Phoniex Yellow Ls, wanna be type r.

[happyhead]

What if i paint my 97 ls coupe ... to Phoniex yellow and put a type r spoiler on.... would that be cool... since i'm gonna look like a type r.
tell me what cha think.

Still need a 5 lug cover. and lip kit. Them it would " LOOK " good.:sun:

[THE4TH]

i would much rather take the b18c5 and stick it in my ls.. .. i'd rather blow by a type r .. than look like one..
but yeah my ex girlfriend bought my old ls and painted it yellow..
it looked ok .. but it wasn't pheonix, and she didn't get any R parts.. but i bet it would look ok.. as long as ya put all the spoilers and lips on first and had it painted professionaly.. and i don't mean macco..

And get rid of your sunroof (*if you have one...*)

[THE4TH]

jay .. i would love to see him just "get rid of it"...
care to explain how one would do that..
i know you can get a filler for it but it would never be as stable as a fixed roof..

Beats me. I just know some LS's have them and no Type Rs do. I've caught-out fake Type Rs by the sunroof before.

Maybe he could just paint it yellow, too.

type r doesn't have sunroof? .... hmmm mine would be a special type r...

[happyhead]

you seen people doing the same thing i plan ? but with a sunroof?

[THE4TH]

yeah none of the R's have a sun roof.. it's compromises the frame integrity.. lol.. integrity in an integra.. gee i'm silly..
so hey jay.. do you mind if i come back up in march .. ??
me and one other person?

I saw a faux-type-r a while back. The paint was dead on for Championship White, but he had a sunroof and I think he still had the 4-lug hubs, too.

dude, where is the luxury in a type r..??? no moonroof common ...anyways i'm starting to think its not such a good idea now.:rolleyes :

[THE4TH]

they always forget the 4-5 lug..
and the sunroof ya can't really get away from ..
i've seen people who do the outside but not the inside.. so you can tell easy.. like they forget to change the gauges..

Type R wasn't made for luxury. I don't think it has a/c either.

no ac, no leather seats, no moonroof, none of that. its not meant to be a lil comfortable drive. its meant to be driven hard an to be on the twisties.

pretty easy to catch a fake type r...front lip, rear bumper, side skirts, wing, 5-lug, interior, orange lighting behind the dash, tail lights...bunch of different things.

what is the b18c5 engine? stats and what car it's in.

thanks
