Nifty

Me personally, I'd paint all the black stuff CW. But to each his own.

I'd definitely put the wing back on before any track events though and suggest you do the same.

Take off the angel eyes, turbocharge it, and call it a car

For some reason I am not a fan of a CF hood on a USDM front but I think it looks great on a JDM one though.

Thanks all.

As for the wing I prefer the car without. Dont know its just different for an R

As for boosting it....never That would totaly destroy the true spirit of an R

I think 218whp on stock stroke is pretty good myself.

And the damn halos were on the car when I got it. Luckily they are not functional and are getting ready to be swapped out for some 8K HID's

I'm sorry, but a carbon hatch with a stock rear glass (complete with rear wiper) looks very odd, IMHO. It also makes it clear that you only bought the carbon hatch for looks.

The wing is only useful if you plan on tracking it, so I wouldn't worry about not having a wing. It appears you only do drag racing, correct?

I would however, recommend putting the wing back on at least once and trying the car out on a road course. It's a lot of fun.

Aftermarket HID kits with stock headlights do not produce good results. There is no gain in the amount of light put on the ground, and there is too much glare produced. I had an aftermarket HID kit on my ITR for one week, before selling it. Retrofit HID projectors into the stock headlights, if you want HID's.

I'll have to disagree with you on this, It's all about the quality of the HID kit that is being used.
I have near perfect lighting and most people that have seen my caR will agree. I have a Catz 4300 plug n play set up and WOW I have had people get in my car and say it just like their 2005-6 factory HID equiped cars.

If a camera could capture the lighting without adding glare or distorting I'd post pics.

I could not be any happier

Can you take a picture of your car's cutoff line? I've never seen a stock Integra projector with a sharp cutoff line.

Thanks for the thoughts.

These pics are a lil older so to let you all know The rear wiper is gone and plugged.
I am buying OEM Headlights and using an aftermarket HID Conversion.
I have yet to be able to auto X the car as of yet but am planning to as soon as the season starts up again.
As for the wing I am going to be intstalling my 2nd Gen Mugen wing that I purchased from King Motorsports.

Here it is.
Don't mind the quality of the pic I shot it with my very old and first digi camera...
Oh yeah, the parking lot was crooked to

but the cutoff of the headlights are clearly visable.

OT: how much effect does the OEM spoiler has on the stability in high speed? or do you feel other things?
i have a unknown aftermarket carbon spoiler on my car now, and i really don't like it but a new ITR wing is expensive and requiers repaining ++

even with a perfect cut off, on the roads in the tri state, it is sure to have a nasty glare because all the roads are uneven, which is why i am against hids

Care to share your setup as to how you got 218whp?
