[size=x-large]Bring out the "Tuner" in you
[/size]
I finally bought a car...a timless classic IMO...a stunning performer in it's day and still a force to be reckoned with once in the hands of a maniacal tuner
The 1990 Acura Integra LS was an atypical Integra in the 4 door sedan format. The 4 doors however, rather than detracting from the cosmetic bite...added an elegance to the underlying muscle.
I bought this car because of financial reasons...not because of any special attraction. The attraction came afterwards and my respect for it's abilities grew. For a 15 year old, sparingly used car to suddenly pick up it's bones and make a 10 hour sprint from NYC to Raleigh is no small feat. I drove this car back almost non-stop and it behaved impeccably.
Since then I have been using it and it has been rewarding me with it's reliability and performance. Despite it's wee 4 cylinder 120bhp powerplant, The 'teg can spring a surprise off the lights with it's stupendous accelleration.
I am a nice guy and to return the favor, I have decided to spend some money and bring this beauty back up to showroom standards and more...
Before I bore you all with my verbose comments, here is a chance for you to PIMP MY RIDE.
I have supplied the "Before" pic and one "After" pic that should just be a "reference" - doesnt mean that I like it or anything.
[size=medium]Your task is to come up with ideas and suggestions to enhance my car's performance and cosmetic appeal. If you provide "links" to parts that need to be purchased - that will be even better. [/size]
Interior customization is also welcome...

BUDGET - $3000.00[/size]

[size=medium]If you want further pictures, let me know and I will post whatever angle you want [/size]
