Buying a new RSX - Acura Forum

snolan87 · 07-02-08, 01:36 PM

Hi everyone, I am fairly new to this website and I am need of some help. I am going to buy an RSX but I can't decide which year are better 05 or 06? Along with that, I can't decide between the red, blue, or rustic color. I know its all about personal preference but I just would like advice for the color that looks best with a little tint. Thanks

Good luck and

to Acura World!!

The 05 and 06 are the same, unless the color you're planning on getting is Magnesium Metallic (dark gray). MM in 05 has tan interior and MM in 06 has black.

If by "rustic" you mean orange, then any of them will look good alone and even better with tint. Just pick your favorite color.

they are exactly the same, the difference you may see in power numbers is simply because of a different test being used to calculate them. I personally love the Vivid Blue Pearl. I had a black RSX, but man the blue is so much easier to keep clean, and when you wash it it's blindingly bright! It's great, but it does stand out.

There was a picture a while back that was posted for sale in Florida that was the metaliic orange color and it look tight with tint. But, like everyone said, they all look better with tint. The most unpopular color is the Jade Green which should have been a little more green than it turned out to be. Could have been a nice color in something like Brittish Racing Green.

I agree with tire, the blue is sexy with tint man. I have desert silver 04 RSX-S and I didnt like it at first, but it is growing on me (Just got it like 2-3 weeks ago). I plan on painting it jet black but the more sexy blue ones I see, I dunno hehe. As for 05 or 06... get the one with less miles and cheaper price, that will be the only difference as far as I am concerned.

snolan87 · 07-02-08, 04:38 PM

Does anyone know if the blue type s comes with the tan interrior?

djbme83 · 07-02-08, 06:30 PM

i've always thought the BOM (blaze orange metallic) looks dead sexy with tint. i have a NBP (nighthawk black pearl) and it's sexy when clean... which is not very often.

**TireMeltingRSX** · 07-03-08, 09:43 AM

The Vivid Blue Pearl comes with a black interior.

DJ- have you seen a BOM dirty? I saw one and it made me glad I didn't get it, just looked wrong

**TireMeltingRSX** · 07-03-08, 09:44 AM

btw, VBP with tint... you can't argue with that:

agreed with the crowd. 05 & 06 are exactly the same except that the 06 have extra paint colors.

i like my NBP with black interior.

i don't know about you guys that i don't like that tan interior.

Slynky · 07-03-08, 11:27 AM

n: to tan interior. Black has always been the color of choice for interiors for sport cars. WORST are the white interiors.

snolan87 · 07-03-08, 01:21 PM

Does anyone have any pictures of an 05 or 06 red with black tint?

n0s_speed · 07-03-08, 01:47 PM

well, i don't think anyone here has a red rsx. here's a pic of the red one. we just need someone to photoshop it. someone will do it here. i can't, i'm at work.
