RSX Part 1

So it took 2.5 years, but I finally started to mod the rsx ... i spent last Wed. through Fri. (June 11-13th) rush ordering and picking up parts to bring to the "Install" meet at Sticky's (Matt) house on the 14th.


I picked up some white OEM replica fogs ... and bought some Artic White Nokya light bulbs to replace the ones that come with them.


Ya, these were a pain to replace. I also bought some Polarg Amber light bulbs to replace the city lights ... cheap fix, looks great, imo.



Picked up CAI in black (couldn't get the CRSX edition one in time), and Ingalls rear camber kit. I also picked up some used Buddy Club N+ coilovers.


So, me (mysxyrsx), Rog, Henry (ntcustoms), Matt (sticky), Jon (pornstar), Eugene (unknown), Alex (majin), Phuong (bezerk), and Shaun (smk_dc5) all went to the install meet. Thanks to Matt for letting us use his place. Henry was "Installer of the Day" and even received a tank-top sunburn to remind him of his hard work! LOL. After the installs, I ended up with 3 negative cambers and 1 positive camber ... and my fogs arent fully wired yet, since Henry forgot ... HAHA.



So before the drop, there was a good 3 finger gap all around. The only thing i've had done is the tint and debadged in the rear, and a type-s emblem on the front grill. I got an alignment last Monday, and the drop is pretty nice now ... maybe a skinny finger gap in the front. Here is after (These pictures were taken pre-alignment) :


So thanks to everyone that helped. I'm pretty happy with the turnout. Next on the list include: exhaust, wheels and tires.
