Looks, my fave blue (excl. custom paint jobs and one or two other super-rare blues), gunmetal rims, and a tint looks slick. Oh and i-VTEC:D
I hate my brakes and wish i ahd the TSX tranny, however.

Hmm, I'd have to say the SATIN SILVER color and i-VTEC w/SRI sound.
I'd have to agree with S777 about the stereo/sub. It's not that great of a sound system.

Overall stock performance for the price, overall looks (exterior and interior), red gauges, and engine sound past 6,500 RPM's.

Thats true those red guages are amazing at night, just beautiful...and some torque below 6000rpm would be nice

Nope, Nope, I meant SATIN SILVER, but DSM isn't all that bad either! Not like that electric blue color that screams look at me please! :iceslolan :iceslolan :iceslolan

I guess I have one too. No grind yet and no leather cracking. I wonder about all those people with cracking leather. Have they heard of conditioning it? Really! Just take some armor all leather conditioner every 4 months and clean the seats. Leather takes a lot of work to keep up. I guess that's a negative for the TypeS. I would have loved regular cloth on those seats.

no leather cracking for me...but then again I fly through armor all...My gf is jealous of the attention I give to my car, so I wouldn't expect any problems like that

so, basically, waht you are saying is that your engine is going to last another month, right?
Anyway, I like the the perf leather, I really like the black leather of 04, not sure about the titanium colored leather though, it does not look right.

a 7900 Idle? yeah I would give that about a week...titanium coloured leather???? what model is that from?

Titanium = the tan interior. In Canada it's only on desert silver RSXs.

Here in the U.S. red has the titanium interior as well. Just like mine :)

I fyou get a premium pearl white, milano red, magnesium metallic, or jade green metallic '05 RSX-S the interior is titanium colored leather.

Every colour we get here for 05 (we don't get red or green) gets an ebony interior. On the 02-04 Canadian RSX's the base DSM was the only titanium interior RSX.

:) I was just going off the Acura site, did not check to see what colors we get here. Besides, for about $560 you can get anything delivered to your local dealer.

Titanium leather isn't so bad- although I would have taken black if it had been offered with the DSM at the time.
And I don't really have to explain that the 7900 rpm idle comment was sarcasm...right? :biggrin:

Ebony? For the interior? That's the worst possible color. I always get black. That way you can't really see any stains.

Ebony is a uber-dark charcoal :p Its a sort of shade of black. BLAH!

that is like saying black is a shade of blue because black is also an uber-dark shade of blue. Or any other color of the spectrum.

Technically pure black isn't blue, but you can have a super dark blue that looks identical to black :p
