dan, personally the ONLY replacement full front bumper I would throw on an RSX is the ings+1 kit. Awesome!! Only front nice enough for me out there. Other than that, Greddy front lip is nice, C-West lip is nice....

oh and save...please if I saved every penny I made it would take me like 3 months for a minimal downpayment. Thats no gas, no food, no nothing. Plus once I would have acquired it there would be no way I could afford gas, monthly payment plus insurance...

theres only so much one can do with a little...

The 350 had 8k miles on it. It was only 4 months old so it wasn't too used. It actually looks brand new accept for one or two rock chips. The only reason I can afford it is becuase i'm addicted to cars and every penny I make goes to them. (I'm retarded)

My insurance was less on the 350z by about $15 a month. :thumbup:

import-tooner you sound just like me if I didn't have credit card bills and a loan to payoff now. People call me stupid all the time cause of my mentality towards cars. Having cars that I would enjoy and love is one of my top priorities, no matter how financially constraining it is. fortunately I have a girlfriend and she has the top spot so some of my funds will always go towards pleasing her.

But the time will come soon where I'll be debt-free and a vehicle is certainly in order.

Weird how the insurance on the 350 was lower...

I would get the Z hands down. Faster, RWD, sexier, if any car has more parts available than the RSX its the Z. My 0.02

Go RSX. Even tough the Z has more horses, its heavy as shit for a 2 seater. Ridiouscly heavy. Get the RSX and use that left over money to tune it up. Looks is n your opinion, the Z needs to do sumthign wit those retarded long ass tailights.

As far as the looks go, that's all a matter of opinion. I personally hate the way the Z looks (same with the STi and EVO). I have nothing but respect for their performance, but like I said, it is a matter of opinion. You need to make that decision based on your own opinions not everyone else's. After all, it is going to be your car. :cheers:

It really comes down to what type of car you are looking for etc. I personally love my EP3, but prob. for different reasons than say a 350z.

As far as insurance goes, beyond the normal stuff (age, credit, driving record etc.) the car itself can play a factor. i.e. A porche can be more expensive to insure than say a Honda Accord, ilreguardless of the orginal MSRP. A test would be to call your insurance company and ask how much it would cost to insure an old 90's Z.. I bet its not all that different from the 350..

Also SHOP AROUND, there really is massive differences in costs between insurance company's. EX: State Farm and GEICO look at driving record.. while Progressive and AllState look at Credit.. For me it was actually cheaper to go with Progressive, because my credit is so good than State Farm, because they don't care about my credit.. just my age.
