Gawd, my RSX was the hawtness. I bought it a couple months after it came out and man was I pimpin' it up the ladies!

It was black/black w/ a full bodykit, Greedy exhaust, 20% tinted all around, gunmetal rims. I sex myself everytime I looked at it Good times.

1990 Celica ST-->1994 Integra LS-->1997 Prelude SH-->2006 TL-->2008 IS350.
IS350 by FAR blows the previous cars away. but i do miss the Integra and Prelude SH. both were manual. integra had a bomex bodykit,ground controls,greddy evo2 exhaust and header.....Prelude had oem lip kit and was lowered on H&R springs.....Celica ST was a trooper tho, i had it with 254K miles on it, reverse gear blew on the tranny.......man those were the days.....haha....

Andoy, i had the same kit (except in black)! Then I converted it back to stock bodykit, it was much cleaner. lol Not to mention it attracted less unwanted attention from cops.

Came from an 04 A4. Audi relly knows how to do it. Mine was modded up and eas fun to drive. Just missed a manual, whichis how I got there. I do miss the styling, quattro, and interior.

I may be back one day, but for now I'm gonna enjoy the Lexus

fack!! tell me about it man... I used to rock a CF hood with the same setup but cops are always up my ***. This is the main reason as to why i got rid of it and got the lex instead... no regrets there.

I had a Honda for 10 years....it was a very good car (never gave me any problems). I dig the RSX, and if I couldn't have bought my IS, that Acura would have been my next choice.

They make 6 speed Manual transmission IS250 makes driving fun but I wish the is350 came in manual... I would be all over that lol , I came from a slammed 7th Gen accord coupe 6MT similar to a rsx but I get way more neck breaking in my IS

That's interesting, I had a 330ci before my is350 and I think IS350 is a step up in every possible category. I miss the manual tranny in the bimmer though but that's about it.

My last car was a 330i; The IS is a step down in handling, rear seat space, paint quality, interior fit, 'fun-factor' and front seat sport ergonomics, but a step up in comfort, gadgets, speed, reliability and interior finish. All things considered, I would say the IS was a step over for me.

I didn't really like my rsx type s. I mean it was fun in the freeway. I had cai, raceheader, exhaust and a tune. But it was boring for me. Maybe because I had the raceland coilovers? Lol but yeah is350s are so much better overall. It's just the gas mileage that's killing me
