So.. what's meaning of doing this? is it going to be sort of Type S version of TLX in the future or they are just showing off the TLX what the changes can make it sporty?
Hopefully they'll put some effort into it this time and not just slap some wheels, coilovers, a bunch of stickers, and some Pepboys parts on it and call it a day like they did last year with the RLX

to answer your question, no.
The SEMA Show is the premier automotive specialty products trade event in the world (PLEASE NOTE: THE SEMA SHOW IS NOT OPEN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC). It draws the industry’s brightest minds and hottest products to one place, the Las Vegas Convention Center. As part of the AAIW, the SEMA Show attracts more than 100,000 industry leaders from more than 100 countries for unlimited profit opportunities in the automotive, truck and SUV, powersports, and RV markets. SEMA Show 2013 drew more than 60,000 domestic and international buyers...
The VIP-style Acura RLX gives the luxury sedan a different appeal, with carbon fiber exterior accents and 21-inch wheels from AVS. Prototype Tein Street Flex coil overs make possible the lowered RLX, which has a big brake kit and an Evasive Motorsports exhaust system with four titanium exhaust tips. Inside, you'll find custom neck pillows with a Jordan Brand-inspired elephant print.

Looks like Galpin Auto Sports is mostly a Ford tuner, but comparing their gallery with Evasive's (which did the RLX), Galpin seems to have much better aesthetic taste...
I can only hope they end up with something that is street legal. Otherwise whats the point other than to bring back the bad memories of the prototype and how our hopes got crashed when we saw the production model...
^I don't know if its the lighting, but that exhaust thing at the rear doesn't blend very well with the shape of the rear bumper. Up close and black&white looks good, but from a distance something is wrong.
On the positive side, the wheels look way better than anything Acura currently offers.
(Waiting to see the real thing at SEMA next week...)

I love it. They painted the shield black to minimize its offensiveness too a la 4G
