Definitely looks like a 58.5" rear track rather than 57.9" to me... :D (I've given up, best guess is something tow hook or rear glass or muffler related.)

What's wrong....
New Jersey? :lol:

I'm getting rusty but '96 spec JDM pieces that look correct:
* Rear glass does not have a rear wiper
* Rear glass appear to be JDM
* Rear tails appear to be JDM
* Rear logo matches

What doesn't look correct:
* Exhaust tip, but potentially due to lighting (not chrome/etc.)

They restored the car in-house and used rear and side decals for a black ITR (TYPE04) instead of the TYPE03 for a white car. Notice how the colors are inverted on the "TYPE" and the "Integra" is silver instead of black. I pay way too much attention to this stuff. Maybe it's the hours I've spent on the EPC looking at things for the DB8. Huh.

There are a few things on this car that make me question the mileage (~60,000 miles). Look at the general condition of the accessories/plastics in the engine bay. Look at the steering wheel. Hood latch and engine bay hardware that was reused instead of replaced. Yes, the car looks nice and shiny but these little things really make me question the mileage.

For brief moment I considered sticker placement, but not that. That was fun.

The tow hook isn't perfectly centered. A little too far to the left. Is that normal?

Shouldn't there he a Honda badge on the top left corner of the hatch?

I was gonna say it's missing the LSD sticker on the rear window.
