“Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow, Black and Yellow”

The unmistakable lyrics to Wiz Khalifa’s single is what comes to mind when Reggie’s car is spotted around town. Aside from it’s color motif, it’s unique stance definitely grabs the attention of anyone who notices it, as does it’s roaring Buddy Club Spec 2 exhaust.

Inspired by Dal Law’s Integra Type-R, Reggie had his mind set on building one for himself. To set this project apart from the other Integras in Calgary, Reggie built this car with “form over function” in mind.

Before “Form Over Function” however, Reggie also took this vehicle to Race City track days to get a better feel for the car and to see how it performed on the track. With a fine list of suspension mods, there is no second thoughts on how well the vehicle conquered the track.

Reggie’s attention to detail cannot go unnoticed as well. With simple things like the Integra Type-R front end conversion and Phoenix Yellow paint job, shaved door moldings, Status seats with Takata harnesses, and a Honda S2000 push button start retrofit, there’s no doubting Reggie’s pursuit for one crazy Integra.

With “Black & Yellow” being the theme of Reggie’s car, don’t be surprised if you hear that track playing in his whip at a stop light. And just like Wiz says, “No Keys, Push To Start!” Uh huh, you know what it is!
