if they did that to the TSX itll look just like the solara.... poor tsx

I agree, it has some phonetic meaning to the name "acura" like acurate. This of course, probally does not work well outside of the english speaking culture (as we know there is no acura brand in japan)

where "honda" is just an old company name..

damn, i guess i gotta upload it somewhere else..

Jerky

IF anything Acura needs to build an upscale convertible, not one based off the TSX or RSX. Instead of moving downmarket they need to move upmarket to actually compete with some of the big dogs. a CL coupe and Convertible would be nice but i dont think it should have the same style as the TL as in interior or exterior

email it to me at gfxdave99 at yahoo.com and i'll throw it up in my carpix folder for you

The RSX has a 160hp engine, halogen headlights, and the worst leather in the history of the world (that I've seen) for 21,000 dollars....

The S2000 has a 240hp engine, HID headlights, and a very plush interior with an engine start button. All luxury features, on a 33,000 dollar HONDA


Something seems very wrong with that picture to me.

Werd... Acura S2K (s2000 get it har har) but the rsx wouldnt really have a place in the honda lineup because if it was a honda it wouldnt come loaded like the rsx or any acura for that matter which would put it in direct competition with the civic coupe.

gfxdave99

Okay i was inspired to do a lil photochopping

If the TSX and and S2000 had a baby

The Civic and Integra (RSX in Japan) exist in the same market under the Honda name........

i did this like 2 years ago so i wasnt at my prime. personally i think it pretty ugly now that i look at it.
butttt, here ya go

Jaydef03

heres some other Acura work i did.... lemme know if u want me to post any other photoshops. i have chopped most popular cars.

Jaydef03

these are posted in chronological order (old to new). so you see the development in quality.

personally the rear view black CL is my favorite. its a modified TL A-spec with a aggressive roofline, fender flares, lighting effects, etc

Jaydef03

ohh... some other shit i found from awhile ago....

Jaydef03

this rsx^ here is a real oldie as you can tell its pretty rough.

i really like the rsx rear view one. bc i lowered that ricey Type R spoiler and reshaped the side window. (two things that drove me nuts about the original design)

Jaydef03

oh, and also that damn hatchback handle looked terrible. the taillights had a lot of potential too. Acura's rsx design has a good basis, but there are some things that made it look very cheap, which i tried to improve

Acura definitely needs a competitor in the 350Z, Audi TT, BMW Z3, SC430 market. This vehicle should have a hard top and a convertible option. Ideally that machine would be built off the S2000 platform with a V6 pushing atleast 300HP. With Acura's value proposition that vehicle will be in the high 20 or low 30s and would sell like hot cakes.

Ofcourse, ditch the RSX or move it downmarket to Honda. Just my twocents

Jaydef03

i guess no one cares about the photoshops. hahah

SeCsTaC

not true man, those are some gorgeous chops dude seriously, especially that one of the Mercedes looking CL and the blue RSX and the 2007 CL. Gorgeous man! Acura should make that

Jerky

they look so real, people dont realize how much work you went to

is this something you're currently doing as a career or aspiring to?

very nice!

au contraire......I find them very impressive.

Jaydef03

eh more of a hobby i took up in HS. and then my first year or two of college i did it every so often bc its so damn time consuming. id say it takes about 7 hours for a serious chop.

i have very little interest in doing it now though. i do not have the time whatsoever... calling it quits is fine by me, just as long as i know i still have the skill

i still use photochop all the time now, but its for architectural rendings for school

Jaydef03

to some, it seems that this type of thing does not take a lot of time. but i tend to alter many parts of the car that are not noticable to most viewers.

such as in the blue RSX. that roofline has been lowered about 4 inches. the lower trim has been given an aggressive stance, sloping upwards towards the rear. the A and C pillars have also been drastically angled. this overall gives the car a very slick look. the same treatments were also done in all of the CL chops as well.
