Im not to on the up and up on the RSX and seeing the new 05 really has my gears turning. Are the new kits the same as the JDm type R's? Pics for reference would be awesome!

I usually am not a fan of big wings. But for some reason the type R wing actually looks half decent on the RSX.

If by "aero kit" you are reffering to the front & rear spoiler & sideskirts. Then it is a faily common misconception, the front and rear "spoiler" are just an extension of the bumper.
That said, all the 05 RSX/Integra gets the same front and rear bumper and thus same "lip". Sideskirts are the same for the Integra & RSX Type S. The RSX base gets a lower profile sideskirts.
I was actualy bummed to see the Integra R comes with no additional lip, I was actualy looking forward to getting one. Guess i'll have to see if Mugen will release one. In all likelihood it will probably a whole bumper replacement :*(

Nope, they have both. The new bumper looks like the old one, but this is their lip kit:
There's also a USDM OEM optional lip kit that kicks *** in my opinion, stands out more than the Mugen one, but it's not over the top (crappy pic from my '05 brochure cos it's the only one I could find):
