Someone got out a 05 Helms Manual or something like that from Acura.

Info is scattered throughtout the thread.

Summary:
-21 New Colours (or so). And yes, even Helms can't spell Arctic, and no pink/fuschia/magenta
-Civic-like front bumper
-Civic-like headlights without the little scoops at the bottom of the headlights
-No HID's
-Tails that look kinda like Prelude Altezzas
-Engine mods (The 05 has a different part number for the throttle body and both the intake and exhaust manifold and Type S muffler.) The head, block, pistons, connecting rods and crank are the same as the previous RSX.
-Different Suspension (dunno what though, just has different codes)
-3 Different rims sets including 17's
-Rear bumper with flares at the bottom


*UPDATE* The 26 colours are including colours for the trim and all that, so there won't actually be 26 exterior colours.

21 NEW COLORS...yet no pink??? j/k

Interesting that they're splitting the base RSX into the RSX and RSX-L, presumably to denote leather interior.

I like the flares on the rear bumper.

Good post crazy.

Thanks

And yeah, what gives. I wanted a FABULOUS! RSX. Stupid unavailable pink....

Seriously though, that colour list is too long, and how many blacks and silvers do you need?

Update - those 26 colours are EVERY colour in the car including interior trims, etc, not just exterior paint.

I think I'll need to do a little conversion work when those engine parts become available...

I noticed someone had your avatar. I thought maybe it was actually you though.

Sounds like lots of customizing color-wise...

As long as they don't put in more HP, I really don't care what stying changes they make. Although having the option of 17" wheels without buying a "performance" package is nice.

They are probably changing the perf. and handling, different part numbers for the suspenion, Type S muffler, throttle body and both the intake and exhaust manifold.
