02-04 to 05 Conversion
Wouldn't all you need to do is change the light assemblies and bumpers?
Im not sure of the exact dimensions of the 2 generations of the RSX, nor if they match up. Any info would be great being i only want the new one for the looks over the older model. (unless the price drops in the next year or so, that extra power sounds nice)

yeah, i dunno about the fenders though, it looks as though they are exactly the same shape and size. i have magazine clippings of a 05 rsx type-s from modified, and an AEM ad with an 02-04 rsx on it, and it looks like its very possible. again someone with an rsx would help!

they same shape? impossible... size? maybe.... shape isa big no no because the 05+ rsx have a different style headlights
go to club rsx and ask them they have more experience people on this subject
EDIT: IM WRONG... just looked it up u just need headlights, front bumper, and grill...
lemme search some more just in case im wrong but i found the info on clubrsx
TAKEN FROM SOME DUDE THERE I CANT RECALL WHO but anyways you get the idea sorry for the misinfo atfirst i just remembered its only the bottom of the headlights thats different visually
i believe the headlight support part numbers are 71140-S6M-010 and 71190-S6M-010.
and here are the LISTprice for each part:
-headlight are 355 each
-headight supports are only 20
-frontbumper 316
-and then you need misclenous items such as grill, emblems, bulbs which cost another 200
so the whole setup cost around 1200 LIST price but you can always find parts for cheaper. i only paid 300 out of my pocket plus a 100 acura gift card.
wait actualy only 250 cuz i paid 50 bucks to paint my stock sideskirts, but they are ALL OEM parts

they are sort of the same right?For the front you need:
-Headlights
-Bumper
-Headlight supports
For the tails you need the tails and bumper, I don't think you need anything else. It should be an easy fit although one guy had a problem with it.
The 05+ Type S's also have different sideskirts (which fit on all RSXs just like a regular skirt), lip wing and rims.
