Default Hi! Picked up an RSX-S

Hey guys just thought I would pop in here and say what's up. I just picked up a 2006 BOM RSX-S. As you can see I've been on H-T for a very long time (since I was like 14) and have had many different Hondas. But I decided to step it up a bit and got an 06 Type S with 24,000 miles.

I must say I really really love this car and feels much better than any B series I've been in. I'm happy to be a part of the K Series family now and the RSX-S community. Well just wanted to let you know and I'll be lurking around this forum instead of the 92-00 civic forum from now on

These are the only pics I have currently just to show you. I'm sure you all were wondering what a stock S looks like :









Old and new:





Well that's it for now see you around these parts.

Now that's the BOM(B). And yes, I'm sure there are others there that haven't seen an RSX in stock form before.

Ahhh, I HATE those...

My girlfriend's CRX sun roof was literally blown off while cruising highway speeds. The in-the-roof style is going to last a lot longer because wind isn't really allowed to force it off track; it's sturdier.

I dunno...I really like how it looks though! I don't really cruise with it open at high speeds much anyhow. I like mine! To each his own though, of course.
