Well guys Happy New Year and this brings me to my first WIP. I am dodging time between moving to work on something!!!! This is the Revell Integra Type R kit with a SAS (Scale Auto Style) Resin Conversion kit.
I am thinking about spooning the car with gloss black rims, but also adding a SAS rear CF wing which is not commonly found on Spoon integras I believe.
The paint is VERDE ITHACA PEARL from Cobra Colors. I ordered this from Leon for my Murcielago I won off ebay. Leon got the paint here real quick and I was dying to try it out and get familiar with the application process and I figured this would be a great test mule. PICTURES DO NOT DO THIS PAINT JUSTICE!!! Hats off to leon for a spectacular product ORDER PAINT FROM him if you have not already... even if you dont do a Lambo, this paint is great for tuners as well!!!! The dragon in the pic is a decal I made from the testors decal kit you can get at wally world..... Hence the name Spoon dragon.... What do you guys think?? Black wheels or chrome??? The hood is painted gunmetal ready for CF decal and clear......give your opinions please.....

Good start, looks great.
Mike :smile:

looking good so far, not feeling the dragon though

Looks Cool. I'd go with some Gunmetal center and chrome lip. I believe your side skirts are the wrong way :screwy:

I personally like the skirts this way....

I think the dragon makes it, after all it is a Japanese import.

hey ive seen those decals somewheres you got the testors decal maker! :) lookin great man!

Exactly!!! My sister in law bought me the kit for Christmas, I saw that and the Verde Ithaca paint with that thing slamed on the side was a must do!!!

Nice Color, I agree, gunmetal center, chrome lip.

I'm not a Honda guy per se, but I'm actually liking the color choice AND the dragon decal...seems like something you might actually see...

I agree on the gunmetal centers (or maybe CF decal?) with polished lips!

Neat idea and thanks for showing it to us,

Bill

That color looks awesome!! Great paint job!!

Good start, looks nice. :)

chiwaka!!! nice project

Nice car, I like that colour very much.

WOW Thats pretty dam nice cant wait for more updates.

Thanks guys.. here is more progress..... I decided to go totally black on the rims, added the dragons, and various sponshorship decals. I also added the CF to the hood followed by several coats of urethane clear.

I dig the black rims, very cool looking car, I too got that decal set, and now i'll have to wait to do the dragon lol

WOW!! I'll follow this one. Even if it was just because of the color. And because it's a Honda. And because I know it's gonna be as awesome as your Skyline!! (I would go for the chrome rims)

Update tonight, I added a SAS GT wing. I chose the short pedestals, Painted them Semi flat black along with the wing ends.... Hats off to Chris from SAS, this is one hell of a kit. The wing itself was covered in CF and buried in clear!!!!! This car is definitely taking on the NFSU2 look.... I like ricers what can I say????

Nice! The CF hood is perfect. Black wheels match it well.

if you like ricers lemmie have that sweet r34 ;)

your teg looks hot, and nothing agains SAS, but i think the blitz kit doesnt flow well with any integra, my friend has the real deal gsr, and i dislike the blitz front.

also, mad props on the side skirts, they look different, and thats tight how you flipped them.

about how much USD shipped did that SAS Kit run you?

if you like ricers lemmie have that sweet r34 ;)

Sorry Man!!!! its already sold!!

The blitz kit from SAS ran me about 20.00 USD with shipping.... Highly reccomended.

Dave

wow, great work, this is coming along very nicely

looks great man, the wing fits it well, did you only use one piece of carbon to cover the whole hood?

Thank you... Yes only one piece of CF was used.

Lookin real nice!

Looking real neat. Not into the whole look period but the model is awesome. So, when are you going to build a "official" Spoon Sports Integra. With some black SW-388's :cool:


With all the Negative camber like the one in your sig??

That Teg is simply awesome! And I just can't believe U made the hood CF decal out of one piece! I have that same bodykit and the scoop is quite high. When I made a CF hood on my 300ZX (has an Evo VI scoop on it) I had to make it a two piece set - and still isn't goodlooking. What CF decal did U use?

Great work!!.. i just used another color for wheels..
.. hood is perfect.. and the color fits very well!!


Cris

I'm lovin' it!!!:sunglasse Your build quality is consistently awesome on your kits!! Keep up the great work! :grinyes: I like the black wheels myself!

Nice work Dave! The finish looks great. Looking forward to seeing it completed.

:nono: I think you took it the wrong way. No need to come up like that with me, if you would've followed my thread you would've known why the car sits like that (Also it's not a Spoon Integra). I was just trying to bring a good feeling towards building an Integra. Or were you trying to be funny? :( :thumbsdow

Back on subject: I think your Integra Type R sticker by the door is sitting a bit low. Just noticed that.


:crying: Did I hit a nerve?? Sorry I am not the "spoon" expert like yourself.... :grinno:

Nice work Dave! The finish looks great. Looking forward to seeing it completed.


Thanks Leon.... the paint speaks for itself!!!

I love it! The black rims look awesome again!

I love it! The black rims look awesome again!


Thanks Rob

New update on this one tonight. I scratch built a big Auto meter Tach and shift light to round out the Tuner look. As you can see the interior is going to be Black with Lime green center inserts. I plan on adding racing belts to both fronts seats and flocking for carpet soon.

looks good dude! i love the tacometer you have built! have you printed the decal al by your self?

Yes I did right off an auto meter web site. Sized it and printed on white decal paper..... Thanks!!!

Dave

awesome! somehow looking at your integra reminds me of the SEMA show... :smokin:

As much as i hate the Honda/Acura scene this car is looking really good. very good custom work, original. nice color scheme through out. keep it up!

Great job on this one !! that tach is sweet!

This Acura is one of the best I've seen to date!!:sunglasse

Gotta say, even though i don't like the dragon everything else is perfect, love the tuner look you gave it, one question, the tach is made out of aluminum rods? Also are the numbers and needle a decal?

Thanks guys!!

Midmazar... the dragon was really an experiment that went wild!! :screwy:

The tach is made out of thick plastic tubing filled in each end with Tamiya epoxy putty, sanded smooth. The shift light is simply smaller solid plastic tubing. The ring around the tach itself is .010 plastic strip. The gauge face is from the Auto meter gauge site. I simply printed it out after sizing it on white decal film. Then several coats if future were applied. IT aint the greatest but it will do.. I was worried the damn thing was too big to clear the windshield! :evillol: The entire assembly was sprayed with tamiya silver leaf, the finest paint to represent aluminum around IMO.

DaveT

the tach looks great man .... not my style but it looks good so far ... only think ... wheres spoon coming into play?

ive missed this one, looks awesome, really clean with lots of style :sunglasse

Engine is next!!

DaveT

Nice details on the interior! Awesome! Keep it coming!

Well I think the engine came out the way I wanted.. Needs a strut bar and Radiator assembly and the engine is done!! I added clamps to the induction air pipe, plug wires,CF to the valve cover painted clear blue and various details... I think it blends with the car nicely :) Also added heat staining to the chrome painted exhaust.

awesome detail, where did you attach the seatbelts?

wow, that engine and bay is so cool, i love the valve cover, unique!

Great engine details. The AEM air intake pipe and filter look awesome!
I really like your style!!!

Gorgeous paint - hope the build goes well!

Thank you!!!!
I am really enjoying this car, if I had felt ambitious I would have put a turbo in it, but decided not too.....

Damn! that looks awesome. I espesially like the
engine detail. I was'nt sure how that paint would
look with the dragon decals at first, but I love it!

This is the best looking integra what I have never seen!!! I say one thing but led lights under the body or in interior then it will be cool! :naughty:

nice work. i always used to be into civics and integras with body kits but after i got an integra in real life, i love the sleeper/stock look. but ur making the body kit work. gl

That's one great engine bay. Great piece of art.

i would kill for that engine, just amazing! :eek:
