Sup kids. Ive been floating around a few sites (my local being race850) and ive finally found i site I like that doesnt hate on EVERYTHING you do with a car. Just like the title, i bought my 91 integra and it was riced to tits. I got it when i was 15. Now im 19 and have been making some changes. Less talk more pic’s with captions.
Here’s my babe when I first bought her. Cost two grand with 240k on the motor. Now that i see it, i was probably ripped off. It ran great though so i couldnt complain. Magnaflow Performance exhaust. Aftermarket intake, red top optima battery, and a sexy body kit and 17’s!(my old thought of it, lolz)
So first was first. new paint job cause the current one wasnt cutting it. I got a $600 exterior paint job at a local shop
Your all probably like “im done with this kid.” by now; but lets keep going anyways.
I decided to do a little car meet at my collegiate high school parking lot. This kid decided it would be a good idea to do a paint job himself. He said there would be Japanese symbols on his hood… So i sent out the ROFLcopter. enjoi
then he came…
dont mind the fro. I went through a few stages over the past few years. From Fro to Straight Perm, now all gone.
We all took joys rides around the lot and laughed historically for months after.
Ill continue in a lil bit. I promise it gets better.
As it goes on. I went on craigslist and found some Enkei kicks for her. They were chipped and had gold rivets. I wanted blue rivets and i was convinced that having the backs fully painted and the fronts polished was cool. SIKE. but here it is.
Slight improvement right? hah.
After a few bumps and bruises with the body kit and suggestions from the mates that I should go stock. I threw the stock front and back on. Then I tried to fabricate the front lip to make it as long as the sides. Turned out looking like trash, so thats where i put it. Before the next big meet i decided to aircraft strip the back dish of the rims and polish them. Pics from Rides n Tides 2012 a couple months ago. (I put my lil whipper in the secondary parking lot cause it was lookin boboasfuu)
Ended up noticing a week ago that my lip brackets sucked (too short) , and the lip wasnt even on straight.
Now for the present. I took the lip off, got some 3m molding tape, and mounted it straight. Also bleached the Tail Lights. Then got some Mothers Back to Black Trim Restore and applied about 5 coats. Here is how she sits today!
Im also dropped on unnamed coils and shocks.
More to come tho.
Plans?:
NEW FENDERS!!!
Accord rear lip
repaint valve cover and replace gasket. (I think its part of my small oil leak)
Angle exhaust so its not pushing on rear bumper (or just buy a greddy)
repaint rear rims ( aircraft remover did some damage)
koni yellow shocks
drop the coils more (I think im on egays), not sure. pic:
sunroof visor
remove yellow from front light (sucks because its yellow on the inside. Suggestions?)
blah blah blah. Ill keep you updated. G2IC OR STAY HOME!!!
lol They’re not the worst, but definitely Altezza/Euro/Ebay looking and don’t mesh at all with finish on the headlights or fog lights. I think I dislike them so much because I was forced to sport them for a few years as the only “white” corners available on Ebay when my more stock looking white corners broke. Hated those things. lol
nice transformation…only thing left is finding some fenders…i waslooking at that ebay mugen style lip i think i may get it now i was wonder how it’d look, i love the look…nice job man.
I have to applaud you on a job well done on the rice to nice, But get rid of the fenders and corner lights…If you want the JDM look headlights do on Depo and get there corners look pretty good…Great Job!
Exige & Brent: I do notice now they dont really flow. The fitment blows tits too, ive been wondering why they were off alignment wise. Ive been slacking to go to Pensacola pick yards, but hopefully ill find some one pieces or normal clear 3 pieces.
… and fenders ;b
It’s getting there. ditching the $hit-kit body work was a good decision. Get stock fenders and oem corners for it. I’ll never understand what the craze was back then for those garbage body kits that made a car look like a retarded japanese robot-catfish, but then again I’m mostly a purist. I do like the front lip you added though… I am thinking of getting the same one, reason being that the previous owner of my teg drilled the front bumper for foglights and did a botch-job, and that front lip would cover the suspect area. I’m also in the process of correcting a car that started out on “the rice and the riceiest” path. Price was right so I can’t complain…
HOLY MOTHER OF RICE!!! That much rice doesn’t even come with my Chinese food lol Ok now I’m done with the jokes. Over all I love where you’re going with this. They make clear corners that look factory if your not a fan of the amber. I have them and they are cheap online. I don’t know how the laws are where your at but I just have to throw amber bulbs into mine and its perfectly legal. I’m subscribing to see how it keeps going Check out mine!
Check out mine!
