Default From Day 1, VSM Integra after 3 years.

Just thought I'd show the trip it went thru since day one.

Beginning in 05 with 77XXXK on it



After hating it to begin with but relizing it was better than nothing and the bus, I learned a few things bout bodywork and what makes a teg look clean. i painted moldings and skirts and got a new bumper with itr lip molded onto it. Also tinted the front windows



Then picked up a ITR spoiler,replica sides and rears and gsr blades. Dropped it on Prokit/Koni Yellows. Also tinted my corners aswell.



Then picked up a set of leather seats front and back.



Then ditched the replica kit and picked up a set of oem optional sides






Then decided to go wingless, the poor mans way




Then one icy night, i rear ended someone and [freak]ed it up pretty good.








After checkin my options, i took the opportunity to go JDM. I drove down to Calgary to pickup a itr jdm front for wicked deal from a local integra member and had another install it all for 1550. Cheaper than prices ive seen just for the parts.







After a month or so waiting to get it into a booth, i got it painted to match at Jus Cuz Customs. They did a killer job and fixed minor alignment issues with the install. And since I was droppin $ into it, I took it upon myself to get the blades refinished and drop it to a height i really wanted (H&R Sports) thx to another local member






Also picked up sum OEM Valences off ebay which were wrongly titled for another steal. Also picked up some H emblems and a HONDA badge




Last touch was H center caps.



And how it sits now



Nothing else planned than other than welding the trunk down the road. Nothing under the hood or exhaust due to being a auto and not wanting the bother with a 5-speed swap.

Where did you get the plugs for the 2 bigger holes on the hatch?
Clean ride.

Rona, they are in the hardware department where the rubber grommets are. They are called Nylon Hole Plugs.

7/8" for the passenger side
7/16" for the driver side.

New wheels would probably set it off, but I think the blades look really good.

Ill keep the blades cause i wanted OEM all round cept the springs.

Im welding the trunk to remove the spoiler holes and the holes the badge left and new badge didnt fill.

And i dont want to bother with a swap, but rather just get a new car down the road
