1996 Acura Integra RS Sport Coupe

More pictures are below

SOLD!

I finally sold it! It was replaced with this car, a 1998 Acura Integra GS-R. A much, much better car. Still, if you're curious what a '96 RS looks like, scroll ahead. Expect this page to be replaced soon with one for my GS-R (and my plans for it).

Options:
From before I got the car:
· 6-disc Acura CD Changer (in the trunk)
· Moon roof (with more convenient headliner control instead of behind the wheel on the dash)
· 14" Acura Alloy Wheels
· Acura Hands Free Integrated Phone (in dash)

That I've Added:
· Acura Floor Mats
· Type-R style rear spoiler

    Without any further ado, here are the pics. I apologize for the crappy quality of the (old) thumbnails: Microsoft Photo Editor isn't exactly the greatest picture editor. The specs are down below.

New!

(My tripod is broken, so the pics don't line up perfectly. Sorry.)

 Photoshop was used to make the thumbnails, so they look great! I recommend any version of it,
even Photoshop Elements, to anyone doing any work with photographs on a computer.
By the way, I cropped the thumbnails a little different than the big ones, so that's why there's some differences.

Taken by Brian Bisetti... from his roof, two and a half stories off the street! And that's Shasta Lake, the site of all the follow pics
The very, very rare Acura dash-integrated, hands-free phone
And then there's this extra little piece hidden in the arm rest...

Hidden in the
arm-rest...

 ...in case you didn't want to just listen to the phone through the stereo!

What a difference lighting makes! If you take a look at the last two photos, you'll notice how
much glossier and darker my paint looks, yet some of the features get washed
out in the extra light. Let this be a lesson: soft lighting (like on an overcast day) is
the best lighting for taking pictures of a dark car!

This angle's here more for compairson with the stock photo below than anything else
This is probably my favorite picture so far Great comparison pic of spoiler & non-spoiler below... though the spoiler does look a little goofy because my garage is open and makes it look really thick

What's the difference between this picture and the next one? Well... my car's dirty... and the registration was still in the window... that's about it
Note the complete lack of some stupid-ass stereo... though I do have my CD changer

This page was designed to be viewed at 1024x768 and with IE set to "Smaller" Text Size (I'd recommend it anyway). It'll probably look terrible on 800x600.
