Glad to know. I didnt even mean to go to the dealership to get the RL. I was supposed to test drive the TL instead, but they had sold it right before I got there and someone had just brought the RL back from a test drive. Lucky me

Um, I didnt really have a preference to be honest. i just needed something more "grown up". I just turned 28 on 1/7 and ive had the Integra for 9 years. But the ride between the Teg and RL and night and day. From the leg/head room, to the power and control. Not to mention the standard options...Its really an impressive ride.

Ahhh man! Looks good. I wanted silver so bad when I was shopping for mine. All I could find in my range and with the black interior was black though. I think the silver looks bad ass. Congrats on the new ride

I'm not usually a fan of grey cars, but that's a very clean example. I love the RL's restrained and tasteful styling, and your car showcases it well. Enjoy!

I did exactly the same as you. I moved up from a silver 01 Integra to silver 06 RL back in 2011. You should get the splash guards and deck lid spoiler. It looks naked without it. The rearview camera would helped a lot too. I'm gonna add that soon. I'm still not used to backing into spaces. Nice ride tho.

Do you mean the under body spoiler (a.k.a. lip kit)?

I'm close to signing on an 05 in similar condition. Do you mind if I ask what you paid and how many miles are on yours? Looks great!

Go ahead a park a few dollars to the side for the center console replacement pad, dehazing of the lights, a replacement fog light, and God forbid a NAVI DVD drive. Brake pads and tires are not very cheap either.

Great car!!! but I see the above as a common theme for this generation and OEM replacements are insane.

Also click on the display showing the flow of power to each wheel. I've been able to get to about 6 bars before I felt unsafe.

I ended up driving away with it for $16,200 with tax/title, down from the $19k sticker price. Got it with 52k miles.
