time to make it stunning.
Make it clean and beautiful, how I like it. I will be quite a slow build.
I only make about $5-600 spending money every two weeks. So updates won't happen often, but enough to follow along.
I'm hoping it will be done in February.

What I Have Done So Far..
-15" Rota C10's
-Stanley Sidemarkers
-New Clutch
-Dopped as low as possible (stock height when I bought it)
-Replace blown KYB w/ Tokico Blue's
-OEM Mudgaurds


My Plans
-Complete Color Change: Going for Midori Green or Thunder Gray
-New wheels: Perferably 16's. My 15's look too small imo. I would really like white BBS RS w/ Polished lip. Throw me some ideas.
-Complete Black Interior: Tan just looks too "Grandma" for me. I'll also be putting in some ITR trim pieces as well.
I have most of the Black Interior. Along with Red Recaro's and Red Carpet. Similar to the CTR.
-JDM Front Conversion, maybe 98+ if the parts are found
-Full Exhaust: Either ITR or Apexi WS2 along with DC Sport or JDM ITR Headers.
-Swap: Hopefully a B18C-R, if not, B18C-GSR. There both great.
-UKDM Tails and Rear Fog


Any suggestions, just lmk. You HT guys and gals have some amazing ideas.
This is my first build and I'm very excited to see the outcome.

Here's how it sits right now..



And here's my inspiration..

by looking at it im assuming you have a full cloth interior, so i imagine you wouldnt have the leather armrest cover in the center console, but you do have a tan steering column cover

Picked up some eGay red floormats for like $15. Just need something to keep the red carpet clean. these will get the job done, and look decent.

Update on Interior: The guy I was supposed to get all my black interior from, backed out. I was supposed to pick it up Friday, and this morning he PM's me saying someone else is getting the car, so I can't have it. sucks..
So I guess I'll just save up for my front, and if some interior comes up, I'll pick it up.
