I forget the TSX is on the 2nd gen now. I meant to compare the teg to the 1st gen.The TSX had the beginnings of what the next gen Integra Sedan SHOULD have been. All they needed to do was beef up the suspension a little bit keep the motor a DOHC. The iVTEC just wasn't enough IMHO.

Finally installed the OEM Raybrig fog lights on the Integra w/PIAA Plasma Ion Yellow bulbs. Gotta wait till the evening to see just how yellow they are, but so far they don't appear to be that yellow which I'm disappointed about.
Also put on some Lamin-X Clear Overlays to protect them. I worked with Lamin-X to get them to precut a set of overlays for me since they weren't selling them before. After testing out some sizes they now carry precut overlays for the OEM fogs.

One of the things that I also worked on during the install of the fogs was the removal of an Alpine CD Player that was installed under the passenger seat. When I purchased the car a few years ago, this CD changer along with a Pioneer amp were installed under the front two seats by the previous owner. Since I had to take apart the center console it was the perfect time to remove the CD changer. I tried removing the amp, but couldn't get at the power cables that needed to be removed along with the speaker wire. 
The issue I have now is that the idiot installers screwed the devices right into the floor so when I removed the CD changer, and the same probably goes for the amp, it left holes going right through the floor. I can see the ground from inside the car.
I need to come up with something I can use to plug up the holes. I thought about using a soldering gun with some solder since the holes are small enough. Do you guys have any other ideas of what I can do to fill up these holes?

Don't know about the rubber plugs because I'd be worried they'd fall out after some time.
Caulk would require recaulking from time to time. I'm hoping to find something that is more permanent. One option I guess is to take it to a muffler shop and have them weld the holes shut.

vwong, the punk that he is, joked that I should clean my hi-beams.
The high beems look yellow because of the reflection off the yellow bulbs I placed in the hi-beam housing to replace the stock white bulbs. I recently cleaned and polished the lo and hi-beam housings because they began to get hazy again. Like I mentioned to vwong, gotta admit they don't look that bad for a 13 year old car.

Yup, the motor is stock. Will just need to figure out how to capture video while I'm accelerating. I've got an iPhone so the only issue is how to mount the camera.

DBEight = Aston Martin DB8, which is the first thing I thought of when I saw the plate.
I didn't associate DB8 with the Integra sedan body designation.

Looking great Sly! And I second the painted side skirts. I have them :wink: Loving your Raybrig OEM fog lamps! I currently have some nice PIAA lights but I will one day get the Raybrigs as well.
I just recieved an ebay Type R front lip replica off ebay (http://www.ebay.com/itm/250951559856...#ht_3008wt_941 But I sold it the next day on craigslist. I decided to chance it (for the second time) on a replica lip but the fitment is
I'm gonna bite the bullet and either find a OEM lip or get the Wings West Replica (best replica) now.
I'll get some updated pictures of my GSR soon (I have new 17'' wheels - PIAA in light silver) , although I found a couple...

) know this gen Integra as DC2, but failed to recognize that the sedan has a different chassis code.And to all, please stop posting pictures of your DB8's. They make me want to find one as a project car, which I have no time and money for now. Also, make me miss mine dearly!!!!
