    Here's my ride i finally got is up on cardomain. Keep in mind im a newbie who works at a pizza joint and i dont make much money.
    My Mods:
    Lowered (Dropzone coilovers, Kyb gr-2 struts)
    Exhaust (Magnaflow)
    Intake (Custom) (Euro Sport Tuning and Repair there the best in Oregon!)
    Pacesetter Short Shifter
    LED Waher Lights.

    Soon to come:
    Window Tint (Darkside) ( Best in Oregon again)
    88 Integra front bumper.
    Paint my interior peices (Black)
    New Carpet (Black)
    90 Integra Seats.
    Glow Guages.
    But it all take money!!
    I am fully open to advice from you veterans. O yeah and sorry abot the post for the bumper lense bulbs! Im a jackass!

    Darkside is definitely a great place to get tint done. Ty (owner) is a badass and has all kinds of cool projects.

    Are you from Eugene? I have probably seen your car rolling around. Looks nice! keep up the good work.

    what kind of magnaflow exhaust do you have?

    looks decent. GR2 + Dropzone doesn't really appeal in ride quality to me though..

    I'm going to be mean. No to LED washer nozzles. Also why 90 integra seats? I don't really like the look of them too much nor do the bolsters justify the work to weld the new brackets.

    I wouldn't go to darkside, original glass tinter has been in biz for 25 years compared to darksides less then 1 year. I guess you can do what you want though its your car. But you want sombody that knows what there doing when thay do that back glass. Thay did my car and it looks great. Your car looks good but how does it ride? Little bouncy?

    anyway good work,

    ya for oregon

    The other thing to consider is that most places (at least here) have a lifetime warranty on installation. If the tint place has only been around for a year, who can say whether they will be around if something goes wrong w/ your tint (bubbling, etc.)? I got my car tinted at the oldest tinting shop in the 808. I know they will be around to honor their warranty. Plus, the cops know they only sell legal tint, so the sticker on my tint will help me if I ever get pulled over (won't happen because I am legal, here the fine is $287 for illegal tint).

    Peace.

    Wow. clean and sexy sedan. If you are looking for seats, try to find some Se-i leather seats. Everyone who rides in my car is like "Damn, these are comfy," not like rock hard civic seats.

    I like your drop. it looks good. but you might want to save up for some stronger struts.
    Perfection is simply a matter of replacing parts.
