Hey thanks everyone. I think, no wait I KNOW, I made the right decision since I got such a good deal on it. I don't have a lot in plan for it yet but I do plan on doing some nice wheels and about a 1inch drop and that's about it for the beginning.
There will be performance mods on this, unlike the lancer.
Thanks again
Keep the comments coming

hey sup man.. you made a really nice switch right there lol.
the 02-04 lip kits will not fit the 05-06 except for the side skirts. and also, suspension parts are not interchangeable between 02-04 models and the 05+ models.
the new 05+ rsx type-s' use k20z1 engines.. no more k20a2. it uses pretty much all type-r parts except for the ITR ecu tune. it has the type-r final drive, type-r intake manifold, type-r exhaust, etc.. as for the new 05+ bases, im not sure if you guys still have the k20a3 or if they renamed it the k20z3, but it still has the same power output as previous bases. its just that your vtec engages at 2200rpm's and is not really noticeable when it kicks in.. the type-s vtec engages at 5800rpm's and you feel a significant pull at the vtec crossover. there's a lot more i could go into detail with, but like i said, feel free to hit me up on aim anytime. i'll give you the best places to buy parts from and whatnot.
*EDIT:
here's a few pics of my car taken by eric tong..

and some new pics of my new lip and spoiler with my stockies on..

Hey happy to hear about the trade to an RSX, I would do the same if i had the money I'm Still paying my Lancer off. But I do wish you would of had a small parts sell before you did
. anyway good luck with the new car and post pics just because you have an RSX doesn't mean the pic war is over. Plus it give me something to look at when I board.

Yea, I wish I could of had a part out before but it was kind of a spur of the moment thing so I didn't have a chance. I'll continue to post pics but it sucks because it's just a stock RSX
not a lot of mods to drool over yet
