White A Spec build

[mattk04]

Hey everyone! First time Acura owner, long time builder and decided on a whim last Saturday to pick up an Integra. Pretty much needed something with better mpg than my Jeep on 40s haha. I’m building this up myself and so far really enjoying it. Don’t hate on the CVT as my wife wants to drive it as well. I found this particular white on red A Spec sitting in the back of a lot with 7 miles on it. After a week as of today I’ve already done quite a bit! Enjoy the pics and build as I’m sure it will get crazy like all of my other builds.

first day!

a week later

I'm liking that pop of red behind the front emblem, and the shade of red is great as well! It's vinyl, I assume? If so, do you happen to know the brand and color name?

Did it require removing the front bumper, taking off the emblem, applying the vinyl underneath, reapplying the emblem, re-attaching the bumper?

Added some wheels spacers, and added the black front emblem. Still waiting on some more parts to arrive!

it’s red vinyl made from vivid, can be found on Amazon. No you don’t have to remove the emblem if you are even somewhat skilled in wrapping. Just take your time.

Looks great! What size spacers did you wind up going with both front and rear? Any modifications needed or just plug and play?

I went with 25mm, seems to sit just about perfect. Extremely simple install, 30-40 minutes to work my way around the car.

Nice! Thanks for the details man. I can’t wait to do this with mine and then drop it later on too.

no problem, I’m currently dropped on tein s techs and so far they ride just like stick. Stupid easy install as well, took me about 3 hours.

No not yet, it’s on my list but for the 4-5k miles I put on a car a year…I’m in no rush haha

Roger that!
Excited to see what else you wind up doing when the aftermarket comes through

 

[mattk04]

More stuff is on the way, a couple of “little” things that I have never seen anyone else do. But for now I added some rain visors and blacked out from emblem.

Decided to change up the wheel color and went with plastidip bronze good hyperdip. Really love this look!
