Ever since I took the spoiler off my Black ITR, i have not been getting revved on, or even looked at by Ricer's, its a great feeling not to feel like your being watched bysome goof in a Civic with Type R stickers and a exhaust tip.

The best Feeling I had in the world was pulling into a local gas station with about 4 moddified honda's and they asked me the best question I ever heard "How Much did you get the 5 lug for, and where did you buy it" it was music to my ears

---------------M

 

kool, do you still have your typeR stickers?

 

they dont just peel off, took some work to do it right, however Mike K can order some for you

 

ehh? hehe i'm not looking to buy them, i was just wondering did you have your typeR stickers on your car when those honda guys asked about your car.

 

you can always do the ITR -> GSR conversion juju


yshi - who doesn't recommend this

 

yoshi, how is that an itr gsr conversion? isn't it the other way around?

 

sorry I thought I said my R had no stickers, my first mod was taking the stickers off

 

It's an ITR w/ JDM front conversion and GSR interior/sus/ motor conversion

 

dang, why would anyone want to do that, especially the GSR motor and sus, and it has a sun roof..hm... I guess that guy accidently bought the wrong car

hahaha!

Chris, who got the joke

 

Stealth man, stealth...

I've only had one person in passing notice it was an R, "at a gas station." The others who ask silly stuff I just say: " Nah it's an RS!" and I'm on my merry way.

It does feel good not to have all the hassle.

Oh, and the stickers and wing were easy compared to the front "A" emblem, just ask Rodney. It took a total of about 30 minutes to remove the stickers, wing and rear emblems. The front emblem took over 1 hour. We had to remove the whole front nose just to get it off correctly.

Stealth

A.

 

Good to hear that.

 

what did you do about the holes the emblem left behind?

 

 

it must look like a total sleeper. trust me, with all the thefts going on, i would do the same thing if i had a type-r.
its the reason y i painted my car black; got rid of the red recaros...ppl these days like to steal what they cant have...

 

I've always contemplated converting my R to look like its lower trim siblings. My conversion would be:

- Switching emblems, and sideskirts to unpainted trim
- Removing spoiler and stickers
- Devoloping some way to attach magnets to the molding to allow easy removal and placement
- Switching ITR seats for leather
- Using Mazda Millenia wheels with centercap to hide 5lug

All this would be done to fool thieves. But after figuring the cost to do this, I could just get a beater

 

haha

 

 

street racing sucks

 

($850 + $200 tires) = $1050 towards beater car.

BONUS - lower insurance with multi-car discount. Gotta love NJ with their insane premiums

But I remember reading somewhere on this board that somebody still had their ITR stolen after doing some stealth mods to the car. Although I do not know to what extent their stealth mods were.

i only have a GSR..........and get revved at all the time.

 

See, now you know why I took that stuff off the day i bought the car. I don't get reved on except by other R owners.

 

Sleeper =

 

 

I still enjoy the, "it's an LS"...i guess noone here really looks at the 5-lug, plus i have ambers all the way around...thinking about sticking some nice moldings, for the extra sleeper look...
