i took those pics 
here's the thread to the pics.
anyway, i think he's got some extras along w/ the rarity of the paint job & low miles, which is why he's asking so high. when i was selling my prelude, i asked higher than blue book (and got it) because of all the parts i had on it & the near perfect condition it was in.

Looks like the seats and carpets were replaced along with a paint job.
People that look for a used 02-03 with red interiors want the ALL red.
No under the hood pics, but I do see an HKS exhaust.
The cars appears to be clean otherwise. Dremel those side vents or paint them black.
Personally I don't get the hype about one-of-a-kind as everything on it is easily reproduced. A quart of PPG paint is $60 and it will do the whole car. Powdercoating wheels takes 5 days and there are tons of stock wheels people don't want.
Goodluck to the seller, but he will need more than luck to get upwards of $22K. I appreciated the pics more today, I guess it grew on me. Tastefully done

...but only a fool would pay that much for his car...
you can't blame the guy for selling a car for +$$$. If someone gets taken, then so be it, it's not his fault the buyer didn't do the research.
I'm sure he knows the value of his car is inflated. If it wasn't, it would have sold already
if he's like me, he's posting up his ride on craigslist waiting for that one sucker kid who's loaded parents sent him to the USA to he can go to college and whatnot and sees a car that he likes and says ohhhh I must have that and buys whatever without caring about $$$. I know a few kids from Taiwan like that

Paint the body and wheels championship white, and you call it a Type R? huh? what is he smoking?
he's not referring to the motor or anything! He's referring to the paint job being chapionship white is used for the Type R Integra... c'mon guys, give him a break... if he can get more for his car, then best of luck to him!
so many haters on this board...
