Default by no means a show room shine

just thought i would post a few pics of my recent clay barring and waxing
sorry camera sucks and im not much of a photographer




in this pic you can see where they repainted the quarter panel... local Honda Svc department put a nice ding in the quarter panel back when it was 3 months new... weird that you can only see the different shades in photos. anyhow the car gets and new paint job as soon as the jdm front is put on

sticker that brothers friends made after his passing

if you look closely you can read the odometer at 107k+


its a little dirty but its my daily driver and was meant to get dirty

the car looks like a monster truck with the 225-50 drag rads up front... i still have a **** load of plans for the future... just thought i would share a little bit on the life of 98 ITR #406

Dirty, All you need to do is buy a bottle of simple green and every 3 time you wash the car. Rinse, spray simple green, lightly brush and rinse.
I have 61,500 on my R and the motor still looks like new.
Min amount of effort, really.

I cover nothing, and brush whatever needs. But since I keep on top of it... I never have to scrub.

I might be crazy for noticing this, but do u guys realize that the integra imprint on the front bumper in on the passenger side rather than the driver side where it is supposed to be all USDM OEM bumpers? Is that some kind of EDM thing or what? It just doesn't seem right? whats the deal?

Please elaborate for me on the front emblem thing. Why is the integra imprint on the opposite side? I can easily make the assumption thats its custom or something like that, but was wondering what the case is.
