    Alright, here's something...

    ...For those of you who've been asking. I got home early enough to shoot a few pics. I'll get some more this weekend, after I wash, wax, and claybar the car. And take that mothafukkin bike rack off the roof. (It won't come off, I have to call a locksmith or something).

    Here's a couple overall shots:










    I need to get that dealer badge off, any suggestions on how to do that without damaging the paint? Oh, and, Hell Yeah!


    The roof rack.


    More pics later this evening.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    Here's a few more:

    I love the wheels.


    The interior is IMMACULATE


    It has adjustable side supports, how cool is that?


    8000RPMs, baby!


    That's it till the weekend, folks.

    Hehe, should have seen that coming. It's not the GS-R badge I want to take off, it's the dealer badge that used car dealers always fucking want to stick on cars they sell. This one says "Euro Motorcars" it's circular, you can see it better on the full rear shot.

    I'm going to try Eagle1 Nano Wax or Zano.

    Re: Alright, here's something...

    It's a metal plate with foam backing... I guess that makes it a sticker?

    Re: Alright, here's something...

    just take a heat gun to it and use some fishing line to scrape it off (use it like dental floss and take it off) then i belive u can just use rubbing compound to get the rest of the foam off , but u should be able to get most of it off with the line

    That's awesome, thank you!
    I also found this: http://www.allpar.com/fix/decals.html

    It says about the same thing you said, but it goes into more detail. Just in case anyone needs the info for themselves.

    Really nice looking car.

    Those Acura Integras were REALLY popular back in the day. It's still a VERY nice car.

    Peace.

    Re: Alright, here's something...

    Go by any autobody supply store and get some plastic razor blades. Made specifically for removing adhesives from painted surfaces. Use some WD-40 and scrape away until it's all gone. Then just wax the area with the rest of the car.

    Nice looking car, I can see some similarities to my 3G Integra GS-R. I like your badge, mine just said DOHC VTEC, not GS-R like yours. After the body shop got done with repairing the ass end of my Teg after it was rear ended by a Jeep Grand Cherokee, they forgot the DOHC badge. I went and had them give me one, but never put it on the car. kinda like it that way, keeps the punks from racing me as much now and me having to whoop their ass and burn up my fuel lol.

    Re: Alright, here's something...

    Thanks for the compliments, guys! Yes it has been garage-kept. 88.5K on the odometer, thank you very much. Hopefully the rubber pads on that rack haven't messed up the paint. I'll be taking it to a locksmith or sawing it off this weekend, but it WILL be gone by saturday night.
    I'd been looking for a DB2 GS-R for a while, I was ready to drive up to 500 miles to get one, then this one popped up an hour away. Completely stock, and in better condition than any of the others.

    Of course I'm lazy. If I wanted to work on my car I'd have gotten a DSM

    I LOVE g2 tegs, especially those with B17's. One of the first things I would do to that would be to get the jdm 1-piece headlights. They definately make the car look better. Clean car bro.

    Damn right! B17 is (IMO) the best underated motor that Honda ever put out.
    I would pay alot to have one of those in my hatch.
    Looks incredible, sooo clean.
    Take great care of her, if not........

    I'll hunt you down and kill you.

    Some glamour shots for y'all. These were taken by my semiprofessional photographer friend using his Canon digital SLR. Before, the pics were taken, I took off the roof rack, (Finally) then washed, claybared and waxed the car.

    Too many for one post, so here are the rest. If anyone likes these, I have full-size ones that I use as desktop wallpaper, if someone wants copies.
