Thanks! I just broke 1000 miles. I'm now a little over 1200 miles. That's coo because I also went from an automatic LX (03) to an 03 RSX Type S.

I like the OEM kit you have on your car. I'm thinking of getting the ITR lip kit. Oh, and by the way, I like your sig! lol.

Lots of people sport the regular oem kit because its looks really clean if you do a 2" drop. The whole kit should not cost more than 700 bucks from the dealer if you know someone that works in parts Also, it fits like a glove when it's installed. No huge gaps or paint matching to worry about.

Ak.. as for gas mileage, I get better gas mileage with my type s for some reason. I do a 50/50 split of highway and road driving but somehow its figuring out that way. Its been a habit for me to buy gas by the miles ive went and it averages out to about 300 miles to every 10 gallons. My civic was getting about 270 per 10 gallons. I took care of it and only had an injen cai with a 2" drop on tsw revos (All camber corrected and aligned of course). I think it may have to do with the transmission. That would be the only thing that would explain the better gas milage. I have lots of fun playing in ivtec with the type s but the automatic civic lx.. I HAD to floor it to go anywhere on the freeway Im sure that didnt help but it had no vtec so i dunno where all my mileage loss was.

Sweet pics! I like the one I left in the quote because of the paper that's still on the the floor mat. Haha, I did the same thing with my Civic when I first got it. I left it on for about 3 weeks. And with my Type-S, there's plastic that covers the floor mats. . . it's still there! lol .

You can check out My Ride for more recent pics.

How long more do you have until you get you Premium White Pearl? Still saving right?

I know. I miss the MPG I got in my Civic. I averaged 410 miles per tank (almost 11 gallons). And with the S, I average 320 miles per tank (almost 11 gallons).

Whoa. . . really? $700?! Damn, that's really cheap. The cheapest I could find was about $1100. I wouldn't mind getting the OEM kit instead of the ITR kit. I like um both.

Anybody know a site that sells the OEM kit? I emailed Greg at Hondawerx and he said he's working on a deal. Hopefully he can get that going soon. I would go thru him because he help me out with OEM kit for my Civic.

Wow, i usually get 330 miles on 11 gallons for the civic..... at the most 430 miles.

It's good to hear that the Type-S will get the same!!

I should have it sometime next year. Probably March.... sooo far away...

I feel the same way about the 'Type-S' on the floor mats. Haha, My girlfriend does the same thing to me! And she would pretend to touch the paint after I just washed the car because she knows how much I hate that.

I think I'm going to look into getting those all season floor mats. How much did you get them for?
