So sorry everyone! You all gave me such a warm welcome and I haven't been back to update my build.
A lot has happened the last few months. I got in a small accident (not my fault) which did some damage
to my front end. My insurance did an awesome job for me. I got $1444 for nothing other than a scuffed
up front bumper. Can you believe it!? So thanks to this dumb person I have a newly painted & shaved front
bumper cover, OEM Raybrig fogs, TypeR replica lip, a new windshield, new driver's door, and new alarm.
Unfortunately I haven't had time to put them on because of my latest mod I made. Tell me what you think!

So my friend is gonna pick my teg up next week and get the rest of the work done. He's gonna
polish my blades and clear my headlight lenses as a congratulations too. So I'll get you guys some
pix of the finished product in the next few weeks. It's gonna look awesome!

Hey nice car. I need a 4 door gsr. Hatch is a bitch putting the carseat in. How do you like your WS2? and nice EM1. That was my favorite car too till i bought my GSR. Looks like you had a evo2 exhaust on it.

Thanks everyone. I like the WS2 a lot more than the evo2 I had on my b16. The evo2 was just too loud,
droning, and raspy in my opinion. The WS2 is nice because it looks great, it sounds awesome at full
on acceleration and redline, but when you want it to be quiet it's nice and quiet for driving with the baby
or cruising on the highway.

Just wait til your little one starts talking about "mommy's car" ..my emma told people that mommy drives a Honda and it's shiny red.

Haha, mommy's car. I can't wait. I also have an '09 fit but it's just too uncomfortable. We actually have more
room in the integra than the fit. Im gonna sell the fit and get a 02-06 CRV as my mommy mobile. My GSR will
be garaged all winter. That's my fun/work car. The fit has been more of my "out of town" car since I travel
to st louis 1 week a month. (5 hour drive south of here)

Here's a few pics of my Gsr right before the accident.



I don't have a pick of my front bumper afterwards, but this is the bumper I've been rocking since
I sent my original one off for paint. Neither of the turn signals in this thing work lol. (>_<)
Painted my wipers too, they were looking pretty rough.



I also have new springs on. I think it looks a lot better than before. New ones are H&R Sports.
The old tein h-techs were just too squishy, and too much wheel gap up front.

Notice how bad the rust is on the driver's door... My new door is painted and will be on soon.
I was also thinking of painting the window trim black too.




Thanks everyone!

Ya I had an 02 wrx for a few months. It's kind of a long story. I heard through the grapevine about a
woman sellin her Wrx wagon for real cheap so I called her up about it. She said the engine was
bad and she wanted 4500 for it. So I drove out to see it (this is back in march), and looked it over. Well I
bought it on the spot. I thought about selling both my gsr and honda fit and keeping the wrx as my all
purpose vehicle but I just loved my Integra too much to sell it.

So the funny thing is that there was nothing wrong with the subie, just needed a tune up and a new o2
sensor and it was good as new. (90k miles on it) I bought it for $4500, put $500 in to it, drove it for 700
miles and then sold it for $7300! I didn't like the wrx that much honestly. The awd was nice but it wasn't
as fun as my teg. Throttle response felt so much quicker in the teg. The subie was fast when i hit boost,
but the teg felt a lot quicker off the line.
