This is my 1994 Acura Integra GS-R. I bought it about 4 1/2 years ago. It has 58,000 miles on it. The color is Milano Red and most of the paint is the original Honda Paint from 1994. I`ve detailed this car in the past, but never posted it on Autopia. I just got done doing the exterior. I spend about three hours on it on Thursday, from 1:00pm to 1:00am on Friday and 10:00am to 3:00am on Saturday. There were breaks in there, but I`m slow and thorough. The engine bay was detailed last fall and I took the pictures then. The Wheel wells and underbody was detailed last summer and the pictures are from then.
I used to drive this car everyday in the winter and everything. I then bought a beater vehicle and quit driving it in the winter and when it rains. I now have a company vehicle that I drive to and from work everyday. My Integra became a pleasure vehicle that doesn`t sit outside very much anymore. I do autocross it however.
Here are the pictures of my car. Please enjoy. Please leave comments or suggestions.
