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

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
The precision that you use sometimes just blows my mind. LOVE THESE VIDEOS!
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.
Been loving the RSX content!
The small details make the biggest difference!
Appreciate you watching! Agreed!
Love love love Anthony ! Can’t wait to see how this turns out! Have a good taste
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.
True!
Nice man. Looking forward to watching you do it again!
These are all things that MUST be done! I love doing all these same details on my projects.
One guy told me $500 for the 2 front all weather mats, i bought another rsx and it same with literally brand new oem type S mats with the all weather mats also, the guy also threw in brand new door moldings also, seeing how much you spent makes me feel really lucky
I found a full set of four brand new mats for my 01 Prelude at a Honda dealer in Canada. Don’t know how they actually found them up but they were in the original plastic packaging. 500$ 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 😎
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 UA-cam videos
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.
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 😍
Great work 👍🏽💪🏽 it’s all in the details 🔥
Thanks for watching!
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.
So the civic coupe has the same moldings? how much did you have to cut down to make them fit. Thanks in advance.
Just subscribed. About to park my 06 type S for a while to go on the same journey your on with yours.
Looking good!👍
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
Thanks for watching! Hope you can get it up and running again!
love this build
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
Anthony, @GDAVIS would love what you're talking about at 11:37 and the following music would definitely set the vibe 🤣
thanks for the video bro! maybe shifter upgrade next?
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
How's it holding up? Do you prefer the paint over wrap? Thank you!
When evo guys realize that Honda’s get more views 😂. Glad to see this content.
Anthony will literally do anything to get out of mounting that barn door. Lol jk looking good man 💯
Great video like always... definitely rack up on parts its pricey but soon it will be like the 90s honda all discontinued & then the parts pages going to over price for everything like its gold get what you can now I wish I had my dc2 15yrs ago when parts was still available I wish I could buy dam near everything new again
Right? That’s why I’m trying to do it now before it’s too late!
After seeing the old floor mats, I can say that it’s well worth getting the new ones.
Absolutely!
Jostle lol well after going all out on the floormats which as a "twilight era" Honda owner I know all too well, you're gonna have to pony up and go full replacement OEM headlights.
If you plan on going with the Integra TypeS door sills let me know. I spent super long trying to find them online and I was only finding the TypeR apparently the TypeS ones got discontinued but I found a spot that has them and they arent known by lots of people.
Im so glad my type s has them XD
Great content! Can you tell the website you got the oem floor mats?
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
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
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
Sounds good thanks man!
You aren't wrong. The whole set of all weather mats cost me 350 but they make the car look so much nicer
Agreed! It all adds up super fast though unfortunately lol
I bought the oem floor mats on Amazon before it went discontinued for $80 and then it it "lost" in L.A shipping center
Sold my mint 91 CRX si floor mats for $500 shipped. Last year. I do kinda wish I didn’t now but still.
My heel went right through my OEM floormat into the carpet below! How do you wrap the moldings?
Anthony what Acura wholesale website did you find the floor mats?
I have a 2007 honda civic si FG2 coupe and my oem floor mats are $215 just got them and trying to buy all the oem parts I need for this car before they stop making them I’m going too keep the car forever
Wow I wish I could do this but I’m too cheap, them new floor mats tho. I found mint base ones and run those. My car came without floor mats
It made me smile because I have all of these accessories and more. Nothing is too good for my wonderful DC5 ❤ you think these items are bad? I searched for about 5 years to find a clean OEM RSX car cover that I just absolutely had to have but CANT EVEN USE BECAUSE I HAVE THE FULL OEM ASPEC KIT!!! Lmfaoooo and it doesn’t fit with the Aspec high wing. Totally fine with me! Still a prized possession for the car
That’s awesome! Some of those oem accessories are awesome
@@ALLDAYANTHONY yea it’s really been a fun kind of “treasure hunt” searching for these discontinued parts. I’ve had my RSX for 12 years now and loved every minute of it! I really hope you enjoy yours! Btw if you’re looking for an OEM bumper bra for the car let me know, I have a couple BNIB. Might have some other stuff laying around as well and I’d be glad to help out!
sound just like I did when I replaced the moldings on my 08 si coupe....lol
any tips for removing odors that might be coming from the ac vents i have an rsx as well.
That’s like my door panels for my 98 civic coupe 😂
Could you please get a 2010 civic as your next project? I've got one and i would love to see how you can improve it
I have a set of floor mats just like the ones in your video pic plus the ones for the back seat, plus the thick plastic ones for winter. I would have sold em both to u for 200$. They have just been sitting on my moms front porch for about 2 years
Would you still sell?
Do you mean the one for the cargo area or the rear passengers? Trying to finish out my brother’s RSX
being from Toronto, every single honda/acura I've owned; I've kept the original cloth floor mats underneath the oem rubber ones year round. I've basically kept the cloth floor mats brand new as a result of this.
That’s the way to do it!
Hey,I buy my parts for my 01Prelude online from Toronto Honda parts,shipping to the west coast is still reasonable and the have the cheapest deals on super hard to find OEM parts for the’lude.
@@Whateva67 nice dude! Toronto Honda is where I locally pick up my parts actually, they have the best prices with the member discount. I order them online and pick up in store.
@@Whateva67 we have a dozen honda dealers in the area but none of them beat toronto honda in selection and pricing; The parts counter has banners of all the classic hondas s2000, civic si, optional HFP parts, etc.. good dealership.
@@gallardo20000 I can still find some good things for my lude at local dealers here but things like the complete floor mat set are super rare so kudos to them for finding them. Hi from British Columbia
You mention a website where you got the floor mats from, what website is it?
What about the base model ones I own a 02 Acura RSX an have the oem ones with the rsx badges would love to get some new OEM ones
I managed to get a nice OEM all weather trunk cover for like $15 at a junk yard
For my accord
honda parts are so ridiculously cheap and easy to come by, when i got my acura i figured it would be similar, boy was i wrong.
Awesome video! Are you planning on getting the oem wheels?
If I can find a set that won’t cost me another arm yes lol
the sideskirts for the ep3s are dwindling in supply and getting more expensive. owning any car at this point is not a cheap proposition anymore
How I get the seafood salad off the hood spill?
I need your help with a build miss ya red ant 😢
my buddy surprised me last night he got a orange rsx type-s six speed manual with only 100k miles from canada. so everything is in km, but he payed 8k for it it has wheels and its on coils but he got it from a old guy and the trunk is full of oem honda parts like a type r shift knob and other cool stuff.
That sounds like a treasure!
@@ALLDAYANTHONY I want one so bad, but for now just my em2.
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
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.
I don't know about that we'll just have to wait what he gonna do with it
@@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.
Damn, I sold my type s floor mats in brand new condition for $175 😂 I didn’t want them because you can’t use them at the track so I just run no floor mats
No way lol
I see that barn door is still in the garage 😅😂
Don’t remind me haha
Anthony, where can I find true authentic window molding for a Honda civic 00 coupe? To many dodgy websites I’m finding. Trying to keep her as original as possible like you👍🏼
Honestly, eBay. I’ve had a lot of good luck recently with Japan sellers
Plastidipping the mirror trim would also work
Wait til u see the prices of all the OEM Honda Access parts... (Blue Ion fogs, Window visors, ect)
Every week anthony!
I can’t believe it myself!
@AllDayAnthony I have some OEM DC5-R parts if you are interested.
Adhd Ocd Anthony lmao. Bro i got the same exact problem but on my ek hatch rn. Have to used it for winter bc im selling my w204. So i could make the ek and 93 toyota pickup truck better, bc jdm forever.
Got a full set of 04 acura el rubber and carpet floor mats for $35 cad with a trunk lid :)
That’s a deal!
Know the feels. My rsx-s didnt come with floor mats or the trunk cover smh
I don’t know why most people get rid of them. Even if there’s holes in them, keep them in the car for Christ sake lol
When are u gonna install your new manifold and throttle body!? I NEED TO SEE AND HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS ON EM
Trying to find time to get it done! Still need to order a manifold gasket
@@ALLDAYANTHONY bet can't wait!
Oem+ is the way to go. Have an 05 Type S with about 89k miles in very good shape. Next up for me is some PDR ( light hail :/ )
I was going to go for the A spec look, but mine has some factory weather trim/splash guards so I decided to keep her "stock".
Good thing I work at Acura and get cost of the part plus 10% hell yea and your Acura parts are always on back order lol so I’m surprised you got oem
Do a mugen body kit like lip rear lip n side skirt anothe UA-camr has it but didn’t do a good explanation on installment I think his name is Paul something green rsx
No joke window moldings are stupidly priced for what they are. Even the ones for my Tacoma were $50 per side and I finally replaced them a couple years ago while the parts were still available.
I prefer OEM parts for my 95 Civic EJ1.
so cool! I've also always wanted to own one of these too! in fact I just picked up a 05' RSX Base for my gf with 26k miles on it! Crazy right? Previous owner was a grandma that barely drove it. 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!
Id only use the new mats at a car show or something. Save them for when you sell it... you know you will.. lol
I’m keeping these damn things if I ever sell it lol. They’ll be worth a fortune someday haha
Please use Honda Mugen MF10 wheels ❤
Day 3 of asking for more junkyard videos ❤
Jesus, I thought my 8th gen Civic Si mats were expensive! 🤯
Right, I couldn’t believe it lol
Are you going to do aftermarket wheels? If so I love the look of volk ce28’s on an rsx (but very expensive lol)
Volks are overrated and way overpriced, screw that.. There is zero point in going with a forged wheel for a street car.
I paid 50 bucks for my trunk liner for my tl on eBay.
what rubber mats do you use on your civic?
I use cheap Walmart all seasons lol. They do the job. I have the oem carpet mats under them
Adding the rubber mats or replacing the window trim is not “OEM+”, you’re just adding the OEM accessories that were available for it or replacing worn out OEM trim.
Parts are going super high then average, I work in parts industry
W video
Thanks for watching man
Will you be adding window visors? I always that the window visors were a great addition to cars. Not everyone's taste but I think it adds a little ohmp to the look
The Honda Access Window Visors are around $500 now too lol
500 for mats i spent 1300 on an oem da integra arm rest, and 2200 on a oem plus lip kit. Please don't tell my wife
Do a 7th gen accord!
Someday!
lmao mine were $40 they just didnt come with the rsx type s badge- no way in hell ima pay that much for mats 💀
Dude if you think its bad I have the same issue with my TSX
Crazy right?
Roughly 130k cars ever made, depending on reports. Last one made around 15 years ago. Scarcity has its price, but daily driving my ‘02 and Love driving a car I don’t see anyone else with is priceless. Question, weren’t these badged as Acura not Honda?
Specially for the 05-06 like wtf!? Headlights are like $100 cheaper for 02-04 😡😂😂
As a ep3 owner i know the pain of the cost of those oem parts.
I thought paying 200 for ep3 si matts was high.
Wrinkle Black Paint ;)
It’s okay happens when your Lao ram 500 worth
Does Hector have a last name? And can he pronounce it?
He does but I heard he was going legit
If you think rsx floor mats go for a lot, look into del sol zig zag floor mats. Ridiculous
I can only imagine!
20 min video for floor mats and trim 😅
I thought Honda parts where expensive. Then I got into the VIP scene. Honda shit is dirt cheap compared to VIP.
Wouldn’t that be a lot easier if you just would’ve remove the door panel
Not really no
Shoot Del sol used floor mats go for $800 to $1000 😪
Crazy right?!
