haha.. was waiting on someone to comment on the parking. I actually did that on purpose... and did that EVERY day after i got my wheels stolen... luckily this van NEVER moved from this spot in my apartment parking lot for over a year... so i used to park as close as i could to it.. so if some asshole tried stealing my wheels again... it wouldnt be so easy...

As far as slamming it... im not sure... thie is my DD... and i already have to take it easy on almost any bump or dip... and my own driveway... that ive been really depating if it would be in my best interest...

I was thinking of getting some Tein S-tech or H-Tech springs with tax money maybe...

If you got rid of that 4-1 header you wouldn't have such a hard time driving the car. The car looked good before the ITR badges and fake Spoon shift knob. Sucks to hear about the wheels being stolen. But it looks much better with the Rota Boosts.

Whats wrong with ITR badges and a "fake" spoon shift knob?

You really think they make the car look bad... or are you that big of a heckler that it causes you dismay to see someone using parts that arent "REAL"? Who cares if they are knock offs... its badges and a shift knob.... i wouldnt pay more than $15.00 for either.... but yes i agree about the header... it certainly hangs a bit lower than id like.

The shift knob looks amazing...(but anything looks better than the stock knob).. as well as the badges.... considering the OEM badges were nearly falling off... and broken... i like these much better.

It has nothing to do with parts being from another country. I don't understand why that subject gets brought up constantly. I really have no problem with replica products on the whole. But to label both a part and the car itself something that it clearly isn't is kind of silly. Like the shift knob. It's obviously not made by Spoon Sports not to mention it looks nothing any product they've ever made, so why is there a Spoon sticker on it? Don't build the car into something that it clearly isn't. See what I mean?

That's just my opinion. Build the car how you like and enjoy it. Just don't expect everyone to appreciate the modifications. Remember that you get what you pay for. And trust me, you'll wish you had spent a few extra bucks on the real Spoon Duracon shift knob once winter comes around and your shift knob is an ice cube.

I appreciate your opinion. I just get so annoyed at those people who call out anyone who buys things that arent "real" or "jdm" ... because it makes SUCH A BIG DIFFERENCE.... they paid $3,757,234.00.... for all the minor little things to their car that wont get them anything when they re-sell the car... or for me..I paid $65 for NUMEROUS little eye catchers....and things that make the car my own... and seperates me from the next guy with a white integra. Ill take the latter every time~ But trust me.. if i could put all QUALITY parts on... and name brand things as simple as a shift knob on... i would. unfortunately my 2yr old rug rat sucks up my budget pretty quickly~ :)

As far as the emblems... i simply liked the red filled emblems much more than factory... and the knob itself... i was just looking for something similar in style... and it just so happened to be a spoon knock off.... which i didnt care either way what brand it was... just wanted something different than my ball... and the factory knob...

I am a family man who cant afford many things to make my car "look" cool... so i have to find things like these that IMO do a lot for the car... for a fraction of the cost. I just do what i like~ Versus whats "acceptable" or "liked" by others.

Thanks for the reply~
