You forgot the "http://" in front of the addresses in your images when you typed it in. Besides, I think Angelfire is **** about linking images to outside sources (message boards, websites hosted on another server, etc.)

Your 1/8 mile times should be coming down... I'm at 10.211 @ 69.685MPH and I think you should be a little quicker than me in the 1/8. I'd think 10.0 would be feasible with practice.

I love the ITR wing on your ride. That looks great. As for moving your vtec badge to the dash.... well.... Taking it off the back would **** me off if we were street racing, but nice touch. I'm not so crazy about the white inside on the ashtray and on parts of the center console, but I think it would look SWEET to cover your dash in white vinyl and do your seats in black and white leather... just an idea though.

Finally got the pics workin. About the seats I am gonna get the obx racing seats in black and white, about the dohc vtec badge in my interior I now have a 1.8 l sticker that I put inplace of the dohc vtec. Also in the pics you cant see it but in the hood there are two backwards facing air vents that let air out of the engine bay. (mugen look-a-like) And I know the pic is a lil fuzzy and all of the red looks purple but that was the camera. sorry.
(I got to quit editing my post sheesh)

that is not a Type-R wing by any means at all. whats with the white hood? this is the kinda car i would stare at going down the highway. i hate to be the first one to say this and to fall into the whole cliche of things going on in the scene, but its rice.

its an rs racing wing not a type-r wing (its another look-a-like) I am gonna paint my car soon and when I get my rims and lower it I will be dont with the external stuff and I am going all out with performance! yeah and I agree the white hood is ghetto ricey but my other black hood had oxidation allllll over it and it looked equally bad and I have had many people tell me that it looks good. (I think it looks ugly but better than my old one!)

construct. criticism: that windshield...thing....everyone knows its an integra...take it off.....the grill really looks out of place on that paint color...I'd also take off the 1.8 badge...i dont like seeing badges from other manufacturers on cars....the wing is a taste thing...but it doesnt fall into my taste.

[insert stuff here that owner has already mentioned, but the poster (Takumi) was typing too slow to reply earlier LOL]

I'm sure your car will look a lot nicer once you get your suspension setup in. Plus it'll be a hell of a lot more fun to drive. Are ya getting the silver, gunmetal, or white Sub-Zeros? I think either white or bronze Sub-Zeros would look nice, but that's just me.

you should take it off and leave everything off...windshield banners went out of style in 97...sorry bro...it doesnt matter what it means, if its something meaninful to you get a small sticker and put it on your rear quarter windows or something

did not know windsheild banners were a style but ne ways I like it so uh, About the rota rims I am getting silver and I cant wait till i get my suspension mods but my main concern is paint and rims (due to the lack of rubber I have around my stockers)

believe it or not I have spent 1000 on exterior alone and that is b4 paint. Another note if you notice my passenger side headlight looks really bad and I got it fixed using some plastic polish made to clean lights. If anyone has lights that have faded I highly suggest using this product!! forgot what it is called but i got it from discount auto parts (saved me 350 on a new headlight)

I'd take off the grill, hood, and wing.

Can you tell by now that I don't like your external mods?

That's my opinion though...more power to you if you like it.

Hey, if you remember what the name of that plastic polish is, please post!

I wont tell you cause u dont like my car! nah accually I cant member I am shure that if you ask around at parts stores someone will sell it it is about 4 bucks a bottle and you can even use it on clear lenzes and notice a difference you never notice how dirty your lights really are. About the spoiler it accually is shorter than a type-r spoiler but from the angel I took it it looks high believe me or not
Oh yeah about the one decal I have on my car thats very tame compaired to 99% of the imports riding around SAV GA I would hate for any of you to see pics of the other cars around here but hey we all get our own opinions and I respect yours.

Maby it was a bad I dea to post me cizar no 1 seems to like it. durn rice patrol hehe

i can imagine some of the cars in GA being REALLY BAD!! but one up them and make your car REALLY NICE.....i know some people have this weird thing where they think they need as many mods as they can get and it usually makes their car look cluttered....yours looks cluttered with the sticker, the hood, the grill, the badges, the wing....i dunno its not that bad, but could be improved upon greatly just by removing some of the stuff you already have on there...and i would worry about suspension mods before rims because cars that arent lowered with rims really look like crap.

hehe so I guess z3 fenders and a front RS racing lip would be even more (my old plans b4 i needed new tires and rims) I would get the suspension first its just i need new tires and from now on when i get into an area in my car I am gonna do the whole thing at once not piece by piece!

i think that the hood will look good on the car once it gets painted. i think the money spent on the rims should be spent on suspension mods for sure but at least he wants cool wheels. i have seen it in person and the car does require a full paint job (former owner did not know how to care for the paint).
if it were up to the people on this board everyones car would look the same (basically stock). he just wants to set him self apart from all the other tegs that are in savannah, ga.

oh yeah the reason for the hood and wing i figure all of you should know is cause I wanted a mugen wing they discontinued it and started to prouce that ugly *** wing and then the mugen hood they do not make for the american integra's so I had to get the closest look alike I could find completing the mugen theme. (i have a total of 13 mugen parts on my car some real some look alike) I was even gonna buy the circuit 8 rims cause they look like the mugen ones but I think the sub zero's look better. sorry just had to blow off some steam!
