no way, the old blue they had was garbage. It had almost no shine at all and was just a blah color. The 05 blue is sick. I should know I see it every day :rick:

I just spoke to one of my friends who is a parts guy at an acura dealership and he found out that the 06 rsx's will have Magnesium Metallic and black interior. You may want to wait if this is the color option you wanted.

Too late ;x

I'm happy with my choice though.

Black interior can look cheap if done wrong (i.e. Tibby GT) but Titanium (Acura means "tan") looks luxury ;x

Hey. I'm happy with my choice. Yes, I would've rather had black interior and will probably kick myself for not waiting two months or so, but I wanted the car before college started this fall so damn

in your sig: "All stock. Just enjoying my ITR cams, intake manifold and exhaust. That means stock 02-05 DC5s watch out!!!"

those additions basically mean diddly, to regain the MPG rating of the 02-04 DC5's the ratios were moved around, plus the car weighs a little bit more, power gains are negligible, from what i've seen in terms of numbers anyway.

what isn't negligible are the things you didnt mention, which include the exterior changes as well as the suspension changes....
