Buh-bye Civic, hello RSX.... S!
Yup! I went to the dealership yesterday after work to pick up the Arctic Blue Pearl RSX Type-S. And I love it! 
You know how the dealer tries to get you to purchase other accessories? Well, they mentioned this value pack thing that includes things like special coating for the exterior and interior [forgot what it was called], trunk tray, wheel locks and mud guards. . . all for a total of about $2000. Nope, I didn't get it. And it was a good thing I didn't because when my car was ready, I went outside to take a look at it. And guess what I noticed!. . . there was already a trunk tray, wheel locks, and mud guards!! Haha, I'm not complaining though.
About my Civic. Well, I sold it to my cousin. So I guess it won't be too far away from me
. And I am definitely not leaving this forum. It saves me from boredom when I'm at work.
BTW, the Premium White Pearl RSX-S belongs to my brother. We bought it at the same time.

Doesn't the US RSX Type S come with Gunmetal wheels??? They do here, I was watching this American commercial for the car and thought they were out to lunch calling this car without gunmetal a Type S....weird.
I still prefer the look of the Vic and am willing to shell out for the K20A2 to have the power to go with it but congrats to you and good luck!

Rep Power: 540 If you show up to a meet with an RSX S everyone knows what you got under the hood more or less and can do the math with regards to possible mods. But....If you show up to a meet with a Vic with a K20A2 under the hood you take 'em all by suprise and leave them speachless....he he he...

Rep Power: 0 yeh, the tafetta white pearl is a great color for the rsx, but it comes in a rather bad looking ivory interior (with the exception in canada). It'd be badass if it came with black like the ABP

Like you, I prefer the look of the Civic better, too. I like the look of the DC5s but in my opinion the Civic can pull off just as much if not a better sportier look than the RSX, but neither are sportier than the DC2 Integra. JMO.
Nice car and color choice. Now about that RSX w/gunmetal stock wheels...

Rep Power: 0 ^ lol! Thanks!
And thanks everyone for the comments! To be honest, I like the look of both the Civic and the RSX. But if you gave me a choice between the two. . . then I'd choose the RSX [which I did].
