Few CHI autoshow pics

Here's some pics I took from the Honda/Acura displays at the Chicago Autoshow:

Most of you have probably allready seen: TL A-spec concept




Nice Cut-up of the TL


Honda's SUT


Honda Accord Coupe with mods




RSX with mods


I asked a guy there about getting a set of those rims on the RSX for my TSX and they told me Acura will offer them in 17"
I think these might be it:

Nice pics mang!

I went to the Chicago Auto show on Saturday. I took a lot of pics, especially that RSX, TL A-Spec, and that black TSX with OEM body kit. I just need to find a place to upload my pictures from the show.

I can't believe that I overlooked that red Accord.

the TL A-spec looks amazing. But, what's up with the modified RSX?

Agree, they really ruined the taillights.

I saw the normal TL in Philadelphia...it looks really good up close and in person. It has more character lines than pictures can show.

Don't worry guys, they won't produce this version of the TL A-spec (2nd sentence in last pic).

I wasn't too big on the nose of the A-spec concept


Better veiw of the rear


Here are the specs (appoligies for the flash):

I think that TL is awesome. Its different, plus that red leather is so tight. The exhaust on the back is nice. So are the brushed aluminum pieces. They need something like that with the TSX...not just the A Spec, but the A spec and some like that TL.

I think these might be it:
Those are the 18" optional wheels for the TL. I'm not sure if they'll fit the TSX though. The TSX wheels share the same offset and width (17" x 6.5") as the '02-'03 TL-S, but the 2004 TL has wider wheels now (17" x 8"). I do think that they look sweet. I think everyone will agree on that one.

DAMN! that accord is bad ass!!

WOW! im very impressed with it!

the TL looks nice, i'm likeing the "wide-body kit".......but, i have NEVER liked the front bumper.....to me the TL in general looks like a bloated women.........

now, if you put the interior and engine of the TL with the exterior of the TSX......WOW! *starts drooling*

yup.

Thanks for posting the pictures. I was curious what the color coding on the cut-outs TL referred to.

Hey, didn't they have anything worthwhile to show off about the TSX????

Actually, I believe the TSX's stock wheels are 17"x7.0" in size, and isn't the '02 TL-S's the same?

Anyhow, hopefully someone here will have access to someone who owns an '04 TL with those optional 18"x8.0 wheels and test-fit them on the TSX. Frankly, I don't see why they wouldn't fit. The stock wheels are recessed enough in the TSX's wheel wells that the esthetic benefit of a wider wheel would be make it closer to flush with the fender and thus perfection! I'd buy those wheels in a second if they'll fit. I think they are beautiful. If I have some free time, I will try and collect images and photoshop them on a TSX. Anyone here care give me some links to some pics I can use?

I actually took over 300 pictures the last time I went to the show...but I'm slightly under 300 this time since I was limited on time...and I missed out on a few companies. I recommend going during the week as it won't be that crowded. I went on opening day (Friday) and it was not crowded at all...just too bad I only had 5 hours to look around

Here's the NSX that was there (you can see the GS430 in the background):


This was the only TSX that really stood out (body kit and different wheels)...I think this is the one Agent_Chen was talking about.


As far as other car manufacturers go, I was really impressed with Ford's GT and Mustang:








I don't know why, but I love this shot:


This Jag is pretty sweet too!!

Yeah, I'm probably going to go twice again this year. Normally the Atlanta Auto Show runs from Wednesday through Sunday I believe. I'll probably go Wednesday and then again on Friday night...I might even take the day off (or a half day) and go...we'll just have to see. I love taking pictures of cars...too bad it's just really dark in there for pictures.

I was bored so I Pshopped the optional 18" TL wheels shown above on a TSX...

Too bling? I don't know if the gunmetal/anthracite-ish color would look this shiny in real life because the wheels were taken from an indoor shot but looks pretty sweet to me.

TL's brembos would be nice too.

They look ok, but I want the 2004 S2000 wheels on my TSX. I think they are the same size, and I love the look and finish of those wheels....I'm sure they cost a ton though.
