…yellow…
The interior is coordinated around yellow, with a MOMO steering wheel and Sparco seats—both hand-me-downs.
You can do this much even with a DIY build!
The twin exhaust pipes are custom one-offs, made by the owner. The taillights have also been changed to round twin lamps.
Everything except the paint is homemade on this Integra…
The audio system that dominates the rear seats uses secondhand parts; in fact, this build makes extensive use of used, hand-me-down, and sponsored items. Even so, the finish is exceptionally neat and tasteful. Its exterior highlight is a one-off blister fender, carefully designed to blend naturally with the aero parts.

The seats are reclining semi-bucket seats upholstered in leather to match the yellow exterior. The audio installation is also excellent!
