just turn it back to stock unless you know exactly what you're going to do with it. an 05 conversion would be perfect for this situation.

ok price but what year is it and how much mileage did it have ... the car looks pretty beat up and your gonna be tearing the body apart ... kinda ricey look at the moment but i have faith that you can do the job right and make it into something YOU will like ... good luck with it ... she is a lovely one ...

They're just decals

Heat gun + razor blade + peelage = done

car will look 2 times better with just that

my vote 05 conversion

That's an ok price. The radiator looks bent. $500 for that and $1000 on all the exterior back to stock and it should turn out good. It would still be a good deal.
Am I retarded or does it look like it only have front lowering springs or something?

Dude i'm in same boat as you.. bought an 02 rsx-s and it has a faded CF hood (from VIS mind you), no front lip, sideskirts have these wings that look like you can put ski's on as a rack, short shifter (which i fu|&lt;in hate short shifters because they are worthless), a big metal ball on my shifter, had half portion of the center console with some silver lining decal crap (which i took off), had silver lining decal **** all over car (which i took off) and JDM fog lights (which didn't even work) BUT i tell you this, it came with Tein SS suspension, front and rear strut bar (which i can careless was in but whatever), AEM CAI (which i hate CAI'S) and motor is strong as hell. Just slapped my K-pro in it and man does it get up on it's ***.

Now i got into another Car accident (it never seems to end with me) BUT it's not totalled and they are replacing the front all back to stock, New CF hood from VIS, SRI instead of the CAI that was in it and not putting those stupid non working JDM fog lights in. Took me a car accident to get my front fixed.. now i need to get in a sidekirt accident so i can get those replaced with stock ones. I'm going to change it to 05-06 body style tho. I love the newer rsx's look but i want the k20a2 not the k20z1.

Oh yeah i have a typeR wing that it looks decent but i'm not a typeR wing fan and really not feeling it but that will get changed once i go CF hatch but i have to deal with it for now. Got a good paying job so project is on the way already.
