Default A little before and after of my DC4

Last week I got some rims and full coilovers.




Now I dropped it a bit and took that wing off.







I think it looks WAY better now.

Question, Color match my rocker, mirrors and side moldings? Or leave them black? Definatly in need of a 98+ conversion and a ITR lip but its not in me to do that until the car is fast

Enjoy

Thank you We Todd

don't forget the alignment, since you changed the ride height of the car, thereby changing the toe-in settings.

Yea I was just calling around right now finding a place that can get it as close to spec as possible with it lowered. Going to go get that done this weekend

Actually after searching on this board and looking at other integras, I do want the sides color matched.

Anyone have a general idea of how much to paint the moldings? How much would I be looking at to have them shaved.??


Thanks Errry one

goto discount tire and get some black lug nuts. The chrome ones look bad. When I had my slips, I took them off and painted the center dust covers on the hub in the back black. and the axle bolt and tips black on the front. Doesn't look so contrasting. Other than that

I didnt yet, but for all that was wondering.

I went to a few body shops the lowest price I got was 200, and the highest I got was 275, so its not to pricey.

I asked one shop how much it would be if I just tac weilded a plate, then bondoed and took to him to prep, finish and shoot it and he said 80 bucks. So ill probably do that.

Hmm 250 to paint the trunk lid, I want to shave the emblems and re-paint the bumper when I put a 98+ on. Wondering how much that will run me.
I'm hoping around 400

IMO If ur goin to get the holes on the trunk filled, i'd recommend that u shave ur side moldings too...it might be a lil more but cheaper on the long run if u do decide to shave em laters. It would also look like a type r since u dont have a sunroof. but the 4 lugs will give it away.

Car looks good with the black accents...I wouldn't waste my money painting stuff like that, it looks cool. That stuff is just something that will chip later anyway. Get yourself a nice Comptech lip, and call it a day. Maybe even those cool little "Spoon/Vision" mirrors.

EDIT: "Look" like a Type-R? Some people are unreal.

I agree. Rock the stock moldings.
