Hey guys, Let me tell you a little about myself and then Ill get to all the pics as Im sure you all are picture whores. lol

My names Brandon. I joined back in 09 when I got this car yet Im just now making my first post. I got my first Honda, a 91 CRX Si, back in 04 when I was 17. I was a bit of a ricer, as Im sure we all were at one point. I had that car for about 5-6 years till I traded it in 09 for my now 90 Integra LS. Ill throw a pic couple pics in of the crx if you guys wnat. So nearly 4 years Ive had my integra and I dont feel to much has changed. Anywho, on to the pics starting from when I first got her till now.

This is what my “Panda” looks like now.


This is what it looked like the first day I seen it.






And a random pic of the CRX I had on my PB.

This is the next day after owning it.

Now the back








4

Got a factory front lip

Then I had to start installing speakers and a radio cause it didnt come with either.






Also got rid of those super sweet red pedals and madd jdm carbon fiber shift knob and boot.

5

And this is how it was sitting for awhile

Random Pic

7

And this is when I got back to FL from PA.


Started doing some cleaning cause I had 3 engines and 2 transmissions along with pretty much everything I owned in the back.






8

Changed the back trim piece cause it was dented and starting to rust.





Got some legend yellow caps

9



Started yanking the A/C out cause it didnt work anyway.



Forgot to add I got a stock air box at that point. I couldnt stand seeing the super short ram intake.

10

After that nothing happened for awhile until, through a fortunate event, I got some blades for free! They are a bit beat up but definitely better than steelies.

Needs to be lowered.

Also got some factory front and rear seats. Along with a cargo cover from the local pull-n-pay. Im not a fan of the tan but no tears on the driver seat!

11

Got some HIDs. 8k for the headlights and 3k for the fogs.


12

After having a lot of dreams of my car getting stolen I decided it was time to invest in a good alarm. Also got a few other things.

New headlights and amber bumper lights


13

A few random pics



14

The dullness of the blades was starting to get to me so I thought id give sanding and polishing a shot.



For a quick job they were a bit better.

And another random pic

15

Now on to the engine bay. The flaking valve cover just made everything look worse so time to re-do it.
