Hello from New Zealand, this is my first post introducing my first Honda.
I recently (last week) received my 1999 Integra Type R DB8 from Japan.
It is completely stock for the time being but I have J's Racing Intake on the way for it as well as a BuddyClub Shift **** (the standard one went missing during shipping)
This car is my daily driver so it is pretty tame.
Without further ado, Pics:
In Japan:

The Day I got it:

As per the stickers, I prefer the car without them, keeps it low key and less likely to be targeted for theft.
Especially since it doesnt have an alarm yet.

The car came without the stickers, apparently this is quite common for 4 door Type R's. Im not too worried about it, people who know cars will still know what it is with or without the stickers.
When I first drove the car I couldnt believe how it handled, my other car is lowered with aftermarket springs and shocks as well as strut braces, it has nothing on the Type R, I love it.

Yea its really easy to import to NZ, Im 18 and this is the second car I have imported(no its not funded by my parents, I have a job and work for my own money).
The car only took just over a month from the time of purchase in Japan till when I could pick it up and drive it home.
