looks good. i like the rear diffuser.

any plans for lowering the car? or are you keeping it stock height? i assume winters arent easy in VT

Im not gonna drop it, I daily the car in the summer and alignment gets out of wack to often in Vermont with the bad roads everywhere. Next time around I will go to 35 and 30 tall tires and know im going a tad faster just for more sidewall... there are pot holes everywhere up here. My Xterra is sitting just out of view of the picture, it has no problems with snow...

mikefate

thats kinda what a figured. with the mods and stuff you have, i figured the roads were the reason the car was at stock height.

looks good nonetheless. looking forward to professional shots. '

how has the car held up with the sikky headers?

Sweet pics. Good decision to not drop it, it's definitely a bad idea in the Northeast. There are potholes everywhere here in NY as well from the crappy 2010-11 winter, not to mention construction also to patch them up.

I like your taste in cars, I have an Integra as well

Looks good! How is the noise with the headers/exhaust and race cats? Does it ever bother you, being a daily driver and all?

I think its perfect. There was a little drone around 2k before the cats but they got rid of that. I can talk on bluetooth with the windows down and hold a conversation in the car with anyone, but open it up and it screams. I would really like to hear the ISS forged exhaust with headers and cats cause I think it would sound more BA but I think it would still be to much for daily. Some people like it a little louder than most. For me it Sikky/Random Tech/Joe Z and don't look back, call JE Import performance they will make it happen fast and smooth.

Should I black out the grill? Opinions Please...

With the way your car is, I think a blacked out grille would look good. Great job overall on your ride. The rear diffuser is a nice touch!

I saw your headers/exhaust thread a while back, nicely done. Definitely looking into a similar setup and will keep JE Import in mind.

I think headers/cats/borla would be nice as well and a bit cheaper
