Acura RSX Type-S Goes in for Paint! | Type R vs A Spec Spoiler?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 жов 2022
- In today's video, my Acura RSX Type S goes in for some MUCH needed Paint work! With the hood, bumper, roof, and spoiler resprayed, it looks better than ever! I also debunk the Myth of the RSX/Integra Type R vs. A Spec Spoiler debate. Enjoy!
With 190k Miles on my RSX Type S, the paint has obviously seen better days. Rather than getting a full paint job on the car, I opted to have the worst areas resprayed. Honda's are prone to Clear Coat failure more than other car brands due to the thinness of the clear coat and lack of UV protection. There's really not much that can be done other than a respray of that area. With this Honda project being less budget friendly, I bit the bullet and had Auto Express in Boise give those areas a fresh coat of Nighthawk Black Pearl! Dave gives us a quick run down of the painting process and what needs to be done due to all the rock chips. The Paint results are AMAZING!
Now it's time for the spoilers...and no I'm not talking about movie spoilers. In my first walkaround of the RSX, I explained that I had purchases a genuine OEM Honda Integra Type R Spoiler from Japan. In the time of it shipping to me, I also purchase a genuine OEM A Spec spoiler from my boy notunerhector. To my surprise, they are the EXACT same thing. No difference whatsoever in the part number, weight, look, etc. So I essentially bought two of the same damn thing. The difference between the eBay spoilers VS the OEM ones is the dip in the middle of the eBay spoiler. Anything genuine will have a smooth top to it.
I know this video is heavy in the talking portion, but I didn't have much time to film the paint process, just a quick paint update. With that said, I hope you guys still love the video. Next step is installing the A spec decklid and A spec spoiler on the RSX, can't wait!

I feel your excitement; nice job Anthony 🤜🏽
i been waiting for a another rsx vlog!! hype to see more stuff for the rsex! 🙏
Glad you like it man!
Cant wait for the next video keep up the good work!!
Thanks for watching man
Such a beaut, had one and reminisce everyday about it
I am going to have Auto Express paint my Evo 8 now because of this video so thanks for sharing!!!
can always appreciate a good respray
Makes a world of difference!
Thats awesome ! So happy for u the rsx looks perfect
Thanks man. It’s turning out great!
finally early for once, enjoying the process already!
It’s going well so far!
So freaking jealous man. I have way too many rock chips for Doctor Color chip. I chuckled when you were talking about your identical spoilers because it reminded me of when I bought two exactly same Toyota Racing Development replica body kits in the same year for my Cavalier. I made sure to order the authentic Toyota Supra bumper signal lights instead of knock off Depo crap.
Looking good bro!
Looks good, never knew about the A Spec package.
As always fking nice video man
dream car right there .... good stuff brotha
Thanks man!
I love this, I used to have a 99 civic ex coupe when you had yours and your videos would help so much and were so entertaining. I then sold the civic for double what I bought it for and bought my realistic dream, a black rsx type s, salvage title that needed a lot of tlc but for less $ than I sold my civic for so it was perfect. I have put so much repairs and upgrades into that car to get it to my taste and driving shape, then you released the video that you also got one. I couldn’t be happier that I can continue to watch a series on my car, again from you lol. Such a fun car to own!
Digging the videos! Especially since I have the pre facelift 02-04 gen 😅
Glad you like them!!
Looking fresh man
Thanks dude!
Just got done restoring my 06 Honda CR-V on my channel with the nighthawk black pearl paint color!
Nice video! I have an 04 type s looking to do the same thing due to clear failing.
It’s worth doing for sure!
Finally a local shop that can do a quality paint job and not have orange peel for days!! Definitely going to check them out soon for a repaint
You know whats crazy that some people ask to have orange peel because that's how the oem paint came from factory so they want it to look as close to a oem finish that they can get so it looks like original paint.
@@budgetbuild914 So sad that so many new cars nowadays come with that, can't imagine paying 80k+ for some of these newer performance cars and have the paint be so crappy
@@LucAnderson I know right back in the day okay but its 2022 why I don't understand all that money & you can't get a glass finish crazy
I vote for the OEM A-Spec wing, if you decide to source any of the A-spec parts, it'll flow much better!
Bro did you not watch or listen to the video he said they both are the same wing everything the same even the weight & same part # lol
Looks great. Maybe have them respray the headlights sometime in the future?
Headlights just need to be replaced honestly. Micro cracking in the lenses
looks great! how much did this job cost?
The hungry shopping carts are patiently waiting to taste that beautiful black paint
Hey bro ,is the last owner following what your doing to the RSX ? Think that would be cool to know,it's coming out awesome 👊🏼😎
Hey love the build! Would you sell your old trunk lid?
My nighthawk black 2006 Element EX-P is covered in that chalky looking clear coat failure. Gotta love Honda black paint, doesn't seem to last unless you baby it. Then again it was an Arizona car, but I'd rather have some clear coat failure than rust. Maybe one day I'll get it painted but it's on every painted plastic panel and while the metal parts aren't faded, (yet) 200k miles with many of those being in the Colorado mountains that's shot too. Even a big 5" dent in the roof from what I think was a massive rock that luckily didn't come through the windshield.
Honestly black Honda paint is just so delicate that unless it was waxed constantly, there’s no way to keep the clear failure from happening
I'm really surprised you didn't make plans to do PPF right away. As son as you get those front fenders polished to the way you like them I'd go have the PPF applied asap.
You have to wait for the paint to cure for about a month before you can wax/ceramic coat/ppf it. Or that's what I've been told.
I don’t think I’ll do ppf but if I did I would have to wait till the paint off gasses
I know the paint would need some time, but I kind of made the comment because you said you were hoping to avoid new rock chips. The best protection for your investment would be PPF. I also made the comment because I know you have experience working with wraps so I know you'd understand the benefits, also why I said ASAP.

I had a car accident yesterday after work. My daily is total wrecked. My positive car enthusiast attitude kicked in, "oh now i can definitely drive my ek hatch project car for 2years". My back and neck hurts tho.
How much did the paintwork cost? Looking to potentially do the same work on my black CRZ
I’ve been blessed enough to buy some cars new…nothing fancy. But twice I’ve had to run out while they are prepping the car and about to drill holes for the front plates 😅
That replica mini deck lid spoiler is the same one I have. It does not match all the OEM trunk holes. I ended up using flex tape to plug the holes on the trunk and then 3M’d the spoiler on
Yeah I figured there’s going to be some fitment issues with it
@@ALLDAYANTHONY I just use some plastic plugs match painted them and added a bunch of clear caulking from the inside and outside than wiped off any excess and after years they’ve been great.
Dam seen those spots on my hood for a while been wondering what they are. Guess my civic is due for new paint
Idk what it is but since the start of this series I'm seeing rsx's all over the place in the Bay area
perfect now i can watch something in my lunch 😁
Wooo! Thanks for watching!
I've seen some RSX High spoilers with a third brake light.
I know it's not OEM, but I prefer that over the third brake light we did get; on the trunk
That’s not OEM
@@freewulf_1214 literally what I just said but thank you
@@epicraptorman lmao good thing people know how to read 😅
@@miguelare3 must be a Honda boi thing
Lookin good.😉
Thanks fam!
If you don't mind me asking, what do you do for work?
Thanks for uploading on time for my lunch 🤣 btw if you ever wanna sell that championship type R wing let me know! I need a replacement for my beat up wing! Can’t find a OEM one at all.
I’ll probably keep this for the future. Who knows
For sure! The prices are definitely gonna rise. Can’t wait to see this build 🔥
Sh ghost
i thought there was never an ASPEC wing, also do u know if the aspec body kits were an add on from honda factory?
Please use Honda Mugen MF10 wheels ❤
Sell the old small spoiler with fade or one of the tall ones ?
I have a nice nighthawk black 01Prelude, I’m going to get the whole front end painted, lots of rock chips on hood and bumper so may as well do fenders too, have brand new genuine headlights to throw in at the same time.
It’ll make a big difference man. Hope you do it!
Ugh Prelude! 🤤🤤🤤
@@ALLDAYANTHONY would you sell one of your spoilers?
Hey Anthony, how much do you want for the white spoiler? Let me know, thanks
How’s it going bro , where did you get it resprayed at?
IT CAME OUT AMAZING FRESH CLEAR MIRROR LIKE LOOKING PAINT JOB & GLASS CLEAR COAT WORK I CAN ALREADY SEE AND PICTURE THE REAR WING PLUS SOME TIME AND YOOO HARD DETAILED WORK WITH THE PAINT CORRECTION IT'S GONNA LOOK 1OO % TIMEZ BETTER PLUS SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE WRONG IDEA ABOUT [H]ONDA O.E.M. PAINT & CLEAR COAT PEOPLE THINK THERE CHEAP AND YOU OF ALL PEOPLE KNOW THAT'S NOT TRUE THE BIG MISTAKE PEOPLE DO WITH NEW CARS IS ( ON A HOT SUNNY DAY WASH THEIR CARS TOSSING WASHING COLD KOOL WATER ON A HOT METAL SURFACE ) AND THAT'S THE PROBLEM AND MISTAKE IGNORANCE DOES IS DAMAGE THE CLEAR COAT AND STARTS TO DAMAGE AND FAILURE BEGINS BUT YOU KNOW HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR VEHICLES IF YOU CAN'T SET YOUR HAND ON A METAL PANEL WITHOUT IT BURNING FOR LONER THEN A MINUTE THEN THE CAR IS TO HOT WASH WHY DO YOU THING PROFESSIONAL DETAILERS WASH WAX POLISH PAINT CORRECTION ETC........ INDOORS YOU KEEP IT UP MAN THE R.S.X. IS COMING OUT BETTER EACH VIDEO THANKS ANTHONY ✌🏼OUT
Thanks for watching Noah! The correction will make a huge difference for sure
@@ALLDAYANTHONY WE KNOW THAT MAGIC YOU CAN PULL OF LIKE YOU DID WITH THE RED & WHITE CIVIC PLUS THE BLUE C.R.Z. WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH THE R.S.X. TYPE S IT'S GONNA LOOK LIKE A BLACK PIANO IN A LIVINGROOM BUT IT WILL BE A BLACK CLEAN CAR IN THE GARAGE LOOKING FORWARD FOR THAT VIDEO ANTHONY ✌🏼OUT
What was the cost of this work ?
What website did you buy the OEM championship white type R spoiler from Japan?
I’m calling it now… you’re getting/got the PWJDM gurney flap for the spoiler
🤔🤔🤔
I’ve been wanting to repaint my civic forever but I just have a hard time trying to find a legit place.
Price cost for the work done looking to get my integra im for the same work
Will you sell the other spoiler?
Idaho RSX gang 👀
👀
Ugh I wish my car was this clean
I believe you can do it!
Should have got a A-Spec style lip kit
I’m still on the fence on that, maybe someday!
Anthaniel, what's your favorite drivetrain set up? Most of your stuff is FF, but I'm curious if you'd ever get an FR/MR/4WD projects soon!
I would say AWD is my preferred
BRO DID THAT IN TWO DAYS ?
Who went out and bought a Acura rsx after Anthony put out his first video in his.
Yep me I couldn’t help myself 🎉
Haha congrats!!
You still got the spoiler bro?
Do you still have your grom?
It’s still around! I’ll have to make an update video on that eventually. It’s been awhile…
@@ALLDAYANTHONY yes please do make an update video👍
On the spoiler, not the same thing. There’s a difference between saying, “yeah man, this spoiler is straight from Japan”😂
i threw on my ebay a spec kit and got it painted. not the best idea
YES SIR I GOT A 2002 RSX TYPE S BLACK HAWK PEARL AND I AM NOT PAINTING SHIT! HONDAPNW DAILY DRIVEN!!
I’ll buy the extra one u don’t use
😍😍🔥🔥
“Do you know how much this is in spoilers ?!? This is absolutely frickin ridiculous “ 😂😂😂😂
What’s up with that evo over there? You never make content on it! Ha
Nobody likes the evo content lol. But it’s still my baby
Mugen type r
Looks like most of the 2000s Acura/Hondas have clearcoat failures. I got my NBP Acura TSX's hood and roof resprayed at 140k miles.
How much? Might just wrap mine
There’s an actual TSB for many of these cars. I know my 2008 Civic has clear coat failure on the roof and on the rear spoiler. Unfortunately the original owner never took care of it so nothing I can do now other than pay out of pocket to get it fixed. 😢
If the detailing products available now were available then, there may have been hope. But Honda had some clear coat issues in the mid 2000’s that they did address
@@ALLDAYANTHONY hey man just wondering how much did it run for the repaint?
@@azrael8890 depends on which body shop you go to, I paid $1500 for mine's
Bro compared chipped paint to cancer💀
1st 😇
Verified first!
Like what I’m seeing thus far. 🥲
Haha I figured you would!
