Re: Cement grey 01 ITR build
Some updates.....
Through a Facebook forums page, I found what might just be the original badge to my car! Dude was nice enough to ship it out to me. I decided to give the armrest some much needed TLC and re badge it properly.
Before
After a clean with woolite
Bought a new blank badge to have all new casing and plastic cover.

With no sharpie touch up
With sharpie touch up
Also installed a set of JDM carbon faux Window switches. Decided to retain the passenger lock and auto down function with the US switch so some mods took place.
Opened up the slot with a Dremel
Enlarged the left side button window in order to keep auto roll down
Elongated hole on USDM switch
Lastly got some clear markers with plug and play harness

Re: Cement grey 01 ITR build
I've had some progress over the past few weeks as I am getting the car ready to be dropped off for Paint. Initially I was gonna leave the Paint untouched but I was not a fan of the paint quality so it'll be getting a full repaint.
Few more pieces in
stainless braided lines
Power steering loop with reservoir
TSR Bolt on Battery relocater
CJ'z Wiring K swap plug and play conversion Harness
I pulled off all the suspension components and sent some off to powder coat
picked up the subframe today
Pulled the Dashboard off to get the interior ready for paint.
And got rid of some sound deadoning
How it currently sits... Made some stands for the car to roll around the shop
Also, I finally pulled the trigger on a GT wing so I'll post it up soon as I get it in!
and In case anyone is interested I have a set of Gab Sports wheels in good shape for sale 15x7 +25 / 15x7.5 +35 5x114

Re: Cement grey 01 ITR build
Major props to taking on this challenge. A rebuild/restoration is challenging, mentally and financially draining, but quite the learning experience. Best wishes and as part needs arise, post up and we can collectively keep an eye out.

Re: Cement grey 01 ITR build
It had been about 7 years since my last full build, I really missed the late nights wrenching at the shop haha. They definitely could be a pain at times, I have my hands full with this one for sure.

Re: Cement grey 01 ITR build
Picked up a used FD2 type R OEM car cover hoping it would fit decently and to my surprise It fit the Integra pretty well! Will be needing this after the car is out from paint as my shop gets super dusty

Re: Cement grey 01 ITR build
Thanks! It definitely grew on me. Wasn't sure about it at first, but I'll be sticking with the color
