So my girlfriend Julie has a 1995 Acura Integra. And it Used to look like this.....

Yes, it needed paint. The picture does not show just how PINK this red car used to be.

The problem was Julie did not want to pay for a complete color change so she had to decide on a red. She is not a huge fan of red. She got the book from the paint shop showing all the OEM colors available. I grabbed it from her and flipped from the Acura section straight to the Mazda section.

Yup, I talked her into painting the car Copper Red Metallic. :D: She could not pick a red she liked so I showed her pics of the color and she liked it. The car came out great! It looks much better!

Sweet, now just slap some GSR blades on her and it will look great. You could probably get a set of GSR rims for $200.00.

Look how sexy that Winning Blue 8 looks. It's all, hey, look at me -- you don't even know what I am. I must be some sort of exotic piece of tail from overseas. That's right -- look how much better I look than all these cars around me.

Big difference, Get some type R or GSR rims. and you are done .

scsi
06-28-2007, 12:54 AM
^ i disagree. rims will be nice, but i think it also needs a subtle drop, maybe just an eibach prokit.

so anyway, again the color is very nice :)

i thought that yours were known as GSR mesh, 15x6, and were available on 97-01 GSR's and LS's
http://www.autoguide.net/apf/images/products/keystone/zob28326f.jpg

and these are LS mesh, 14x5.5, only available on the 98 LS
http://www.autoguide.net/apf/images/products/keystone/zob28316f.jpg

can you clarify for me?

I think you should have gone in a slightly different direction. :evil_laug

Good thing about paint ... you can always re-paint.

they came on both, mine came off a bone stock LS. At first I always called them GSR meshies till I went to the honda forums and everyone calls them LS meshies. Whatever, I love them though!
