You Need This: Highlighter yellow, Japanese-market Integra Type R

Tired of losing your car in the parking lot? Prefer to reverse your way through the drive-through? You’ll love this Honda Integra.

In addition to being fitted with JDM goodies like a Juran Racing Seat, Jasma headers and wheels from an R32 GT-R, the Integra also features a full roll cage, an aftermarket catback exhaust and a Momo steering wheel.

The listing also notes–in all caps, mind you–that the car has been repainted from white to its current dayglow shade, and that the rear seats and interior have been removed.

Yes, I am tired of losing my car in a parking lot. Highlighter colors might be my solution. 🤔 I wonder if Sharpie-scented air fresheners are a thing.

Once upon a time we had a bright yellow Focus. It was replaced by a gray Mazda. Our kid spent a few days walking towards random cars in the parking lot before it registered that all cars are the same color, lol.

And that Integra is cool 😎

I do need that, but I'd be eternally worried that it would get lost in a parking lot for other reasons.

I wonder if selling off all the JDM mods would cover the price of an unmodified dashboard...

In reply to Pete. (l33t FS) :

There's a reason I don't own old Hondas anymore. Not so much by choice, but fear of it disappearing.

Are they still getting stolen that badly?

We got the VIN etched into the glass on my wife’s 2000 Civic Si because it was at/near the top of the most-stolen list.

A lot of type R owners warned me about theft when I was looking at one a couple of years ago. I was surprised too.

Here is a USDM Phoenix yellow, salvage from theft but many, many new parts for 20k:

I've owned a couple yellow cars, for whatever reason they seem to attract bugs.

I'm not feeling that blue steering wheel, but a little dye could fix that.

The yellow would help you find it in the ditch it ends up in.

I suppose theft rate has changed, but I doubt it.

I'm still nervous about mine. Both my usdm track dc2 and my JDM ITR. Kinda sucks, the ITR is such a nice weekend car but I'm paranoid every time I leave it alone.
