INTRODUCTION: I'm 21 and everyone in my surrounding area knows me as "Shep". I'm currently serving in the Air Force as a sheetmetal mechanic on C5 Galaxy Cargo Aircraft. I been in the honda/acura seen for going on two years now. I purchased my 1997 Integra ls in April of 2008. I purchased her with 160k miles on the motor and with rear end damage. Im the 3rd owner and the previous owners didnt take care of the car. The car went through a complete makeout from the exterior to the interior. I have a timeline from when i purchased the car to how it sits now.


TIMELINE:
Before & After of Body-Work




Now for some PAINT!





Out in the light**

 

Forwarding a little, I decided to get some new shoes for the DC. I got in touch with a vendor for Rota and i purchased a set of 15'' Candy Red Slipstreams wrapped in Flaken Ziex 512.



Got some parts soon after i purchased the rims:
Skunk2 front camber kit
Personal Woodgrain Steering Wheel
Nrg Hub
Asr Subframe Bar-- "Candy Purple"
Blox LCA-- "Candy Puprle"
Beaks Lower Tie Bar--"Candy Purple"




Installed everything within that week and bought new stage 1 exedy clutch/fidanza flywheel

 

Went to the Honda Meet in Richmond this year, I have a freind that in college for Photography so I have my own personal photographer for me lol. Few pictures of the crew driving to the meet.





Soon after getting back from the meet. I decided that i wanted to do another make-over of the integra again. I sent it off to have the engine bay re-done, touch up outside, new set of rims, and a few extra surprises.

 

Two months pasted while the car was off getting a make-over. My dad surprised me on my 21st by buying me a 6 week Siberian Husky. I had to give him the perfect name "Mugen" lmfao!


Got my hands on a set of 15'' Enkei 92. Dude shipped them to me from Cali and they went straight to getting powdercoated by ASAP. Pulled the motor and prepped everything for the engine bay to be sprayed. Also a dude that i work with is an amazing wood worker and he surprised me with a custom made shift ****. ITSSOFRESSH!



Now for the finish products!!!!

 

love the shift ****! keep it up!

 

This is how the car sit as of today. I sold the ls motor and bought a JDM gs-r motor off of a friend. Has 35k miles on the motor and runs strong as hell! Traded my slips to my friend for his yakima roof rack and another friend my ls seats for some tenzo-r seats. Then one night Brandon (my photographer) and Blake (Cousin) came up with the idea to start a company called itssofressh. I make up our first set of decals and in the future we are going to try to create a clothing line/website for our photography side of the company for our local meet then nationwide once we are established.


Called up Brandon one night for a photo-shoot!







~MORE TO COME~

 

Voltage blue? My cousin had a teggy exactly the same except on red gt3's
Fresh as ****!!

 

ever thought about polishing the rims.. i think they'll look better.

 

Electric blue pearl.

 

Yea I thought about it when I purchased them, but it would have been hard as hell to get inside of the basketweave, that's y I decided to just go with getting it powdercoated candy purple.
