Default Just thought I'd introduce myself

Been on HT for a while now, and have lived in GDD and the 92-00 Civic forum (that is now changing). Just got home from picking up an 06 RSX Type S. Have a few mods lined up (Eibach Pro Kit, and intake), other than that, it will remain mostly stock. Here are two shots and I will update once I get my springs and the weather cooperates.

Nice! Pretty clean ride! I love the 05+ body style. Congrats on the new car and happy moding. Bet you love driving it already!

Is that pin stripe just a graphic?

The pinstripe is actual paint; I was really surprised. The car is amazing. Stock suspension is fantastic, the gear ratios give me an instant boner, and the responsive steering is quite a surprise.

The car makes me feel a little old though. For the last 13 years I've been driving, never had my own car be something this nice. First car was a 65 VW bug, next car was a 91 civic LX with B18C5 swap (had that from 98-2001), next was my 97 EX, and now this. I mean, I bought the Mrs a brand new Pathfinder in 03, but this car is a nice change.

haha I have an RSX and a pathfinder... pathfinder is just my winter beater. Older 93 model.

Yeah compared to an older civic the RSX is a giant step.

Are you sure it's painted on there? Seems weird they would've painted a pinstripe(Just because it would be more pricey)...but if it's not, that would be my first mod. Getting and eraser wheel and removing it...Other than that, nice car.
