thanks! i just died the factory floor mats last week. ill post new pics some time. The factory carpet underneath is practically mint! I wish i was around the forums when that one company made factory style replacements with integra embroidered in white on them. Honda made them stop. Super sucks because you cant get the OEM ones anyplace so for now im rocking the original 19 year old ones 8)damn damn damn.. everything looks new and perfect besides the carpet thats the only thing that look to be any sort of worn and thats expected. :shock: wow.

Not a fan of the kit and wheels either, but if you like it, I'll say you did it right. Looks like a quality job all the way around. Great thing is if you ever switch it's style, I'm sure it'll turn out just as great since it looks like you pay attention to detail and you know what you're doing. :thumbs upmy plan back in the day was to make the car look nicer than stock but still be really clean and not too rice. nowadays its pretty friggin ricey. but whatever thats kind of a given. i like it and thats all that maters. but as far as the body work goes my father and i did all of the body work together as a team, then he primed it, i sanded and prepped it for paint, then i took it to the best painter in our whole region to have him spray it for me. I payed for all of the materials. guess what he charged me to paint it? $50 effing bucks!!! i gave him a $100 cause i felt super guilty. he did a bang up job. my dad sprayed the wing and the mirrors a few weeks ago for me at work. the painter did such a good job i didn't even have to wet sand and buff it. zero flaws in the paint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and in response to the automatic transmission. I plan on doing a manual swap next year. im just so freaking glad i have my integra back. i missed the goddamned s*** outta her
So you got a wing after the fact, huh? I like the stock wings on DAs. A lot of people here will tell you to delete it. Nah. It makes your car look better I think despite the other stuff I'm not a fan of .

yeah i know the body kit is not something that most people are not fans of. But like i said its a project from 8 years ago. had i done it now i'm sure i would have skipped the kit all together. but i like it man.
I have always loved the factory wing i thing it makes the car look perfect. 8) i cant express how happy i am to finally have my teg back on the road though! i missed her a lot over 8 years.

Thanks man. She's well taken care of and kinda spoiled. lol And I know what you're saying about missing your teg. I use mine as a DD. I would miss the CRAP out of her if I all of a sudden didn't have access to her everyday. I have dreams where I'm somewhere doing something and I look back where I parked the car and it's just gone. My mind goes into sherlock holmes/panic mode and I wake up. lmfaowow man i love your car! black and sexy!:headbang:

Keep us updated on your car man. Since you just finished alot of work to make an eight year old dream come true, I'm sure you're ready to make any other ideas you get for her a reality pretty easily now.
