    Looking badass man! I'm lovin the hydros and shaving. I didn't know there were some guys into hooking up there cars besides audio wise on here. What are your future plans for it? Maybe a kit? I know they make projector headlights for you car now, but I bet the price tag isn't pretty. Keep up the great work!

    Right now I am making new upper strut mounts for the cylinders, but once I finish I am gonna start the stereo install. Besides all the equipment I listed in the link, I am also installing a monitor in the dash, and 1 monitor in each visor. Once the stereo is complete, I am gonna get a body kit, then get the car painted. I have not found a kit I like so far, but www.kaminari.com is suppose to have their kit out in a few weeks. Their civic and celica kit is the best looking kit IMO, so I am hoping their kit for the RSX looks as good. Once I get a kit, my car will lay on the ground:D I am then gonna get my windows re-tinted with that light mirror tint like the lexus SUV's, and get my rims powder coated a gun metal. I am hoping to get sponsored for a set of 19's for car shows. That will pretty much finish the exterior, so then I will start workin under the hood.

    You'll see it in mags soon enough;)

    Hmmmm.......I forgot where I saw them, but it was either in a Sport Compact mag or a website. All I know is I am 100% sure I saw them for the RSX. I think they had a pretty heft price tag on em of about $700 though. At least taht is better then true HID projector headlights for my friends 02 WRX which have a price tag of $1200! Your plans sound badass! Exactly what I would do to tell ya the truth. I love bagged or hydroed cars layin a sweet kit on 19s. I am currently looking for a 19/20 combo cause my 18s are looking small to me now. Kaminari does make pretty nice kits, no idea how they fit though. That doesn't matter if ya plan on molding it in though. All I know is Wings West makes some of the worst fitting kits, but VIS and Eurubini seem to make some of the best in my experiences. That light mirror tint will look great with the color of your car. have any thoughts about a tail light conversion or different color? Then you will REALLY be in some mags. Well, ride low and keep us (or me at least) updated on it's progress.

    Kaminari kits fit real good and are made out of polyurethane. They are the best kit/quality I have seen so far. Once you receive it, it is ready to be painted, no sanding or body work needed like with most fiberglass kits, and Kaminari kits come with a life time warranty. For the taillights, I am still trying to think up some ideas. Aftermarket only make the altezza lenses, but I don't like that look. I did red out the orange turn signal, so now the taillights are completely red except for the clear back-up lense. I was gonna have the gas tank nozzle relocated behind the drivers taillight so that I could shave the gas door, but the way my taillights are, it wasn't possible to hinge it:(

    You got any pics of your ride? I just sold my 91 S-10 to fix up the RSX-S. It was bagged, body dropped, shaved, tuckin' 18's. I was getting ready to do some inforcing in the front so I could cut out more of the fender to tuck 20's on all 4 corners, but didn't have the time and money to fix up both rides.

    I wan't to hurry up and get my kit so I can get everything painted, and finish my stereo install. I will then pretty much have enough to get in a mag. They can't expect much under the hood, since there isn't a big aftermarket yet.

    The life time warrenty for the Kaminari kits is nice. I didn't know they offered that. VIS and Eurebuni kits don't require much if any modification to make them fit as far as I have seen. The worse kits as far as fiting seem to be Wings West and Andy's Autosport. I haven't seen the Kaminari kit for your car do you have any pics of it? The one thing about Urethane is the 2 Urethane front bumpers I have seen have not fit at all. Your not going to fix that by molding it to the car either. I would stay away from Urethane, but you might not have any problems. Have you seen Aerotrends Octane kit for your car? I think it is pretty tight.

    Don't worry about your tail lights cause I like how the stock tail lights look and at least yours aren't factory looking. That sucks that you can't relocate your gas filler behind your tail lights. Maybe if ya mold in some different ones like some Skyline tail lights you can.

    Nothing really special about my truck right now. I am trying to go with a tuner theme with it because I love the import/sport compact scene and I want to be different. I got a lot of compliments from sport compact guys at last years NOPI Nationals, but minitruckers tend to not like it because generally most don't like "ricers" for some reason. Your truck sounded pretty sweet.


    I bet you will get in a mag soon enough especially since I don't think there are a lot of RSXs hooked up. Good luck man!
