This is my 97 integra. i bought is two years ago and its been through a lot.. i was run into a guard rail and also i hit a deer on the interstate so needless to say.. its amazing it looks this good lol.

thanks for lookin. ON WITH THE PICS

i bought it with steelies and quickly needed rims so here is recently after i bought it





the way she sat through iowa winter...



Then i got run into a guard rail by a truck and this is how she looked after if fixed the screwed up quarter panel!





So then i decided that i wanted to newer 98-01 front end so i started rounding up parts for that




Next was full restoration.. Deletion of side moldings, repair of all dings a dents and prep for paint! o ya.. and a new hatch with type r spoiler and an ITR front lip










next was to my school where i am training for collision repair and painting.






Right after the booth - PRIMER



Second Visit to the booth







all put back together




New lip put on



Right outside my college just before she heads home for the first time
Haha the first picture is my cell phone.. and the next one is my camera.. its funny cuz my cell takes better pictures





the toys under the hood!




First time in the rain with the new paint!






Her first debute at iowa's first meet of the summer





thats how she sits now! thanks for lookin!

I REALIZE THE BUMPERS DONT MATCH PERFECTLY. I HAVE SPENT NO TIME ALIGNING OR BUFFING THE BUMPERS SO ONCE THAT IS FINISHED EVERYTHING WELL BE GOOD.

Looks amazing Im diggin those wheels what are they?

 

looks great! i would've kept the grill though and painted the intercooler. wheels are ok i guess, different for sure.

 

nice little ride

 

Looks so much better! I would of shaved the emblem holes though and pick up some new wheels.

 

you mustve used aftermarket parts, the front bumper doesn't fit too well with the passenger fender. Did you use flex agent on the bumper? The color is way off on the bumper to fender/hood... That paint booth is nice!! is it a down draft? Its huge.

 

^front bumper is real, you can see the words 'integra' indented on it.

bumper is OEM honda. no flex agent in the paint. flex is only necessary if the bumper would need to be bent a ton. paint naturally has "some" flex in it and since the bumper was already mounted i knew i wouldnt have a problem. and the only reason it doesnt match is cuz i havent buffed the bumper at all. it will match someday. just havent had the time to sand and buff the bumper. It matches 100x better in person. camera's always pinpoint flaws lol.

thanks for the comments guys!

i like my wheels cuz they are different and no one has them. and i have new honda emblems for it in the front and i have been looking for a specific "H" emblem in the rear.. i havent found one for a decent price yet.

 

thats what i like to see....junkyard teg to a nice stock lookin teg with some boost in it. good job man. looks decent

 

I'll be in Marshalltown this weekend

 

nice lookin car bro. Bump because you did it yourself... and because you dont care what these clowns think! lol...jk...

 

mad props for doing all the work on your own! Great looking teg!

dude i know what i am doing. i used the same paint gun.. and at the same time as my car. the reason they dont match perfect is because they arent buffed and i didnt seal the bumpers.. regardless i mixed it all up in the same gallon can.. reduced it all together and sprayed it all equal coats.. thanks for your concern.
