Default OK, I woke up this morning, and this was waiting for me out side. (RSX)

I don't this Appearance / Cosmetic it's that great, so I will have to work on that a bit to get it to look like I want it to. Well, check out the pic.

I don't know if you can tell from the pic, but it has like a sandwich of CF on the hood, it's fiberglass/CF/fiberglass??? But it is pretty light.


The wheels really have to go


So does the chicken mesh. Other than that, I really don't mind the front bumper that much.


But then you get to the back, pretty much it all has to go


Not a big fan of the side skits either, it's dropped on the ProKit, but I think GC's will be best. And it still has stock shocks.
Also, I can't stand that vent/duct thing on the fenders



And just to ***** it up, my POS


Ya, what do you thing, any suggestions or comments?

Does not look bad at all. A few changes here and there and it will be fine. Anyone notice the drivers seat? Looks diff. to me

Saad. How about that trade ?

i like the kit, and I say with new tails, a bit more drop, and some 18"/19" wheels it will be NICE! But that is my opinion!

The whole kit, the mesh, the wheels, the hoodpins (if you can, guessing there are holes now), the tails, the RSX sticker and the suspension STRAIGHT OUT the window with the fenders following in a blaze of fire...

After that it would be a pretty badass little car with an OEM Bodykit!

For the wheels, 17 inch Volks TE-37s or SSR Comps would be fuggin BAD. Even if you got knockoffs... I say don't go larger than 17 inch unless you want your car to look like a roller skate. 18s... possibly.

I still don't understand why people get rid of stock tails for stuff like that.

It has potential, but the rims and a couple other things gotta go first. I'm sure you already know.

So how'd you get the car again?

Leave the car alone, I don't see what the big deal is about the euro tails... I wouldn't spend money to replace the OEM tails which I think look good in the first place, but they don't look completely stupid with the euros.. Also what is wrong with the body kit? I dont like the fenders but the rest is alrite.

honestly, the reasone I don't like the kit all that much, is because my vision of an RSX is much sleeker, this kit makes is look like a wide heavy beast IMO. But I don't know, I might not even keep the car.

exactly. Take off the tails, wheels and whatever else you don't like and sell it. You can atleast make some $ off of somebody and then get what you like. NEVER refuse something free
