I have some big plans for this car.. it will undergo some major changes including full cage w/ widebody as well as some killer brakes. To be honest, we are preparing this car for time-attack/track purposes. So to keep the cost down, the RS was more sensible (bought it for $25xxx).

We also have a regular 03 GSR and 05 MR owned by two other partners. I will post pix of their cars later

Looks nice, but it looks like you have some positive camber going on in the back. Maybe it's just the picture.

Those wheels are hawt!

Love the RS,... Keep posting pics as progress comes. I'll be sporting a CF lip on mine soon too. I'll post pics of my RS after my coilovers go on.

As far as the "Why would you buy an RS and then upgrade it... Why not just buy a GSR?"

I think owning an RS is a personality thing. I had an 04 GSR but lusted for the RS. So finally I bought one. Mine won't be a track *****,... but I'm not planning on making it any more pedestrian than it came from the factory. Not installing a radio any time soon.

A radio wont hurt. I gotta Panasonic cd/mp3 player for 150 bux and 4 Dual speakers for around 50 bux (cheapest speakers I could find in best buy). Installed it all myself, a nice lil mod. The sound quality is alright for low speed driving. I don't listen to it all the time but it's always there if I need it.

Car looks great Cal. Makes me want to take the wing off my car once I get my wheels on and get rolling. I'm just hoping it will roll.
