Tuned TSX/Others @ SEMA
But I am not feeling the red paint. IMO, it would have looked better with all black as the color.

well its got an amazing paint job, but its not that special. the yellowed headlights are interesting, and it needs a camber kit bad.
what is with every modified TSX having a GT wing?

with a little bit of research I found this post on TOV from way back
which makes sense since it says Monterrubio and Tech2, so I'm guessing they'll be racing this in the SCCA WC next year. They have Pierre Kleinubing's Realtime Racing's TSX at SEMA as well.
Also, Tech2 Motorsports will be campaigning at least one TSX next year. Judging from Andrew Monterrubio's strong performance in an ITR last year they should make a good showing this season.

The camber is so bad that it looks like the car's suspension gave away... I wonder what the skidpad would be with so much negative camber...
Very nice brake kit tho...

Hmm. Terrible camber. Terribly ricy with the rollcage and CF panel covering the instruments. Obviously, with that kind of camber it has no function.
Naope not liking it. At all.

But I may also be way out in the left field...

But for the rest, if it is a racecar, then I have nothing to say. Function over fashion.

What does camber mean? THe car just looks droppeD? Is it the fact that the tires are so close to the body in the front, opposed to the large gap between the tires and the body behind them? And whats up with the grill? People who put the grills on themselves on this site seemed to have the fitting done 10x better then that.

People use negative camber to allow them to corner better,
A snippet from Edmunds.com tech center:
Camber
If you were to stand directly behind or in front of one of your tires to view its vertical angle, you would be looking at its camber. Actually, camber is most often set between 0 and -2 degrees, so you'd be hard pressed to see any lean at all. Negative camber refers to a wheel that is leaning inward with its top closer to the vehicle than its bottom. Positive camber, surprise-surprise, is the opposite, and means that a wheel leans out with its top further from the vehicle than its bottom. Many of the original Volkswagen Beetles had noticeable negative camber in the rear tires which made them look like they were squatting all of the time. A slight amount of negative camber setting is desirable because as a vehicle turns the outside wheels get pushed into a more positive camber state. This results in a camber of zero, or a straight up-and-down wheel, while cornering, which provides the largest contact patch and the greatest traction for handling.

I guess it depends on how you define rice. I define rice as anything moddified. There is some good and bad rice but rice regardless.
