I figured since my engine puts out over 400 WHP now, I can safely throw some rice on the car. It's real CF by the way :o

I plan on getting a CF Evo-style hood and fuel door to accent my emblem :lol: I love CF on orange.

Comments?

Or is it :shock:

I really wanted to try something different (old emblem was color-matched) - I kind of like the contrast and it matches my black front grille. I plan to keep the look going and see how it turns out.

I work on my engine too much after all, I figure I'd do something to the rest of the car.

Thanks, I was hoping it would turn out well. I think the CF hood will look SICK with the black grille. I need some 02-03 headlights, too. I'm keeping this beast USDM for now.

if your leaving the front at least completely stock i would say go with the oem cf hood it flows better i think with the stock body then the evo hood, if you put a lip or decide to go jdm or whatever then the evo would flow very nice

i like the diamond in cf its not ricey looks good although im not a huge fan personally of the cf fuel door i like to leave the cf for the hood/trunk and maybee a few small accents to keep it clean....on a side note cant wait to see what this thing does when your finally done with the engine build

I'm kind of set on the Evo CF hood for the cooling vents (yes, they'd actually be functional for me between runs on track days).

I might borrow boostzealot's CF fuel door and see how it looks (once he gets his ride fixed). It might look good; it looks good on his car.

Freakin' engine. This particular build has been done twice now. :evil:

Sweet! It was a hard decision to go with the black-on-black badge, let me tell ya. I'm getting rid of all the chrome on my car, so I figured I'd start there. Polished aluminum and gloss black only.

CF badge looks off da chain.

my recommendation:
CF Hood
CF Integra Lip
CF the JDM side skirts
CF the JDM rear lip.
Pwr Fold Mirrors.
JDM black Housing heads
JDM VR4 Grill Color matched
JDM Aspire Tails.

maybe gunmetal rims.

Then finish!
Happy mods. :D

Ill take some pics in a couple days when its done. Do the CF trunks that you guys have use the USDM size trunk garnish, or is it the longer JDM one.

Everybody seems to like it, so it can stay. It's going to be another week before I get this thing rolling out of my garage again. The more time my car is down, the bigger my plans get.

Right now I'm contemplating some stage 2 RPW turbo cams (262/252) on top of the RIPP SDS @ 21 PSI for now and later a custom Garrett GT4088R turbo setup running about the same amount of boost. That also means I can have a greater Carbon-Fiber-to-not-Carbon-Fiber ratio.

Love the sound of those plans. Hardest part will probably be fabricating the exhaust manifold which I doubt will be too much of a challenge for you. :wink:

What do you all think about the following:

- Carbon fiber B pillar covers
- Replacing under-window chrome trim with black DE trim (already removed the top stuff
- Work Emotion CR Kai wheels in gun metal (current ones are Enkei ZR-1 in Hyperblack with a polished lip)
- 3rd gen tails

I think it'll finish the look I want for the side profile of my car. On the front, I just want the 02-03 heads with an evo-style Seibon/VIS CF hood.

CF fuel doors are gay. You ought to take off the bottum chrome window trim and paint it black or replace it with the black DE model trim. It will looks so much better even though its a small peice. Nobody ever does it(except me) but this should be done on every 8g.

i meant I like the look of the 99-01 tails, but yea on your car I think they blend a little too much with the color

but I like how the 99-01 tails are a little more box-y and edgy than the 2nd gen tails, which IMO don't really match the lines and angles of the car
