what splitter is this? acura tsx Speed World Challenge
Anyone any idea what brand this splitter is? (if it is a brand splitter???) Or would it be custom made?

I would like to know if the Speed TSX has the OEM lipkit or not??? It seems like there's side, but no front and rear. Anyone has another picture of this sexy Speed TSX in different view?

It's custom and if you saw it up close, you wouldn't want it. 
It's made from carbon, but it's attached with pop rivets. Functional,
, pretty,

You can see more of it in this shot I took at Mid Ohio (caution, big file): http://static.flickr.com/12/17931425_9a709cec55_o.jpg

Anyway, I took these pictures at the chicago auto show.
The close up was actually for the intake duct but it's a closer shot of the splitter.

I saw the splitter up close when I was at Laguna Seca last year. IMO, it looks pretty good. I'd love to have one for my Prelude (the track whore), but I wouldn't want one for my TSX because it will just get scratched up and broken very quickly.
Splitter
for track, 
for street.

The arrow is pointing at a 20th aniversary logo of acura.
The person who put the pointer there thinks it is special... I think?

Everyone and their e-aerodynamicist attitude...
"Big ugly wings..."
People on the internet are the only ones who care what it looks like. That wing is there for a reason, as is the front lower aerodynamic device. If you took them off so that the car looked "better," it would be considerably slower.
At least one person understands this concept.

Now the other concept you need to understand is how all of this is completely useless on our public roads.

However, this wing is on a car that needs it, and my reply was in reference to people applying thier street car "wings are gay and ricey" mentalities to a race car that isn't driven on the streets.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and is entitled to it.
Some people just don't like the look and are allowed to voice their opinion, regardless of what car its on. No need to throw a fit over it.

But I like throwing fits, that's what I'm here for...
I already knew I was an asshole, so that's no news to me. Glad to be of service.
You don't like me telling people they're retarded ban me
... while you're at it ban everyone that tells me I'm an idiot too... you might lose a few mods though so I'm sure you won't.

Alright cool it down dude, you don't need to be obnoxious. Basically I agree with your post #26, although only two or three people referred to the looks of the wing, and not "everyone" .
As for my post, it was written in the same optic as Dan Martin's, and based on what the original post seemed to mean. It's all about interpretation.

I didn't say it wasn't functional. My opinion of its looks was from the perspective that I would never put one on my TSX.

Or am I thinking of a different member?
btw - what wheels are on that? Kind of looks like Rota Subzero, which I'm sure are knockoffs to whoever made the original design??
