And it's great!! Bought it used on ebay for $80. Kinda steep, but about half MSRP. Only (tiny) problem is the cruise control cable interferes with it, and it kind of pushes the cable up and half way out of its little clip at the passenger side tower.
Now I want a rear (larger) sway/tie combo. :lol2:

Crap!! I just did my taxes!! Looks like these suspension mods will have to wait.....
I put some pinstripes on my car over the weekend - sivic, it got all the way up to a blistering 45 degrees here this Sat.!!! Not sure if I will keep them on or not; can't decide. Right now I've got 1/4" Tomato Red with 1/8" Metallic Silver next to it on one side and 1/4" Tomato Red with 1/8" Tomato Red next to it on the other side! I think I prefer the red/silver combo, but those stripes are a little wide and I'm not sold on pinstripes on an RSX. Phew!! I wear myself out! Maybe paint the little wheel inserts red where they are black......started removing the "Acura" and "RSX" emblems from decklid......need to wait for warmer weather to remove all the adhesive - boy, that's some strong stuff!!
I cut and put the gutter guard into the gaping hole in the lower bumper. Looks great and stays put without any fasteners! But I think I will put some little plastic clips in there anyway to keep it straight.
Now to list my OEM spoiler on ebay.....so I can pay my freaking taxes this year!!

45 degrees! Jeez, yall need to all move down to the south, where its always nice and warm, most of the time anyway. Besides the south is where all the hot girls are.
Im glad to hear the grille worked out, im gonna go pick up one this week/weekend, i think ill give the alluminum a shot since my car is white and has the mirror tint on the windows it might match nicely.
Also if you get a larger sway bar let me know because i think yours stock is larger than mine i might have to buy it off of ya if you sell it...why does everyones always have to be bigger than mine, *Sigh*

Yeah, 44 Saturday and freezing rain Sunday night!! Michigan sucks, which is why the unemployment rate is the highest in the nation. It is depressing and the manufacturing has all gone - South - where the hot girls (and weather) are!!
BTW, I know. I used to live in Ft. Lauderdale and South Beach. Don't even ask why I am here now. It's about family, mostly.
Always bigger than mine - LOL. It's not the size that matters......it's how you drive it!!

If you ask the automotive workers in the plants in Michigan they will prob say its your fault for buying an import...then the ppl in the south (excluding Florida, North and South Carolina New Orleans, they rock!) will agree and make some comment about their Chevy lasting 500k miles

LOL!! De-criminalized marijuana!! That would allow the auto workers to continue without the stigma of illegality!!
Yes of course they blame us import buyers......I just wrote a response letter to the editor about that. I said I used to buy American out of allegiance but I couldn't afford to subsidize them anymore - and go nuts in the process of keeping my car on the road!! Was like a second job!!
I really was considering a Cobalt - but it's too early to buy a new GM - they still take at least a couple of years of production to begin to get a new car right. And the Cobalt is so freaking expensive....

It's a type of medicine. Ask your doctor!!
