It's probably the one that used to be white with black designs on the side, and now its been painted red....unless there are two tsx's in cali with fender flares.
Does anyone have any pictures of this car? I think it looks pretty good from what i can see.

Cool, he's repping air runner.
I remember seeing a thread with this car in it as well. I believe it was white then painted candy red.

I saw this car in person and those who don't like it here would definitely change their mind if they saw it close up. Some items on the car might be over the edge, but overall fit, form, and finish on the car is excellent. And yes, it's turbocharged.

I still can't get used to the fad of wider reared (or staggered wheeled) FWD cars...it's counterintuitive IMO and almost poseur-ish
On a show piece, I do like the color though...

Basically, all of the advantages you'd gain on a RWD are hindrances on a FWD.

^ Okay so its just technically not well put right? Those guys made it seemed like it looks different or something. This is an intellectual annoyance then haha, weird. Sorry, but I just find it strange to be bothered by something like that. Anyway, you learn something new everyday, thanks!
Edit
Nevermind what I said about what those guys "made it seem", he was talking about the looks that don't differ froma RWD and FWD and not the technical set up.

If you want to look like a RWD, buy a RWD people!
