^ I think your car is one of the cleanest on the forum. There are WAY TOO MANY CARS on here that look HOOD. When i say HOOD, I mean like they look like they are from the hood because of how low they are. Theres a line between (cut springs 91 integra) and (clean) and your car is by far one of the cleanest. Sometimes I feel like this forum is full of a bunch of ricers that finally got real jobs to afford a decent car. Between the lambo doors, air cylinders and ebay led lights, it blows my mind that so many people on here devalue such a nice car. Again your car looks awesome, I'd love to know the wheel/tire/offset specs if you dont mind posting them up.

^^acutally i was thinking about taking off the visors, but the visors gives that little detail with the finishing look. Plus with the raining season right now the visors are a PLUS cause im able to leave gaps so Air can circular inside the car and not be stuffy.

It's just a matter of personal preference, but visors look so tacked-on with such a perfectly aero and sleek IS body. And the factory defogger system utilizing AC is far more effective during the rainy season, as short as it is in CA.

btw - I hope to see your car in person soon, one of my favorites. Was your car on display in Japantown San Jose this year?

there are many members in this forum who are LOW, but most of them do not use the ghetto way to drop their ride (i.e. cutting their springs..)
in case you don't know, using coilovers or air suspension to drop the car is not from the HOOD..
and please don't come here and assume that people "finally got real jobs to afford a decent car "

lol that's jsut his opinion, just as it's going to be on any other forum, people are going to have different opinions on what looks good and what doesn't. it just so happens that a majority of the people on this forum like the IS relatively low. he doesn't. it honestly doesn't matter what people think about your car as long as you love it. btw phil's car is fcking sick, wish i could see it in person
