The more I see that white one, the less I like it :/

Note the terrible gap between the body and the kit
And that body kit overall looks cruddy, I hate those sideskirts, they look like two plastic logs just bolted onto the body, killing the smooth, flowing lines of the Integra's body...

Whoa, that pic is new. The rear bumper looks like sh!t. Doesn't fit and the paint doesn't match properly.

I must be the only one that really like the subtle body kit.

Huh? Blasphemy!

Like the color but it needs to be lowered.

That pic was taken maybe a week before the car was sold (out-of-state buyer who wanted additional pics), and long after it had been put back to stock. Mods were never extensive though, but it was gently lowered at one time, and I don't do body-kits of any kind, ever.
The color (I forget the name, Milano Red??) was the factory red for that year.
 
not all type-Rs had five lugs. one year of the type-r had four lugs. I think it was the 97, they were white rims.

Hmm..about the car. It is ok. Wheels are too big imo, especially when the stock brakes are behind em. Get a big brake kit if your gonna put on 17s. Hood is ok, though if it is a carbon fiber, that primer and paint added needless weight.

as someone mentioned, ther are gaps in the body panels line up. I don't like the clear rear bumper markers. I think an amber or orange would look better to match the front side markers. Maybe red to match the tails.

The sideskirts look wobbly and too fat. more trimmed and closer to the body would look better imo, and would tie in better with the almost boxy type look from the front bumper's mouth, as well as the square look of the headlights. He also needs to plug up the emblem holes in the rear trunk lid, or put a new emblem on.

Other than that, it is good looking for appearing to be show type of car.

edit😱h, i like this integra better. and the nsx right next to it. 😛
 
It's okay, i'd prefer the thing without the funky hood, front bumper, or spoiler. Stock with JDM frontend = SEXY.
 
or maybe a lil knowlege about the rest of the setup of the car. what "goodies" other than a weird body kit and an ugly hood?

The front air dam is anything but subtle, but the rest is subtle, I'll agree... but I still think those sideskirts absolutely go against the style of the Integra's body

Does anyone else find it odd that the description says it's a '97, but that it has '98-'01 taillights on it with no mention of that in the mod list?
Ah the dangers of over-modding your car... even you can't remember what year it is anymore... 😛
 
The oversized exhaust tip, hood, wheels, and spoiler make it a little ricey. If the wheels were the same, but chrome, it would look more classy. Don't like the two tone hood at all. Spoiler probably shouldn't be there, but could be worse. Exhaust tip just has to go... it serves absolutely no purpose and definately counts as rice.
 
The wing pushes it into the Ricer category IMO. Lose that and it would be okay. At least there aren't a bunch of lame stickers all over it.
