u probably bought ur 05 at the end of the year. we bought our 06's right when they started shipping
i paid 22,900 before TTL, which came to 24,943.99 after everything. i thought it was a really good price because invoice is 21,700~ without destination which adds on another 650~ dollars. 600 above invoice a couple weeks after it started to ship is pretty good. my rsx is number 2755
22,500 would yield a 24,500 OTD price. he paid 25,400, which would be 23,400. for the 25,450 OTD price he got. it would be a GREAT price if that is interest added on there, but we shall wait till what he says.
the bulbs were not changed. they just look like that, but i assure you, they are not HID's and he did not change his bulbs, unless a gnome decided to magically change the bulbs out of my car. my bulbs look exactily like his and mine are oem bulbs.

Don't do anything right away. Drive it enough first to know what you want to change.

at 800 miles, i am still getting used to the steering ratio. i barely move the steering wheel and it turns a lot more than i want, which makes me uneasy when i am taking fast turns. i dont think the crappy tires help either.

i actually like the look of the oem wheels.
i might be getting a pair of cheap, ugly, lightweight wheels as my track wheels.

i feel the same way if the white came wit black interior i would have a white rsx instead of the ssm...the black interior is so much nicer.....i modded my rsx before i even finished the break in period...i got the h/i/e..within the first couple weeks of owning my car. i was scared the parts werent gonna fit because all i could find were parts for the 02-04. no problems yet its at 15,xxx rite now

I think you should drive it first. oh and maybe even break it in. Save some money there is a worthwhile idea.
I hate threads like this People are sooo impatient.

stop giving out false information. go read the manual that is given to you when you buy the car.

once again, they are NOT hid's. the OP stated that they are not HID's
to the OP, you stated your car has ~900 miles. the car is broken in, but learn to drive it before u go crazy.

You can add a DC5 ITR LSD for just a few hundred dollars, although the dealer will probably refuse to have anything to do with it.
If you keep your eyes open, you'll see them for sale on eBay every once in a while.
To be honest, though, most people looking for an LSD still have some learning to do before they'd have a real use for an LSD on the track, and the money might be better spent on the typical driver's first high performance driving school.
