Going Broke for OEM Acura RSX Parts | Window Trim & Floor Mats

The cost of OEM perfection is NOT CHEAP! In today's video, the Acura RSX gets a handful of new and used OEM goods to clean things up! Needless to say, I'm missing my cheap Junkyard Honda Parts at this point...

Since picking up my (new to me) 2005 Acura RSX, there's been a handful of things I've wanted to restore or fix. Many of these things being parts I can still order new, but is the cost actually worth it? The short answer, no. But since I'm wanting to do this car to a beautiful OEM+ spec, some of these parts aren't cheap. So today we tackle the unsightly exterior trim on the windows and replace them with new OEM trim from Acura. Overall, a pretty straightforward install, just be careful not to break anything along the way!

To top that off, I'm a sucker for OEM floor mats and mine had seen better days. I attempted to re-dye the mats with duplicolor fabric spray, but wasn't happy with how they looked or felt. So, I dug DEEP and pulled the trigger on a set of freshy OEM Type S mats in charcoal grey. But because I'm a crazy honda person, I wanted the all weather mats too. So thanks to Hector and Obed, I was able to get a hold of a full set of the all weather front and rear mats.

So you're probably reading this thinking, Anthony did you just make a video on floor mats? Yes. I'm trying to document everything on the car (including the little stuff) to help the acura RSX community and because I think its fun. So I hope you can nerd out with me on this stuff too!

Thanks for watching!

Your OCD is awesome. It really is the little attentions to detail I love about this channel. The ruler with tape was clutch! Great build.

Very true, OEM+ tends to be a pretty expensive style.
But in my honest humble opinion though, It's usually such a interesting style that's very much worth it as long as one gets the right parts.
Some parts might look nice and OEM+ but in reality they're cheap replacements only meant to look slightly more fancy, But research does wonders.

Been loving the RSX content!
The small details make the biggest difference!

[teejayu.]

The precision that you use sometimes just blows my mind. LOVE THESE VIDEOS!

[OhYeahAboutThat]

These are all things that MUST be done! I love doing all these same details on my projects.

I found a full set of four brand new mats for my 01 Prelude at a Honda dealer in Canada. Don’t know how they actually found them up but they were in the original plastic packaging. 500$ cad. Bought brand new Honda headlights for 400$ each as well and door moulding for 90$ each, getting hard to find parts for the lude so I was buying things before I need them. I keep my cars forever. Hello from British Columbia 😎

One guy told me $500 for the 2 front all weather mats, i bought another rsx and it same with literally brand new oem type S mats with the all weather mats also, the guy also threw in brand new door moldings also, seeing how much you spent makes me feel really lucky

Loving the videos, just recently got into a Type S about 5 months ago (Something I've wanted since highschool 2010) and was tired of looking 5+ year old outdated Youtube videos

[angelmendoza]

These cars are not cheap and i personally love it. Makes you appreciate the cleanest ones out there and it's truly a beautiful car in person. Online pictures and videos don't do these cars enough justice

[Sosa]

These are a dying breed I have a o6 type S 70 k miles and some old head offered me 9000 did I take no cause these cars are beautiful and they’re so jdm and they basically last forever if you maintain it and btw urs looks Beautiful. Really clean 😍

Love love love Anthony ! Can’t wait to see how this turns out! Have a good taste

Those window moldings annoy me as well. I ended up getting window moldings from a civic coupe at a scrap yard for free, (which were in perfect condition) and they were slightly longer than my rsx ones. Just have to cut them down to size.

I love these videos now cuz my trans blew up again😭 got a junkyard trans cuz I didn’t wanna drop 1000s and had the same exact problems as my oem looking at doing a k24 swap down the road when I get out of college and have the money and time but man I miss my Honda literally just got it back yesterday and it went out on my last night😭best of luck with the rsx I love that body style so much such a classic yet updated look to the 90s Hondas

[uneekspeed]

I’m a huge Honda enthusiast and all sought after Honda’s from 88-2006 are jumping in value by the day and parts are even worse. I source parts for you tubers and other people in the Honda resto game. Hit me up if ya ever need anything new or used. Keep up that hustle

I repainted my rsx window trim. Use the matte black VHT. Its got an oem finish and it’s like $7. I’ve done it for my friends too

[davethewave]

Just subscribed. About to park my 06 type S for a while to go on the same journey your on with yours.

[richcortez]

Yeah bro I thought I lost my passenger floor mat couple weeks ago for my rsx called the dealership to see how much they going for i was shocked I ended up finding my mat luckily and now know its worth not cheap

[Jjjjjjj]

When evo guys realize that Honda’s get more views 😂. Glad to see this content.

[davidtranmedia]

I have a 06 Rsx Type-S with only 28k original miles on it.
It was my dream car at 15.
All vins match!
I have all the oem parts i took off stored and wrapped.

[acevedohiram]

You aren't wrong. The whole set of all weather mats cost me 350 but they make the car look so much nicer
