Funny Thing Today

So I'm walking back from my car (parked in lot at college) and I notice this integra. I've seen it before but never really paid any attention to it. Thought it was some girls or something. No biggie right, quite the contrary. It turns out that the thing was hooked up, but couldn't really tell. The only noticeable thing was the Injen liscense plate frame. This car has Acura aluminum wheels and the exhaust is actually aftermarket but it looks stock. The owner cut the original exhaust so it would still look original. Really nicely done. The car is a genuine type R, but doesn't have the badge. I got totally taken for a ride. He's even added header, intake, and a slew of other things to it. It was sweet and you couldn't even tell anything was special about it. A real sleeper and it was even that factory green color you see old ladies driving around in. He said that after graduation he hopes to put in a turbo or supercharger, hasn't decided yet. Just thought this was a little bit funny and entertaining.
