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!
Here's the website I ordered the OEM parts from: www.oemacuraparts.com

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.

[@BrandonStellmach]

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

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

Appreciate you watching! Agreed!

[@brandon_buildsDIY]

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

[@teejayu.767]

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.

[@Whateva67]

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 😎

[@The_One_Over_There]

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.

[@ALLDAYANTHONY]

True!

[@BestofAdinRoss]

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 KZbin videos

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 😍

[@KM-qk1oz]

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

[@bigsiv]

How's it holding up? Do you prefer the paint over wrap? Thank you!

[@angelmendoza6455]

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

[@ryangracey1254]

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.

[@EduardoToxqui]

So the civic coupe has the same moldings? how much did you have to cut down to make them fit. Thanks in advance.

[@nomad509]

Anthony, @GDAVIS would love what you're talking about at 11:37 and the following music would definitely set the vibe 🤣

It made me smile because I have all of these accessories and more. Nothing is too good for my wonderful DC5 ❤ you think these items are bad? I searched for about 5 years to find a clean OEM RSX car cover that I just absolutely had to have but CANT EVEN USE BECAUSE I HAVE THE FULL OEM ASPEC KIT!!!

I have a set of floor mats just like the ones in your video pic plus the ones for the back seat, plus the thick plastic ones for winter. I would have sold em both to u for 200$. They have just been sitting on my moms front porch for about 2 years

Ive been putting off the door window trim, I did do the outer B pillar plastic and the door seal that goes with it on the top last year, that black plastic is a pain in the ass, its like its meant to be broken or use special tools to remove it

Some suggestions MR AllKanthony for more oem plus/type r Build 54102-S6M-R00 Dc5 Integra Shift knob 90310-ST7-Z00 OEM Honda Shift Knob bolt And maybe some OEM type r or stock Shift boot and steering wheel ? Loving the RSX content

[@JonHop1]

Nah he should just get the Acuity Shifter.. Some OEM parts are just nothing compared to the aftermarket. And the Acuity Shifter is just beautiful and feels 10x better than the OEM shifter. And the weighted Acuity knobs are a lot better too.

[@ericxhcurioso3357]

I don't know about that we'll just have to wait what he gonna do with it

[@JonHop1]

@@ericxhcurioso3357 I hope he upgrades parts properly. In the RSX community, 100% oem isnt necessarily wanted. Certain upgrades are needed... The shifter is 100% an upgrade that needs after market solutions. That, and the CMC(needs em1 or em2), should change out the detents and shift selector springs. These are upgrades pretty much all enthusiasts do anyway and make the car a lot better to shift. Motor mounts (hardrace or Hasport) are also needed. They are night and day changes to performance.

[@christmaschris487]

Silver paint with badly flaked window molds, but hearing how you fully scrap then rewrap makes me wonder if I should fully scrap to expose all the silver underneath and leave it as is because it kind of matches the pant. Lazy not replacing them, but silver on silver might look passable… at least cleaner and better than flakey

Even though it's my gf's I still act like I own it hahaha. It's awesome that I found out you're building one and I think it's great you're documenting everything even the small stuff like floor mats. I'm inspired to do the same with her RSX and my car too! Since it's my girl's car I'm not going to do anything crazy like turbocharging or engine swap. I'm thinking of ricing it up with a type r wing, wheels and a daily drivable lowering springs first since the mileage is so low I feel like I can get away with splurging on those mods right away. can't wait for more!
