Default 3rd times a charm. RMC DC2 build(slow)

OK so this will be my 3rd time starting to build a car. little history i bought my buddies ej8 about a year ago. had so much fun with it. got it resprayed suzuka blue, lsv swap with jrsc made 227hp and it was my daily. came home from the mall to find my car gone with blue plastic and metal shavings all over the road. A f350 with a snow plow hit the *** end while passing and threw it into a telephone pole. So that was the end of that. Now i just picked up this mint 99 ls integra. bought it with 94k on the clock bone stock. had the iintentios of going boost but ive always dreamed of having a kswaped integra. i had an 2002 si with a k24 and it was a blast. this is my daily for now and will be a very slow build. Im very picky when it comes to detail and quality is a big thing ive learned over my earlier cars. this will be gettign only the best parts. i have no deadline with this car, i want to take my time with the whole project. Ok enough talking lets start!

and this is the new car, so far i've added type r wing, front lip, function form coils, 5k hids, hyper white tag bulbs, and cleaned the whole car inside and out
