Nice spot! daaaamn. I dont know about the hatch....not sure how well they line up.
CF = teh sects.... personally i love the whole carbon hood and trunk thing...

I guess the question is...to Panda or not to Panda.
yeah i'm more weight conscious but i agree that the whole top CF would be hot. just don't follow trend and do it down the body lines too. don't get me wrong thats how and all but everyone who likes it is doing it now....something really cool i've seen is IDK if you have a sun roof or not but take it out and make a CF panel... saves a few pounds i believe.
exactly...between the motor, slides, glass, and additional support you can save alot of weight by removing the sunroof and i don't like the pillars being painted on integras...leave that for eclipses and nsx'sOriginally Posted by Prince NISMO

yeah thats what i'm sayin, the car will look great i'm sure. how much does the hatch save? and also thought about FAL glass?
The hatch doesn't save all that much, does a little...plus it removes the wiper & motor, etc...but the real weight savings is in the $450.00 lexan window. Just a guess, but if anyone has ever lifted a DC2 hatch without the supports you'll know how heavy the stock setup is...just a guess but around 60-75lbs total.Originally Posted by Prince NISMO
I haven't seen an exact weight on the FAL hatch glass but from what i have found the average weight savings is about 60-70%...so i'm guessing the cf hatch and FAL combo weighs about 25lbs at most. Also saw where someone took the sunroof from a salvaged car, pulled the glass from the surround, and replaced it with lexan to save 9lbs (glass was 11 and lexan 2).
doesnt lexan scratch reaaal easy?
yep...but there's a few things available to help prevent it...you can also take metal polish cream and a buffer to clean it up.Originally Posted by 5thgcelica
hrmm, 5 minute chop...dunno if i like the roof changed...
it doesnt look that good i say just trunk and hood is fine ..
NY STAY HIGH !!!
looks good thats what i had in mind for my rex, what does it look like when you make the front lip black as well?
If i do anything to the spoiler it'll be white vinyl....i can do an acid etch on the aluminum and paint it but it may still flake off if it gets flexed at all...i don't really like the aluminum color on white and the grill needs to be painted or cut out or something...Originally Posted by TallGuy
mo' photochoppage...
i boredid...
yellow headlights = yes
trunk = yes
roof = no

just wondering...you put agreed 5x quoting JM and he said go with CF...then you said you like it the way it is....who knows i may paint the cf trunk to match the car...depends on if i like the way it looks or not. Whatever i do i gotta do it soon...i'm sooo sick of seeing all the holes on mine.Originally Posted by XterraChic
you know i have the perfect solution to this... just give me your car and you can have mine, and you'll never have to worry about seeing any holes again![]()

oh myjm... lol baby pandas..
i just dont like that look.. maybe if his car wasnt white.. but like i said thats IMO!!
and what is that aluminium thing? is that the splitter? cuz i like the way it looks.. dont paint that ish yo...
lol mini teg lol baby panda same thing lol.... and yeah panda rocks! and i call it a splitter but i heard jason calls it the air destroyer... who knows tho.
lol air destroyer??
omg i was at the wal-mart last night and i saw this FUGLY ricer integra.. lol might have been a gsr.. omg i was about to puke. lol it was white with a black hood and some ugly ass graphics just on just the hood.. lol stupid body kit and some other gay ish.. lol at first i though it was jason.. lol til i got up close.. sorry!!
I think the skunk 2 stage 2's are very similiar to the toda spec b's...but for way less than half the price. I'm sure it's a high quaility part, they've been making cams for b-series longer than anyone else but unless i found an unbelievable deal i'd go with something else...Jun's put out a little more power but cost just as much or more. ($1k+ for cam shaft's only)Originally Posted by Prince NISMO
I know where some stage 2 skunks are and i've seen over 200whp using them so will prolly go that direction...plus they're cheap. i'm working on an engine build list now using whatever parts i can get the best deals on. Prolly go with CTR pistons and port the head myself but i really really wanna knife blade the crank...prolly won't be happy until it rev's like a bike![]()
