Exterior
Instead of making a thread on a message forum asking complete strangers what color he should paint his car, Alex put in his own work. Searching the local car dealerships resulted in him falling for a minty green hue that he'd prefer to keep to himself. An SiR wing and headlights, HOP window visors, Spoon mirrors and Vision smoked corner lights add a few subtle changes. The Mugen EG6 front lip is a natural, perched nicely under the front bumper. Every piece of plastic and rubber molding was replaced with OEM goodness to complete the makeover.
Interior
A Mugen S1 bucket seat, shift knob and pedals share duties with the Nardi steering wheel on the driver's side of the cabin. In sharp contrast, the passengers ride in style thanks to the Integra Type-R passenger and rear seats, and custom black tweed and red stitched door panel inserts. To separate the two sides, an SiR center console was added.
I.c.e.
Big systems mean big weight and there's no place for additional weight in this hatch. If Alex ever grows tired of the sweet melodies produced by the big block jukebox, an Alpine CDE-9881 deck powering a set of Pioneer door speakers is within reach.
