Looks pretty clean. I'd still drop it a few more inches, just to eliminate the rest of the wheel gap in the front and rear.

Yea im in the process of purchasing new coilovers that will allow me to lower my car another 2 or 3 more inches.

Looking good, I'm sure it will clean up even nicers
Looks like you could use a sideskirt or something to even out the bottom line

looks pretty cool man i thought you brought his whole lip kit fwicr. Anyways looks decent being black ok i approve. :)

Looking pretty good, can't wait to see it a few more inches lower!

I didnt end up going with the chargespeed lip kit, i had a Greddy front lip already and a Type R lip in my garage so i put that on. Im gonna order up some SideSkirts soon along with my new coilovers so i can lower it a couple more inches.

Thanks for the positive replies guys. 

lower it

ha ha i wish,, you wont beleave where im from.... ND.

side skirts would go nicely on that car..
good job so far.

Looks clean, as the others said slam it more and get some clean low side skirts.

i really like those rims on the rsx,but i guess i like them better on the white car instead but looks real good though.cant wait till you put the side skirts on and lower it.

Well my new Coilovers are on the way BC N+ will allow me to tuck the wheels and tires lower the rays white car, so that should really change the whole look of the car!
And My CWest Side Skirts are also on the way, so updates very soon guys.

Along with the install of my strup race header my new catback fireball exhuast and K-pro ECU. ;D ;D

Where did you get your rims if you dont mind me asking..

I does to me too. ha ha.. anyways the only thing the same about rays white rsx and my black rsx are the wheels i bought from him. his car is now stock and sold it.
Sideskirts came in today, getting them painted and installed this week hopefully. The car goes in on tuesday for a full buff job. And the new BC +N coilover come in this week sometime so i can still have sick handling and drop it another 2".. for those who could give two shits less. lol..

Its just pointless to dwell on that ONE point. 
He was selling his wheels and parting out his car. I bought his used wheels.
There is no point to keep pointing it out. 
Useless

except that it does tend to lead others to understand your lack of originality or creativity. The guy with the white car went out and did something different, and made it look good. You however just followed. Some are leaders with vision, and some are bound to simply 'follow.'

Right. Anyways. *fixed*

Anyhoo, like the others I'm also very eager to see pictures of the car with the new skirts, and the drop too! I'm sure with the drop and evened out bottom line it will have much bolder presence than before. The black helps too, just don't forget to wash the bird poops off!

Right. Anyways. Cuz doing a Q45 instead would have been so groundbreaking.

You are still able to do new, innovating, and different things with a Q45. VIP tuning is as much about individuality and originality as it is about class and presence. A true VIPcar should be designed to portray ones taste and class, the same goes for a VIP style car. As far as this car is concerned the only modification that makes it stand out from the countless other modified RSX's are the wheels, and those not longer set the RSX apart since the original car was so groundbreaking that everyone knows the car and recognizes the wheels. Regardless, I have been offtopic, and firelizard you were extremely offtopic.

All I have to say is modify a VIPcar (or VIPstyle car) as a platform to display YOUR taste, creativity, and sense of style. 

That's why I'm glad he opted for a different bodykit, it should create a different effect, even with the same wheels. It will be a nice RSX, I think.

OMG mang, you have taking this way past the point it doesnt needs too be.. Not to be picky but God forbid there would be a section on this page for a RSX VIP... There is not.  And what sets me apart from the rest or the RSXS, is the wheels.. No i dont drive a unique whip, its a RSX S...  I have the wheels yes!  But all in all dont act all big and buff and all that stuff. Jjust becuz you see the wheels on my car now doesnt mean i think im VIP or diff, I havent finished the project yet!  As for groundbreaking, all he had was the wheels that i have now and some cheap sus setup dump on a Chargespeed Lip Kit that everyone else and there mother had on there RSX!"check out the rsx forum!"  About originality as it is about class and presence, Im doing it my own style and again is not finished.. 
Doing my own thing, and yes i have his wheels and about 4k worth of better parts and sus going on the car.. So if you are so stuck on the wheels and lip kit he had, go post up in his section until you see the finished product.. Thank you sir.
Damn stop acting like an ass, s*** just gets old man.  Its not a finished product.. But hanging out on this forum is tuff with cats like you lurking around.
Look at the bigger picture and read..  Alot of us arnt as slow as you think we may be.  Or stuck on the whole VIP image. Read through my thread again and revamp what you are saying, and chill man.

For real. Its stupid, I think you need to give more credit to people where credit is due! B4 you jump on my  s***  to early. And when you judge a RSX S please know about what car you are talking about b4 you nit pick the one other car on the forum that was a RSX and gave up on VIP. Im took the time and money to buy his wheels and im still creating MY OWN STYLE..
Read the thread again and wait until i post new pictures. 
Thanks for the negative input once again.  ;)
Again its a work in progress.

Here is whats next on the list.
CWest Side skirts - getting painted tonight.
Buddy Club coilovers - should be here this week. That will allow me to lower my car 2-3" lower then shown in the pictures.
Tsudo CatBack FireBall eaxhaust/Strup race header/k-pro install.
Goes into the detail shop next week for a full detail and buff.
Then my buddy from the Twin Cities will be in town for a high quality photoshoot.
After all this is posted and still not done, hopefully you will let the fact go that i did buy the wheels from "the white rsx" and respect what style im trying to protray, "MY OWN"
Its tuff enough trying to pull this style off with a RSX "not respected in the VIP community" but to put up with negative feedback insted of advice, well the s*** just gets tired and old quick.
Sorry to blow up, but people shouldnt dwell and post on the fact that there was once a white RSX VIP style with these wheels. well he gave up i bought them.  There is alot more to it then looks, its performance aswell, along with the quality of the parts on the car that you dont see. Still a work in progress and it will never be finished. But until then you can just fallow with hate without asking or reading for the furture plans with my car.  You just make assumptions and i follow my own mind on creating the project i wanted to create.  By the way it is the only set of wheels like this built for the RSX I have them now, he doesnt get over it. I will fallow Suit.



You should respect that. B4 jumping the gun on what you say. 
 ;)

When its finished it will suprize people and look better then "then white one" aka rays RSX, trust me. No one takes the time to ask whats going on, just dig and dog on the fact i bought the only set of Estatus wheels in the U.S built for the RSX. I will finish the project and pull it off with respect.

Not exactly sure which part of your car is VIP, but it looks nice nonetheless.

thats why i posted the thread as wanna B vip. :)

you should make a custom benz/noblesse style kit for you car.... now that would look vip.

Actually, I'm thinking a kouki conversion would help 
"class it up"

Estatus Style D2

I love the wheels, I can't believe the lip you can get for a acura.

where did u get them? and do u know how much ?

u have any plans to sell em ? they would look sick on my RL.

If I'm not mistaken, CieloMan (owner of the white RSX) dropped $3,500 for the wheels originally

Looks good man!

That detail job is nice.

Damn thats shiny! cant wait to see the new pics!

I love how the wheels and the stance takes over the whole car's presence. Looks excellent! Just remove the megan sticker off :laugh:


Herb

Try lowering it a bit more + some camber ;)

Don't worry Pete, he's on it =)

Personally, I can't wait to see this. It already looks pretty low by daily driver standards, and 2" is quite a bit, should be pretty bold!

Well i didnt get 2" out of my new coilovers, but i did get 1.5" this is the lowest you will see this car.
And well i didnt have time to get super duper shots of the car it got to late. And as for the install with the C-West Sideskirts, didnt have time to slam them on either.  I think with the sideskirts on the car will take on a whole new look.

Well here is a shitty shot, ill post something up just to posting a picture of the new sus.
Ill have the Sideskirs on this weeks ometime.

HERE IS THE MEGAN COILOVERS: B4 PICTURE.
[img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v303/91FULLSIZE/LikeGlass014.jpg[/img]

Here is the after shot.
These. If i wanna go any lower my only option is cheap as fake coilovers that ride like s***, or air cylinders..

Ill post up better pictures this week after i get the sideskirt on.


Oh yea, i ordered this up today too!! :)
