well i just bought a type s about a week ago so congrats i just ordered comptech springs and getting it tinted this week. If i were you i would just lower it tint the windows get the oem body kit and enjoy it stock for a while you will notice the gains from aftermarket parts more when you've driven it stock for a while just my 2 cents

Well you can go with spoon rims 16's of coarse, or you can go the less expensive way and get Rota slipstreams 16 inch. Either rim should look good on your car.

Are those the Spoon Progressives for the DC5R? If so I think they cost too much...those are the springs w/ F: 7.2 kg/mm R 8.4 kg/mm right??

quality is very very good. i was looking into their carbon fiber hoods and they're like $1200-1400. so damn overpriced. i doubt the difference between a $500 carbon fiber hood and their's is not worth the $700-900.

im planning on getting an RSX soon, what is all this talk of mishifting? are mainly refering to when you race your car, or are the rsxs becoming known for being easy to f-ck up if you mishift? just curious?

XenonDepot.com is where i got my h1 5000k hid kit. it's got a slight blue tint to it.

contact Steve at XenonDepot and see if he is still doing a groupbuy on that kit for $465.

here is a link to the thread on clubrsx where the groupby was started by steve:

no problem... xenondepot's service is great. they don't charge till it's shipped and they had to wait on their shipment to come in to ship mine out so he bumped my shippin to overnight. steve is a great guy.
