No Problem Bro,

I got them from Options Auto Salon. 3 Month wait for these rims because they are special order from Japan. Pretty expensive, but they are worth every penny...

So, you removed your front badge thinking that Spoon did it on purpose? LOL, you know why the emblem is missing on the Spoon DC5 right? It was stolen!

Heh

That's pretty funny Supersonic DC2....

I didn't realize that. The thing is that I really do like it without the emblem. It looks really clean without it to me. Also, I needed to remove it in order to paint the grill the body color and to let it dry. I don't want to put it back on for the fear of getting it stolen, like Spoon... It also looks wicked at night under parking lot lights. Just a black hole opening...

Heh
This is classic, I'm going to print this out and frame it. Kind of a sad commentary, in so many ways.

yeah, it cracked me up a little bit when I read the reason why he removed the emblem.
In any case, I think the grille trim is painted to match the body color overseas and not in the states because Acura wanted to keep the pentagonal grill design trademark that's found on the rest of their current models (excluding the NSX), and thus they made it black so it'll be inconspicuous.

The RSX looks are still growing on me. Your car looked pretty good until I saw the gen3 teg behind it. Maybe it's because I haven't gotten used to the looks of the RSX and I'm sure my opinion will change over time, but the gen3 teg looks much better than the RSX, imo.

Anyway, your car looks nice and subtle... I like your mods. Keep em coming

I posted these pics as a tribute to my infatuation with Spoon and JDM parts. They are meant for people to reflect upon and to share in my love of the Integra and Spoon. They were not meant to be mocked at, or posted as a running joke for you. I appreciate all of the positive comments, but please grow up for the rest of you. Sub-par maturity levels will decrease my desire to answer and post postings and knowledge about the Integra DC2 or DC5. Supersonic DC2 and R748, you guys really need to grow up. By the way, my previous car was a 1997 Integra Type R w/total JDM HID Conversion, shaved emblems, and full Spoon Light Tune and Aero parts. What I see Spoon doing to their automobiles, I admire, so I mimic them. Please do not present me to others on this board as an incompetent person that doesn't know JDM from USDM. I really don't appreciate it. If I was wrong in the way that I read your replies, I apologize.

In reply to your post about the JDM Integra grill:

Actually, only the JDM Integra (RSX) Type R model has a color matched grill.
The base model JDM Integra (RSX) i-s model has the same unpainted grill as the USDM RSX/RSX-S. It was purely a trim level difference. No other reason than that.

Actually, Ground Controls are unacceptable for me on a track.

I prefer a more durable set up. I am waiting for the US release of Mugen Suspension, the Tein HA set up, or the Buddy Club set up. All of which are available right now in Japan!

Put the front emblem back on, it looks retarded, like someone stole it. But I guess since Spoon had theirs stolen, yours should look the same...

Otherwise your car looks awesome. I don't dig many of the new RSX colors, you picked a really sweet one.
