looks pretty good.
I hate bike/utility racks on a Honda, though. I understand if you use them, which is fine. But some people (not picking at you, as I know nothing about your build), some people will build these really nice, borderline show quality cars, and throw a bike rack on the roof and KILL the look of the car. Yet, still win trophies, or yield comments like:
"Yo, that bike rack is SICK. Where'd you get it?" *acting like racks are rare.
or
"Damn, dawg. That rack is hard. SO CLEAN."
that shit is ridiculous.
its official. I'm going to build a mini-truck, put it on bags, and ridiculously low offset wheels that extend about 28 feet out of the fender, and put ladder racks on it. But not put ladders on it because it "kills the look of the racks"
function over form.
your Integra is nice, and the wheels are a nice touch. I'm in no way picking at you, just the fact that some people put bike racks on roofs to follow a trend. I have personally met a guy at a meet who said after I asked him what kind of bike he had.
here's the convo, to the best of my recollection:
me: "What kind of biking do you do?"
tool: "I don't ride a bike. Actually, I never learned how."
me: "So, what's up with the bike rack?"
tool: "I saw one on a hatchback a few months ago, and it looked sexy as fuck"
me: *turns and leaves*
tool: "What?"
me: *still walking away*
tool: "WHAT!?!?!"
me: *still walking, drops head and shakes in disbelief*
the Honda community in general is doomed because of people like that.

its not in SoCal, but a friend of mine picked up some goodies from a DB2. If he has any of this stuff, I'll ask him what he wants for it. You'd have to pay shipping, but I might have a lock on the parts for you. Can't guarantee, because he's quick with his parts. He usually only has the stuff for a few days or so. They might already be gone.
