Hey guys,
Just got my new ride. 1995 Acura Integra GSR BONE STOCK!! I never thought I would ever buy a stock car, but hell why not. The car has 135,000 original kms and its never been raced and I can be sure of that ;) Please vote, and let me know what you think of my ride. Thanks
I was debating to cut out the pieces inside the grill of the front bumper to give it a more clean look. I think it would look more like a 98-01 front bumper. If I could get some insight on this, that would be great. Let me know thanks.

Car is in the body shop at the moment, getting prettied up with removal of door dents and dings on the body so when she comes out, she should be shinnin' just right. Then I can get down to buisness.

Bought a set of 16" Motegi rims off a bud for cheap with 95% tread. In the process of sanding them down and going with flat black. Haven't decided if I want to clear coat it yet. Rims are temporary though. I'm getting Rota Gt-3's black w/ chrome lip soon.
Oct.19/2008
Rims are all done with prep, primer. 1 coat of flat black is on them right now, and there gunna get 2 more coats. Here are the before and after shots. Quite happy how they turned out, and they will do until I get my rota gt-3's :D

After:
I'm gunna go with no center cap :)

Alright, so I just dropped some serious cash, but it's well worth it. I ended up getting a full audio set-up.
Those who arn't aware of EFX, its the audio line put out by Scosche. I can't wait to hear these pound. It's gunna be SERIOUS!!
-800W Max, Monoblock Amplifier
-Dual Voice Coil 12" sub/w ported box
-6.5"/6.75 Coaxil speakers X2 Front and Back
-Apline 9874 Deck
-Wiring harnesses, audio cables
And of course the best thing of all......
-Computstar PRO 2 way page alarm with auto start. 2WFM-AS-PRO
Cost me quite a bit, but as of now im still trying to get the intake and type-r spoiler. Might have to hold off on the exhaust for a bit.

Got my rims on, they look great. I would love to lower the car, but I say go big or go home. Having said that, I want to go with coilovers and now springs :P My next mod to the car is defenelty going to be a type-r spoiler followed by 6000-8000 hids.

Order amber bumpers lights and waiting for them to come in so I can pick them up. Can't wait, I know they'll look great.
Pickin my car up on the 10th from install. Compustar 2W9000 2 way page alarm pro with auto start and my audio set up. Can't wait. I know the system is gunna boom, and hell I can't handle putting a key in the door anymore. Go big or go home. Auto start baby. Haha.
I'll keep you guys posted with each and every step.

Got the car back and everything is perfect. Other than the fact that I already blew my brand new 12" sub. Going to pick up a new one tomorrow. I might end up getting another 12" sub and run 2 12"s I don't know. I'll keep it posted and i'll take pictures soon. Gotta love auto start ;)
Nov.11/08
Ok so I got a new sub, and blew it again in 20 minutes. The wiring must have been done improperly. I am too used to opening the trunk to reveal smoke coming from the blown sub :( I think I might have to get 2 12" subs cause this single just can't handle it. Going to pick up another one on wednesday.

Sub #3. I just realized that the person who was wiring up my system and alarm put the amp gain and db's to max. No wonder I blew em so quick, and the amp is quite the big daddy so im not suprised it blew so quick. I turned them down to half way, and put the deck settings to a conservative level so fingers crossed now.
Im going to drop the front bumper soon because I bought licence plate bumper plugs, but the brackets fell inside the bumper so I need to fix them in order to get the plugs to stay in place. While im at it, im going to drill inside the grill and put custom brackets to mount the licence plate off to the side the right way, and not with zap straps haha.
I'm going to be getting hids soon, and I think im going to get a short ram intake, even though I know I should be getting cold air, there is alot of rain where I live and the last thing I want is to get the filter wet and thus not doing what its supposed to ;)

Bought a AEM Short Ram Intake for 50 bucks! What a deal. Great condition, and installed makes it even better. Vtec sure sounds better when its going through an AEM intake. Wow, what a difference. I'll be sure to post pictures up when I can. Next on the list.... HID'S!!

Finally, FINALLY got my Spoon Sports Resevoir Covers. They took so long to order, I almost gave up on them.
Nov.21/08
I picked up a T1R Full Catback Exhaust off of a 99 Type-R for 275. These exhausts are very high quality, and they retail for 800+ taxes so I got a great deal. The catback is in great condition with minimal scratching, and on the midpipe aswell. 2.5 inch piping is going to make it sound superb. Take a look at the pics, I haven't polished them yet. Getting them installed today, can't wait to hear this bad boy scream.
Next to come:
-6000 K Hids
-Type-r Spoiler
Exhaust and lowering would be great. But i'm gunna have to put aside 2000 dollars for that which I just can't do right now. :)
Please rate and post. Thanks guys

Lamborghini LP540 vs Subaru STI vs my Integra GSR highway battle. Keep in mind, I was trying to keep up....
My plans for the car at first are as followed:
Lowering 1.5-2.2" Front And Rear
2 10" Subs In Enclosure W Amp ~Complete 1 12" with 800 w amp~
CompuStar Alarm System ~Complete Compustar PRO auto start 2 way~
Spoon n1 Axel Back Exhaust With Test Pipe ~Complete T1R Full Catback System~
Short Ram Intake ~Complete AEM Short Ram Intake~
ITR Spoiler
HID's
The car is really clean inside and out, and im sure once the mods are finished the car will be gorgeous. Slowly but surely, she'll come around.
I'll keep her updated, and hopefully she will look good sooner than I hope :(
