Default Just picked her up!

Just picked up my 2006 RSX on Sunday. It is a base w/leather. Automatic (don't hate this is a DD to save money, plus I actually like auto). It is black w/ black interior. It was a one owner car w/ 12K original miles! All maintenance done at the dealership w/ dealer sigs in the booklet. It is like new! I am so happy with it! I picked it up for $14k.

The only things I want to do to it are get an OEM rear spoiler wing, OEM fog lights and I need to get an armrest of some sort. It feels weird w/o it. Does Acura have an OEM one?

Like paz mentioned ClubRsx got the armrest or you can get it here for a bit cheaper: http://www.hondacuraworld.com/Mercha...gory_Code=ARSX

The foglight I would just get the ebay ones...looks just as good, easier to install, and the glass is less likely to crack like OEM. Don't forget it's like 1/5 the price of OEM.

Congrats on the purchase.

congrats on the RSX.

I would have picked up an Auto as well if the price was right. The automatics in the RSX's are far better than the integras, and far more reliable than the preludes. Plus theyre a 5 speed Auto, so its a nice tradeoff.

Nice grab, I'm sure you'll enjoy it!

Thanks for all the comments guys! Yeah a few years ago I had an auto integra and that thing shifted HARD. This is SUPER smooth and seems to be pretty "smart" when going up hills. The nice thing is if you want a more "sporty" feel you can always select gears too. I am actually very impressed with the auto tranny in it!

Looks sweet! It's just begging for a few inch drop though. Like someone else said, go with Ebay fogs but be sure to get some factory installation instructions (I found download on Handaaccessories.com). You'll need them to supplement poor, if any, Ebay instructions. Again congrats!
