    If you don't want to do performance mods, I would probably do nothing to it.

    well the most i would do is the basic I/H/E. maybe the hondata. i've heard you get a pretty good gain of whp from those few mods. but im really not sure if i want to do headers... and i also hear the 05-06 type s exhaust is very good and there really isnt a need to get an aftermarket. well that was said on the rsx forum.

    Don't buy a regular headers,u don't gain much...Get a race header,it is expensive but it makes a big difference on the type S..I don't have a type S ,but i know 2 people with them ,with the same mods.....

    put 60,000$ worth of stereo in your car, because that's unique for a sports car.

    anyone know where i can get HIDs for the rsx? and i am debating if i should get 4k yellow fog lights. i've seen pictures of them and they look awesome. but they are very pricey. but then again cheapest i've seen OEM is like 250-300

    The icebox will not void your warranty..... proven fact and your what your talking about the stock airbox is not making any sense ..... Double in dash thing will be a little tricky but should be no prob to install....

    and some parents to help you out...when you buy your first car on your own you will understand what I'm talking about...my parent's bought my first car when I was 16...I have bought my last 9 cars on my own...you appreciate it more when you pay for it yourself...just don't put yourself out trying to buy mods you can't afford immediatelly...it has taken me 3 years to get my car to its current state...you don't have to do it all overnite...I look forward to seeing your new ride though I am still partial to your old Tib...you don't see Tib's that often unlike Integra's...hence why I bought mine...I think the Integra is the closest thing I have driven that was similiar to the Tib...

    im not doing anything crazy. its not like im trying to get my car to nopi. i could care less about car shows. im doing simple mods. yeah some might cost a bit much but its nothing that i cant handle with my budget. and my parents only got me the tib and i used the tib as the down payment for this car. but im not sure if my mom put any down payment down. cause at most she put down maybe 3000 for me. the only thing my parents really did was talk about the price. the only thing i have in mind is a system, indash, tint, and still debating if i should get the comptech icebox.... not sure though. and im not planning on buy all these things in one day or one week. all this is probably going to take me a year. no exhuast or header and etc for me. im fine with the cars performance. its not much but i dont need a race car to go to work lol and if i ever did do crazy stuff to my car andd put so much money into it. i would not be driving it. i would have a daily driver and keep it in the garage. but i want to keep it as stock as possiable because since they are discountinuing it. i could sell it for a good price as the years go by. like how much are Type r's now a days. like half the value of the car and probably more.

    from what I've heard, an Injen cold air intake would give you more of a performance gain.
