Heres the deal, i just got my 06 Acura a month ago.. and i was wondering what kind of mods to put on my car. I'm looking mainly for exterior looks because my girlfriend doesnt want it to turn into a loud racing car. The first thing i think i will do is change the spoiler and maybe add a CFhood??
So once again all ideas are welcomed!!

everyday we make choices... no one should ever say they never had a choice
with each choice comes consequence, make sure you know which way you head
for regreting is the worst feeling in the world.

i have a few engine mods. got the a-spec body kit, lowered, HIDs.
i suggest u leaving ur stock lip spoiler cause it looks nice!
if u just want exterior mods, go get a simple bodykit, HIDs, tint ur windows and lower ur car. also rims.

well the best way would be getting coilovers but they r pretty expensive. a cheaper way would be springs but after a few yrs, ur shocks will blow and u will have to replace them. check out www.clubrsx.com, site has a lot of information!

Fine...I say just say your money...unless your gonna take care of your exterior...I did some exterior mods when I had my EP and it was a total waste of money. Where I'm from I got jacked every single emblem, badges, door dings, scratches and etc.

Yeah i agree save up your money and just save gas. Money saved can end up being money well spent. Money blown can = someone very very sad.

Haha funny replies.

Just leave it stock, the Type S is a nice looking car as is. If you really want to do something to your ride invest in an alarm (2 way pager is nice) and tint the windows. If you want a spoiler, the A spec spoiler looks real nice.

Go to a honda dealer and trade it in for a S2k lol..jk


Nice ride. white looks real clean. for exterior, maybe get some HID and tint. I wouldnt lower the car just yet but if u decide to lower it, get some quality suspension.

In my opinion

I would sell it and buy a real car.
but if your planning on keeping it.I wouldnt go with carbon fiber hood there flimsy and not that coool and not that much lighter.they really are just for looks and dont loook that cool.

If andy hood aftermarket i would get fiberglass.but i would try and stay as far as you can from the "rice" stuff you can.

you modify the car to compensate on what you feel is missing... not what others advise you to do.

i was thinking of getting an alarm soon and as for tinting the windows i dont know how much i can tink it nor how much it'll cost roughly. i gotta check on the looks of that a spec

so you can afford an 06 rsx type s, but you cant afford an s2k??? ummm just get like an 03 s2k, its cheaper and better than an rsx...however after reading this thread its best you dont ruin an s2k.

also the g can already run mid 13s stock and the hks intakes adds an estimated 10 extra hp and the exhausts add like 8 so yeah it should shove off about 1.5 to 2 sec off my times
