STORY
I purchased the vehicle from a salvage dealer in State College, PA from eBay. At the time it was completely wrecked from front to rear. I daily drove the RSX through high school and even took it to my first prom. After I graduated, I quickly worked my way up to owning my shop and set this car aside as a project. The parts have changed from year to year in an attempt to keep the performance on par with the trends. I completed every aspect of work on this car aside from the tuning and roll cage, which was handled by RT Tuning and Elite JDM. This car was the test subject for every service I offer at Croll's Customs.
