Ack Attack Post 14: Tuner RSX

The RSX is meant to be Acura's economical sports car. It's small, lightweight, and fast! This car is not modded out as much as the 'Teg, but that could be because it costs a considerable bit more.

The main things which people will put on the RSX are angle eye headlights or a body kit. Since the RSX is already sporty and has racing seats in it, there is no need for them. Also, this car is more or less for simply going fast, which means weighing it down with a sound system may not be the best idea. The RSX is used a lot in shows and there are numerous toy models of it whereas there are not many for the Integra unless you really look for them. As a whole, the RSX is seen as a much nicer car than the 'Teg and therefore does not need the tuner "upgrades" that an Integra might. Also, there is no reason to modify the engine of the RSX unless you just want to put in a cold-air intake or a transmission cooler.

The RSX is more or less just beautiful as it is, so it isn't too often that its owners want to impose on its existing beauty. Because of its cost, the RSX is usually driven by people who have a decent amount of money and if it's a modded out RSX, they have a lot of money. The cheaper way to go for most kids is to mod out an Integra.
