What's your least favorite physical part of your ITR?

My vote goes to the 4-spoke steering wheel. I got a JDM 3-spoke airbag wheel in now, and it looks and feels awesome.

yea after switching the wheels I agree that stock unit is horriable....

Ummmmm, Im thinking and i cant think of a single thing on my own that i really hate about my R.

Actually, I HATE the stock speakers! I cant hear them when Im rolling at like 40mph

I really don't hate anything about the R either, but I wish the stock wheels were like 17s or something instead... look kinda small to me, but still cool.

They have already been mentioned. The wheel and the speakers.

Seats should have been the same as JDM recaro's.

One thing I didn't like about the R was the long antenna.

The grey colored headliner. I think it should have been darker because it offsets the rest of the black interior

Whoa... who's is that?

sunroofs suck anyway

i dunno, there isn't anything about mine i dislike

except maybe having no little bits of string to hold the parcel shelf up for you instead of flipping it over, forgetting and then shutting the hatch down...

Ahh, so it's where Pimp My Ride installs the speakers

Hatch cover works for me.

Oh and cruise control would have been nice...

I think USDM lacks factory HID unlike JDM

Bbasso · Post by **Bbasso** » October 1st, 2007, 2:43 pm

Yes! that is a good one, but good HID kits can be had for cheap and easy to install.
And the stock housing is not that bad for HID lights...

gprotein · Post by **gprotein** » October 1st, 2007, 2:56 pm

My second choice will be between the pop-up antenna and the clock in the middle of the dash.

Dave_B · Post by **Dave_B** » October 1st, 2007, 2:59 pm

Antenna FOR SURE!!! I HATE that thing. Never even thought about that one!!!

Post by **Jan Niemi** » October 1st, 2007, 3:16 pm

a few things..

1.) lack of matching trim on the passenger side vent...why go fake carbon fiber on everything except the passenger vent? I hate that
2.) crappy stereo...just weak
3.) Don't like the ABS, never did.
4.) lack of a hatch release lever. If the battery is dead..or disconnected..guess what..can't open the hatch

This is a misconception that is quickly being realized by the majority of those with a desire for better lighting.

The projector makes 100% of the differnce with regard to HIDs being effective. The projectors found in the stock usdm integra headlights were made for a halogen based bulb, not HID bulbs.

OEM HID equipment (projectors) made by Stanley found in the S2K, TSX and TL are excellent choices for and HID retrofit. TSX are the best bang for the buck, but S2K are superior in terms of length and width of the light dispersement. The TL's are bi-xenon and superior to TSX, but reflect a similar dispersment as the S2K. Obviously with the TL being a bi-xenon its far more expensive than the S2K as well.

Plug and play HID kits will give you the appearance of an HID set-up minus the flicker from the cut-off shield, however they DO NOT increase the amount of light being dispersed from your headlights. Instead they simply display the exact same amount in a different color/kelvin rating.

You will recieve brighter light, but in terms of dispersement you are gaining absolutely nothing. Hope this was informative and helpful to anyone interested.
