Default Just got my R back....

from the body shop. This is Wes' old car (White Dragon) - 1998 #142 King MotorsportS Mugen ITR. Anyway on the way home from picking it up (back in November) I hit a deer in the middle of Iowa. Pretty minor damage considering. I was doing about 75 when the thing just ran out in the middle of the interstate.

They replaced the fender, hood, and bumper cover and blended the paint into the door and other fender. So here are some crappy pics. I'm going to take some decent ones tomorrow. The paint does match - it may look a little goofy because of the lighting in my garage and the flash from the camera.

Yes that wing has been the topic of much debate since I brought the car home and my friends saw it.

I'll say two things about it.

1)Its functional (adjustable too!)
2)It looks 10 times better in person

Besides its Mugen.

800 bucks? www.kingmotorsports.com

It's not a cool wing cause it's JDM, it's a cool wing cause it looks awesome and it's adjustable without being one of those big DTM-style wings. I love it.

Sorry, but that wing looks ricey to me. $.02

So how did the body work come out? Can you tell, or does it look like it never happened?

Ahhh and the wing still continues to be the focal point...


They did a nice job on the body work. The paint is good. I have to mess with the hood alignment a little bit.

Don't listen to the haters...function over fashion is the antithesis of rice, so how can that wing be ricey?

The Mugen Wing seems to distrupt the Lines of the Car putting a boxy wing on a curvy car doesn't seem to match to me atleast. Looks like a kid drew the wing with a ruler to me lol

I think the wing would fit in much better w/ a Mugen JDM front end

I'm going to shoot some pics today at lunch time. It does not have any interior in it so the pics are going to be all exterior shots.

My thoughts exactly Ross. I am not sure what the hell the big deal is. I love that wing, and ended up buying one for my car. You guys better get use to that wing, because that is all you are going to be seeing come the expo LOL, j/k!

Clayton: Car looks good! Can't wait to see it on the course!

I personally like the wing. Besides the adjustability ...

Isn't rear visibility increased? The stock ITR wing is like smack dab in the middle. Bleh!

Just wondering since I've never sat in an Integra with the Mugen wing.

Yes, the visibility is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay better, even with the wing at full-tilt.
