In Progress Acura RSX

Nothing special going on with this one - box stock except that I've made the front bumper slightly deeper - I'm thinking of painting it white with a C/F Hood. Wheels are from Revell Integra with Pegasus sleeves.

looks good

im building one too

mine is black

just a suggestion paint it another color everyone has done on here

its hot but dem rims are not for that car ge some nice aoshimas but dats my opinion

Looks good. White looks really good on the RSX. Keep us posted, and I'm sure it'll be hot, just like all your other kits.

Is this the RSX-R? White base, white gloss, pearl clear. IMO, maybe the 12spoke, 5spoke, or grey mr7 7spoke wheels would look better in those sleeves, specialy if they were white with the pearl clear. Any idea what else will be done to this?

He said it's going to be basically stock, so nothing else he really can do.

looks good so far

could compliment the interior with a half cage and some racing seats. that'd be cool, and keeping it stock.

Another great one on the way!!

I know I said I was going to build it basically out of the box but having used the side skirts from the Wings West Accord wagon on the RX8 I had the front bumper hanging around so I thought why not :evillol:
Heres how it looks grafted on to the RSX - obviously I have a bit of putty work to do !

Go for it!!!:sunglasse

I will Tonio - just need to make it a bit "pointier" to follow the lines of the grille but I think some plastic card & putty should do it.

sweet dude i love the front bumber cant wait to see the progress :biggrin:

looks great! i would go with no wing though..thought it gave it a cleaner look.

The wing on this car looks good. Like you said, just make it a little pointy-er.lol

very cool, its kinda got a new civic look now you have squared the front off a little. i love it love it love it! cant wait to see more

Did a little bit of work on the front bumper yesterday -
decided to make the opening a bit smaller so it matches
the width of the grille - still a bit more filling & sanding to go yet before I'm completely happy with it.

man that is looking sick...one thing would be cool though...to strech out the middle hole a bit more...on the real one its a big bigger...but nice job though mang

that is so sweeeeeet

This is awsome. I just tried to do a civic hood custom, i will have pictures up soon

It's about time I posted some more progress on this one but to be honest there hasn't been much happening. More filing & sanding - basically trying to make the bumper curved to make it flow better. Anyway here's where it is currently - a few small imperfections to sort out but hope to have it sprayed tomorrow (weather permitting) -paint will be orange with a white graphic.

yup. couldn't agree more.

yeah, looks fantastic can't wait to see more

Looks interesting, surprisingly you don't see to many DC5 models

adding any GT wing behind?

That front bumper is awesome. Keep up the good work.

Managed to get it sprayed today - colour is VW Brilliant Orange - still needs clearcoat.

PS/ AsongKar - I think I'll leave it wingless :naughty:

Orange looks very nice on the car. Looks great so far. Keep us posted on the build.

looking real nice. i like how the front bumper turned out, good work.

didn't like the grey one, this colour makes it look pretty weird :P

uh, that was primer, a base coat he added before he would add the final color (orange). kind gives the final paint a fuller look, make applying the paint easier-helps it stick.

ops didnt notice it when it got orange :P

Wow, I love that colour! it's looking great..

:eek7: The orange brings it all together,.. and it's not even finished! :screwy:

another masterpiece.

:icon16:

wow, that body kit looks damn nice on it! :smile:

A bit more progress - window trim sprayed, SAS c/f hood & made a start on the interior. Still waiting for the new S part Aoshima wheels so can't make final wheel choice until they arrive.

the workmeister rims would look hot . that car is phanaminal

Looks good Andy

Very Very nice. I love the color and the carbon fibre hood. One question. Who makes this kit?

The kit I used is Fujimi Feels Interga Type R (FUJ 18642) - Fujimi do other versions - (FUJ 03538) is basically the same kit and cheaper I think.

wow, that color look ssweet

nice! but it looks weird compared to a real rsx. (the kit, not your work)

very cool

i like the color & the beautyful front bumper !!:bigthumb:

A little bit more progress - body has been clearcoated - need to leave it for a week before polishing and decided to go with grey/orange interior.

This is going to be another stunning car. Are the rear wheels supposed to be that far into the wheel well?

sweet dude love yer work andy

this is gonna be sweet, are yah gonna do panel lines?

Lovin the color scheme! another sweet addition to your collection :iceslolan

Perhaps a Carbon Fiber wing to match the hood. Otherwise the car looks very sharp in that orange

the wing from the revell itr with body color sides and a cf mid piece would be sweet.

Did you decide to go gangsta style with the passenger seat or did you not glue it yet? haha

They're just resting on the chassis plate at the moment just to get a general idea how they'll look - I haven't started the suspension (for some reason it's usually the last thing I get round to doing)

Will do but I need to polish the clearcoat out first.

Tamiya masking tape let me down for once ! - interiors not finished yet so nothing glued down at the moment.

I was bored last night so decided to polish out the clear coat and add a few decals (I know - I should get out more :uhoh:)
IMHO the shape lends itself to some type of wing so rooted around in the spares box and came up with the spare wing from the Evo viii - not sure whether to remove the central support or not and I'll have to remove the brake light - heres the pics

More fuel for the wing/wingless debate :evillol:

It looks good with, and without the spoiler. If you keep it on, I say leave the center support. :)

spoiler looks very nice on it
