Default just picked this 95 gsr 4 door,some changes since i got it

iv been outta the honda game for a while
and just picked up this 95 gsr sedan for a nice daily i could add some touches too

151,000 miles when i got it came with the stock fat fives i sanded down a bit to look slighly better,,but the previous owner had a 205 60 15 on them,,i guess to fill the wheel well up so that later led to issues after i dropped it





i added a type r replica front lip and painted ths sideskirts
and tinted the front windows darker




i picked up a 98 -01 integra front bumper and headlights and added clear corners..and addres a type r replica to that front end



found a set of springs and shocks on craigslist ( h & r sports with koni str.t ) to me was the best drop since i didnt wanna spend the koni yellow and gc coilover money lol




as you can see in the above pic the 60 series tires gave me some issues,,rubbing on inner wheel well on major bumps

so the day that i installed the springs and shocks,i picked up a set of gsr blades with 195 55 15 tires on them,,but like most older rims the clear wasnt all that great

if they were i would of prob kept them stock




but i went ahead and painted them graphite a day later
so this is how the car sits now
and im pretty happy,,just lookin or an exhaust and will eventually upgrade to some 16's prob a 6 spoke black or gunmetal with a polished lip

in there somewhere i also added the M3 flush mount type wing
i wasnt big on putting a stock gsr spoiler on there but a type r wing may be starting to grow on me the more i look at db8 type r's

so we shall see if i can find one and just test fit it to see if i really like it better
right now i like the flow of the car,,wish there was a slightly more noticable flush mount wing maybe the size of the RSX's

yeah,,i feel that bigger flush mount may not be too quality,,and fit bad,,not sure iv never seen it on a car,,and only seen a couple m3 style spoilers like mine

its about done to me,,gonna add a cat back sometime,,had a member on here selling a apexi N1,,right now its got some type of aftermarket cat back with a 07 and up SI muffler,,does not sound too bad

all in time, I'm sure you will switch around until you find the right set up.

I would have liked a gloss black wrap on the roof. But nonetheless, good progress - don't stop now.

made the 2 door spoon knockoff mirrors fit the car,,wasnt bad
also wrapped the hood until i get a real cf hood

also put some cf vinyl on the bottom of the rear bumper
i think it looks pretty clean ,most angles its not noticable,but i feel it flows good if you do see it
dont think im going with a diff spoiler

just trying to debate on an exhaust now,,a member has a apexi n1 for sale,or go with the ebay knockoff for 100$ since i already have some form of aftermarket exhaust from the cat to the axle,,all im gonna use is the axle back iv heard the ebay knockoff before on youtube and it doesnt sound bad sounds deep,wondering if flange will line up with what i got,,i dont want anything too crazy loud which i hear the rear apexi n1 is

also waiting to pull the trigger on some db8 window rain visors,,hoping a set of used ones pop up

also added some oem mud flaps which the front are about a 2 finger gap from the ground so they rub every now and again,but they should wear themselves down eventually lol
