Clean teg, nice to see another white dc with the itr wing. I'd lose the rear visor, or the wing, just a lot going on in the rear. The wing looks better without the visor imo.

Watch for oil leaks, take a look at your cam seal, that's a notorious place for them to start. But yeah, other than that pretty much just like any other car as far things that break down. Give it enough time and miles, and anything wears down.

I use Blue Magic, and am really pleased with the results. The first brand I tried, but worked well enough and never had any issues :)

Look at my build thread to see more pics of what your teg would look like without the visor :) link in my sig.

Not sure how the kits work. I saw online that you can use toothpaste and a lot of elbow grease to clean them up. It worked surprisingly well on my extremely foggy headlights. Give it a shot, for $2 and a few minutes of your time.

I'll give it a try

Nice, as far as the maintenance thing only tip I could give is make sure the valve adjustment is within spec. It should be done regularly and that's the only downfall that I see when people own these cars for a long time. Most mechanic shops in my area fail to recommend that due to most of the newer vehicles not requiring it anymore. It will help a lot with gas mileage and also with your powerband.

I was extremely surprised myself when I did it. I thought it was going to do a little, but figured for $2 I'd give it a shot. Worked well, the only thing I had to do after was blast the headlights with a hose for a few minutes to get the toothpaste out of the crevices. Cool little trick though, glad it worked for you.

Real nice looking GSR as well. I'm really loving the white integras now, looks real clean.
