My Euro R at HIN Charlotte, NC

Here are some pics of my car after the seven hour drive to nc. The green tape is to pretect it from rock chips. The car is slammed right now so the rims look even better. I will post more pics from the show sunday night.

yes I drove all the way with the tape on so I could prevent as many rock chips as I could

It took about an hour to put it all on and about 10 min to take it all off

nice...wish I could be out in PA so I can put my car in shows. In CA, I'd waste the registration free, since there's no chance I'd ever place.

It was good meeting you today.

You might have a shot at winning hottest jdm if the judges know what to look for. I didnt see any jdm candidates roll through the gate in my part of the building.

Did you get a chance to look at the acurabot?

It was great meeting you today also. I didnt notice any JDM cars in my sections either really. I kind of forget if the NSX in front of my car said acura or honda haha. I took second at a local show in my area against a JDM desol that had basically every JDM part except the motor and right hand drive.

Also what is the Acurabot

The acurabot is a DC2 integra..i think

It has TSX headlights and TL tail lamps.

I see it in magazines all the time...it pretty hot.

But yeah if you didn't see any jdm cars over there then you seriously might win something.

At this point I would just like to point out it's a TSX, not a 1961 Ferrari 250GT SWB headed for Amelia Island... the tape is over-kill.

I admire you effort into making this an all JDM euro-R. The tape job is awesome!!

One thing though.... for a show car, i think you need bigger rims. With the lip of the rim and the drop you had, it looks like your car is riding on 16s

I agree with you. I don't drive my car on roadtrips anymore for just that reason. I did it once and have a few knicks in the front, and don't want to add to them. Guess some of us take a little more pride in our rides.

Either way, looks like you had the tape in all the right areas to prevent any damage. Good luck with the show.

Such dedication, but I guess it'll be all worth it in the end.

iamhomin, who should consider "taping" his TSX during long road trips.

That is so cool! I would love to show off my TSX, but its not that awesome looking. So what do you have to do for them and what perks do you get?
