Default my new dc4

Just got around to getting a picture of it. As mentioned before, its not the greatest one i've seen on here, but it is a start. Hopefully when i'm finished it will look good. It's unique (i've been told) due to the factory paint on it is black with gold flakes. This paint was supposed to be for the 95 ex or si and somehow it got put on this. Factory reject for teh win. Has the 17 momo's, intake, greddy exhaust, clear corners, and a few other minor things. I'm curious to hear what you all think

Well everyone has their own tastes, my opinion is:

-ugly wheels
-ugly clear corners
-massive ride height
-not unique at all

but its your and if you like the props

lol. I didn't say the car was unique. I said the paint. The gold flake i've never seen from factory on any integra. And yes I am going to drop it some and put new wheels on it.

Thats my plan as soon as I get the money together. I'm going to do a complete rebuild with a b16 tranny, drop it on h&r's and probably sell/trade those momo's and parada's for some rotas.

good start.. but needs work..

lower it.. sportlines would be nice.
new rims.. not a fan of those.
shocks would be a good idea if you're gonna do springs.

and get good tires.. then you're suspnsion and handling needs are set for now.

then decide what you want to do engine wise..

Is it just me but are your tires on backwards? I can't really tell from the pic but it looks like a backwards rotational patern.

They are yokohama parada's, they are supposed be like that.

This is correct, the 94-95 black was Granada Black Pearl, which had the gold flakes, so it's not that rare at all. The Flamenco and Nighthawk blacks in later years did not have gold flakes.

Like everyone else has said it definitely needs to be lowered. I'm not really digging the rims either. They are kind of big imo. But none-the-less, good start so far.

Although, I suppose I should of included the price I paid for it. *smile* I paid a little over 3k for it. Which, in the NW is very hard to come by. Which is why i'm considering it a starting point.

Alright now an opinion question. No emblems/badges or honda ones?

Looks pretty decent with none, but i can't decide if i want to leave it or put honda/stock ones on.

Opinions?
