The longer I look at it the more I like it. Not the most attractive color out there but it is pulled off very well with the wheels/drop.

Color is growing on me. Didn't like it before.

In the end it is just a wrap. I personally enjoy keeping my car oem colors. if I were to change it would be another acura/honda oem color.
Honda Element Root Beer... mmmmmmm

I just wish they did more performance wise to give more inspiration.
The mod list is very lacking, especially for a sponsored car.

Intake and exhaust isn't on the market and most likely never will be; like the performance parts from the Sema Street Build last year.

Supercharger is on the market; and it is cool to know they just bolted that sucker on with stock internals. Just wish CT would develop something for the R series guys. Oh we'll. Not like it can't be done.

Also shows the 19s will look real good on there. Also shows how good the 8.5 fit under those fenders. Looks like 8.5 with a slightly lower offset would look pretty good.

Depends on what the lighting conditions are. Acura called the car "copper." Under the fluorescent SEMA lights it looked a little drab, but in broad daylight I bet it was awesome. Posted my pics in here:
