my favorite kit is the top secret kit, bit I can't find their site anymore. if someone knows it, please post the link. I'd like to see it again also.

Are C-West kits fiberglass or urethane?

In my opinion C-West. Its clean, tight, and doesn;t have little spoilers all over the place. I Dislike the mugen / veilside kits (and the likes) because they do not compliment the shape, the change it (re: veilsides massive 'snout' on their kit - YUCK - mugens isn't as big but its not nice either).

However, I will never get a GT-Wing :/

The factory kit is just fine. You guys there in the US don't get it aye? Or is it optional???






Looks nice stock. Just needs a bit of lowering and some 17" Buddy Club rims

the Type-R kit enhances the look of the RSX ALOT!

I'm pretty sure you can import the kit here and put em on.

i would say find a good deal on the OEM kit, i do like the Jdm TypeR kit better just because the front and rear lip are more smoothe than the us kit, but the US kit is no doubt easier to obtain...

We dont have the RSX Type R here (Australia) either. What we do have is the
RSX-S with the RSX-R interior and kit that has been rebadged as the new Integra Type R. We dont get the good engine we dont get the Brembos etc etc I am not bagging the Australian RSX-R at all it is a great car but its not the "REAL" Type R which is why I went for a low milage DC2.

DC5: Man if you do decide to get Buddy Club Wheels I will buy your stockers as I need a setof track wheels for my DC2 - cheers

Nope never owned a dc2r only a Nissan 200SX S15 but traded that in for DC5R. My brother has a DC2R though. The number plates are not custom or anything, just came with the car.
