"only small number of White Acura RSX's in the United States had the Black Interior Available"

lol. I wouldn't buy anything from your friend since he is obviously trying to pull a fast-one on an unsuspecting buyer.

"This vehicle comes fully loaded with all optional extras including the factory A-Spec Package, Fog Lights, Amber Side Markers, and Tinted Windows."

Really? Since when were Amber side markers and tinted windows optional?

i am not sure if it is dealer specific but you can get your windows tinted in PA from the dealer as an additional option when you buy a car, my buddy did it on his 06 si!! as for amber side markers, doubtful!

a-spec package without the a-spec wing too

The paint is custom.

The paint is faded!

It's custom faded. It's your first car, you wouldn't understand.

buy a white rsx and swap all of the interior pieces or B buy a rsx with black interior and paint it white.

or you can simply move to canada and buy an RSX-S there. certain years came with white exterior and black interior. It might have been just the 05-06's though. I am not 100% sure though.

i dont know, some people just **** me off because it seems they like to bash people that cant defend themselves, and yeah mine was all aspec but no wing and no dash kit because i was afraid it would peal or tarnish like a lot of dash kits do.

Yeah, you could get any piece of the A-spec kit that you wanted. That wasn't what I was questioning.

The ad is shady because your buddy is making it seem like the car came stock with black interior, which isn't the case unless he bought it in Canada.

Basically, your buddy is trying to pull a fast one. He needs to state that the interior has been completely swapped out. And with that said, there is no way I'd pay $12K for a car that's been modded that much.

i understand that, i know he bought another car and had it switched out, but i do know dealers around me have been known to switch out interiors to get cars sold, and ive striped down many interiors in rsx's its about a days work to switch them out and fit perfect. there really isnt anything that makes the factory install special since half the time im pullin dashes to find stock rattles anyways. switching an interior isnt that big of a deal. it just mkaes the car look more badass in this case.

A mod that extreme needs to be disclosed, PERIOD. Also, it needs to state that the sidemarkers are not factory nor is the tinit. I don't care who did it...it isn't a factory or Acura OEM option. Again, it's a shady ad.

And I don't know of a single dealer around me that would strip down a $25K car and swap the interior around with another. Even if they did, I wouldn't want it as it's a major mod and it will hurt resale.

As for being more badass...I think the titanium interior fits well with the white. I wouldn't trade.

NOT entirely true at all, some people half *** their work on their car to make a quick buck.
NOT all aftermarket parts are better then OEM. Think about the quality, brand, installment, and IMO body kits are considered aftermarket and I know for a fact that they are WORSE then OEM, well majority with some exceptions. Euro tailights that fade, heavy spoilers with no use, useless vents, the list goes on and on.

Your grandma is a very smart lady then. You should be very proud, you should visit her.

Are you serious with that post? Taking out every piece of the interior isn't an extreme mod? Gimme a break.

Tinted windows is not a completely swapped interior and you know it. Apples and Oranges.

As for your screwed up comment about aftermarket being better than Honda OEM--it is just that--screwed up. Very few aftermarket parts are better than the OEM Honda part they replace unless you spend some cash on quality.

Seriously, you really have no idea what you are talking about.
