Additional equipment includes Premium White Pearl paint, Ebony leather upholstery, a sunroof, fog lights, a Type R–style rear spoiler, Koni dampers with Eibach springs, 17″ five-spoke wheels, a Hybrid Racing V3 shifter, and a Power Acoustik touch-screen head unit. This modified RSX Type-S is offered at no reserve in Canada with service records, a dyno sheet, spare parts, clean US and Canadian Carfax reports, and Ontario registration in the seller’s name.

The car is finished in Premium White Pearl and features a sunroof, fog lights, a front spoiler, side skirts, splash guards, tinted windows, a rear window wiper, and a Type R-style rear wing painted to match the body. Intake air is drawn through modified headlight openings. The seller notes paint chips on the front bumper and by the driver-side headlight along with a repaired rust bubble on the driver-side quarter panel.

There is exposed wiring in the center stack, and the seller states the factory interior equipment is included in the sale.
