2003 SSM RSX Type-S

Hey AZINE! I've had the car for about a month now but I didn't really feel like taking pictures. I went to the car wash today and said eh, what the heck why not? I snapped a few photos, nothing special used a cheap Nikon 9MP Digi camera.

It has about 86k miles with a rebuilt title. Only parts replaced on it were drivers side fender, left headlight, bumper, hood.







Well that's it for now. I don't know if I should mod it or not? I would like to do all mods but still keep it N/A without rebuilding anything... what do you guys think?

Also what can be done... the last owner drove into a freshly painted yellow line and it won't come off! lol.

For the paint transfer, take a claybar to it.

unfortunately clay probably isn't gonna do too much on that road paint no offense. your best bet is to use lacquer thinner and rub gentlyyyyy... it'll take a long time to get that stuff off but you have to be really careful with the lacquer not to etch the paint. if you do happen to etch the paint then the only way to bring it back is with a good cutting compound and a trusty buffer. good luck on that, that shit sucks.

Yeah it does, I'm going to deal with it for the winter months. As soon as spring hits I'm going to get the car done professionally. It has rust forming and scratches on the bumpers, bought the car that way...talked him down $500.00 so yeah the $500.00 is plenty to restore it.

^thanks, yeah I haven't really done much to the car at all, I lost my job because the company had to cut just about all employees, but I should be getting something else soon.

Anyways so far the things I've done was remove my splash guards, debadge it, clean the baked on brake dust off of the rims.






Rims BEFORE

Rims AFTER


The next step I want to take with the car would be get 35% window tints on the sides, 5% sunroof+back window and get my roof covered in glossy vinyl, so basically a black roof .

sorry for late response, I was not able to. I will be hopefully taking my car in to get all the rusting fixed for good and make sure to prevent any more rust from forming. While they do that I'll tell them to take the paint off.
