I picked up this 98, clean titled single owner, milano red Integra a few months ago and have barely touched the surface on much progress. Any comments and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

So this is what it looked like when I first picked it up:

What it looked like for a while after I got it.

Removed the spoiler, swapped the logos, dropped it on Tenabe springs w/ Rota GT3s

Stripped out my rear seats, cleaned it up a bit and laid down some sound dampening carpet. Total cost 16 bucks

Picked up an OEM ITR front lip from a local HT member

I got really really sick of the Rotas and decided to order some 15" Enkei RPF1s, Tokico Illuminas and some H&R race springs

Sold the Rotas for $600 and installed these

Notice the height before suspension was on:

And after:

Stuff Installed:
-Momo champ wheel w/ Mugen horn button
-Momo hub
-98 spec JDM ITR cluster
-ITR boot and armrest
-Mugen 5mt knob (blue)
-Amber climate control
-New DStuning mats
-JHP plate frame

Installed the clock block off tray and realized I really hated not knowing what time it was lol

So after a little while I traded a guy straight up for an amber clock then bought an Si deck (which was a pain to install) so the whole dash lights in amber

Worth it IMO

Next came the milano red side skirts that I got off craigslist for 40 bucks!!

Love these wheels!!

I don't know why, but I really like this pic ^

Purchased a new steering column cover to replace my old scratched up one:

It was finally a nice day in Oly, so I figured I'd clean the car up and take some pics.

And the super cluttered bay which will be getting cleaned up here very soon... I hope

I have quite a few more pics but I'm gonna wait and post some up after a few posts

Thanks for lookin!

car looks really good. Some OEM fogs would make it complete. what exhaust do you have?

I'm not a huge fan of the OEM fogs so I'm probly just gonna leave it with the lip. But its stock as of now

subscribed! love the progress. i should start one of these for mine.

lol DO IT!!

So I will be posting up quite a few of new pics tonight... especially of my paint job on the lip.

Check back a lil bit later for some updates

So I have decided to just paint the front lip myself because every body shop I went to was gonna charge me from $130 to $150, CRAZY!! Plus it's so close to the ground its gonna just get all chipped up anyways since its my DD. So yesterday I went out and bought some supplies for the job.

Heres how the lip sat when I first got it:

Everything cost me around $25 bucks, so even if it doesn't turn out perfect I'm not out anything and if it does turn out well then I'm set

So this is what I got: Any helpful comments would be greatly appreciated
-3 5 oz cans of Milano Red Duplicolor
-1 5 oz can of clear coat (may need one more?)
-2 sheets of finer grit wet/dry sandpaper

So once I got home I started wet sanding it, then I dried it off let it off and let it sit for like 10 min so it would fully dry. Then I dry sanded it and this is how it sits now:

So today I made A LOT of progress on the lip. Check it out:

First coat: Looks pink

Second coat: Starting to look better

Third coat: Coming along

Ran out of paint so I went and bought some more also got some 1500 grit sand paper for wet sanding.

Sprayed those 2 cans on and still needed more. So before I left to go buy more I popped the lip on to see how it matched up.

At the end of the night this is what I had: Total of 9 cans of paint, some dirty fine grit sand paper, and some nasty red tack cloth, oh ya and an ITR lip painted to match

Paint is complete, so tomorrow after school I'm going to wet sand, clear coat and polish

Total cost around $50 bucks, plus it was a fun learning experience I love doin stuff myself!

BUMP if you view

Wow that looks so close if not a perfect match to the milano red on the front bumper good work nice attention to detail i cant wait to see what it looks like with a thick clear on it

I like it...Nice do something about your engine bay.

Thanks and I am dying to get that thing cleaned up. YOU HAVE NO IDEA lol

So today I made some progress on the lip today. I ended up using 3 cans of clear, and it turned out pretty good IMO. I also took off the bumper for getting it all mounted up easily.

Take a look: The pictures don't do it justice

As for tomorrow I will be doing the wet sanding with 2000 grit to get it nice and smooth and buffing it to bring out that shine.

BUMP IT!

Yea a wet sand will make that biatch pop nice work a very cost effective yet quality job

So I wet sanded it and I think it needs some more clear coat but we'll see. I'll rock it for a while how it is. PLUS I'm gonna buff the shit out of it tomorrow after class we'll see how it looks after that.

So it went from this:

To this:

I think it needs more clear we'll see what happens after I buff it more tomorrow.

I don't what to do about center caps

WOOP WOOP
