My 1998 Acura Integra SE; revised, refreshed, and restarted.

I finally got around to taking pictures today of the stuff that I've done to my car lately. I'll post them when I put my sideview mirrors (plural; the new one came in and I painted them both) back on.
I did NOT go with JUST black on the mirrors. I did something different. You'll see it later.

Good deal on that tablet. Can't wait to see the mirrors.

Here's what I've done since I last posted.

'Daily driven.'


'[Hoonigan]'


'Flatout'; flatoutgfx


Painted, 'A' on steering wheel.


Pulled Styrofoam out of the front doors.


Painted mirrors; scuffed with Scotch-Brite, primered, coated with 2x black base coat, 2x semi-gloss clear coat, 1x red glitter clear coat, and 5x semi-gloss clear coat.


Random pictures.

Here's some better daylight pictures of the mirrors.

Sorry I haven't updated my car in a while. I've had the flu all week and no money, lol.
I did actually get a chance to do some much needed maintenance and a few upgrades to my drumset, so here are a few pictures of that.

I'm curious why you did maroon glittery mirrors.

They didn't match and I was bored. Lol.
They're actually black with a coat of glitter red clear. It actually matches the car pretty well in my opinion.

Random shot of a new decal I ordered a few weeks ago. It just came in today, so I figured why not?
All of these excess decals these people keep sending me are just stacking up. I'm gonna have to start giving them away.


I also ordered a few more parts for my drumset. They should hopefully be here by the end of the week.

You should plastidip your window trim.

You should plastidip your window trim.

It's in the plans if I wind up keeping it. I'm not going to do anything to it other than maintenance until I find out the verdict from the band. This will also give me a little bit of time to get caught up on bills.
If I wind up keeping it, I've got about $600 worth of plans for it including maintenance and a few toys.

nice build

Thanks, man!
Update: I've had multiple auditions and practices for the band that I'm trying out for, but still no decision has been made. The lead guitarist/co-founder of the band did say that my drumming literally, "wow'd" him this last practice, and after I told him that I hadn't even had time to practice the week before hand, he was even more impressed. He then continued to tell me that even though there are a few more tryouts to go that there is a really good chance that I made the cut. So, if that turns out to be the case, I will be selling or trading the 'Teg.
I originally thought that I wanted a Toyota 4Runner, and I still kind of do, but after doing some research, I don't really want to put gas in it. So, now my attention is being primarily focused on a '97-'00 EK hatch or a '98-'04 S-10 pickup.

Here's my "maintenance write-up's" for both the EK and the S-10.

Notes: I did pick Duralast products for a few things on purpose. The Duralast products I chose have lifetime warranties and I can't justify spending the money for OEM if I can just take it off, turn it in, and walk out with another one free of charge.

EK: https://www.dropbox.com/s/72c2ouyysmp1jht/1997-2000 Honda Civic DX hatchback.docx
S-10: https://www.dropbox.com/s/i113bte50543ipi/1998-2004 Chevrolet S-10 2.2L.docx

This wouldn't be all that'd be done to either car. It's just what I'd start with to get maintenance out of the way.

Get a Ek hatch. Good luck, you'll make it man!

You sold the ls meshies and got the current rims?
