Mattel’s 2003 Hot Tunerz catalog lists the 2001 Acura Integra under two toy numbers, B1654 and B1655. Four documented finishes use those numbers. Match the toy number with the body graphics, taillights and wheels to identify the correct version.
About the 2001 Acura Integra casting
“2001 Acura Integra” is Mattel’s model name for this Hot Tunerz casting. In the 2003 Hot Wheels catalog, B1654 identifies Acura Integra and B1655 identifies Acura Integra #2. Each toy number has two documented finishes, for four color and graphic combinations in this guide.
The Hot Tunerz release appears in the 1:55 Scale Models catalog group. The toy numbers distinguish its four documented color and graphic combinations: B1654 in Signal Yellow and orange, and B1655 in hot pink and white.
How to identify each version
Check the code first when the base or original card is available. Then compare the paint, sponsor graphics and wheel face. The two B1654 cars both have copper six-spoke wheels; the stripe design separates yellow from orange. The B1655 versions share chrome five-spoke wheels and a dark circular side fade; their taillights distinguish hot pink from white.

Physical details collectors compare
Compare both sides, roof, hood markings, lamps, glazing, interior, wheel faces and base. Record chips, missing decals, axle wear and replaced parts as condition details rather than factory variants.
Packaging and condition
The original card can confirm B1654 or B1655 when a loose example is difficult to identify. Check that the car and blister still belong to that card. For a loose car, photograph the base and both sides as well as the front and rear before comparing it with a catalog entry.

Value Research
Compare the exact code, colorway, wheel style, side graphics and packaging. The B1654 and B1655 codes each identify two finishes, so the code alone does not establish a match. Condition, completeness and package state should be recorded separately.
Use completed sales for the same color and release context when estimating a current value. This guide does not assign an unsupported price range.
