Most likely you have eucalyptus green pearl (or something similar); paint code: G83P.


Phantom3JT, your's is definately eucalyptus green pearl because I had the same color. 96' GSR 2dr beige leather interior.


Dark green would look tight with some bronze rims and a cf hood. I have a pic with a dark green 4dr integra with a cf hood and black rims. Can someone host the pic for me? Give me your e-mail and I'll send it your way. *I don't know who's car it is but I hope they don't mind. It's for a good cause.

my main concern with the cf hood was it wouldn't look good on the dark green...i thought it was called polo green or somethign.....but i don t'know.....but do you think u could send me that pic of the 4dr integra with a cf hood...that'd be sweet...my email is chrxs097@hotmail.com

i dont have a pic, but i have seen a CF hood on a green teg and it looked tight. IMO it doesn't matter what color you have, CF looks tight

Yeah if you think about it, a carbon fiber hood is also a performance mod. A stock hood weighs about 40 or so lbs. A CF hood weighs 18. Thats a 20+ lb weight reduction. Weight reduction is always overlooked though. Approx. 450 lbs equals one second off the quarter mile. So getting the CF hood would not only look tizight but would also get you on your way to a 12 second car Also, the spoiler thing. I will never understand why drivers of front wheel drive cars mount monster wings on their cars. The air pushes the car down on its rear wheels which than relieves pressure off its front wheels. On a FF car, it is just dumb to do that. Unless you WANT less traction of course...

...does anyone know of some good deals on cf hoods....i wanted to get the Benen Ind. hood that only weighs 9lbs but that also cost $700...but they claim that it is carbon fiber all the way through...every other one i've read about says that its like 2 layer cf and 1 layer fiberglass....does that mean that there's still a difference in weight??? because i'd much rather get one of those hoods because they only cost around $500 or so.....i don't know someone help me
