2004 Turbocharged Acura RSX DC5
Tuning does not necessarily mean going over the top with paint and body work, a car can look as cool as you want it to, in the case of this Acura the owner Joshua Roman knew what he wanted to do on the surface a cool looking machine, underneath it is anything but that.
The suspension needed changing, how the car sits makes a lot of difference to the final product, but it starts here and he installed HKS Hipermax Coilovers for a stiffer ride.
A cool set of Ray Gram Lights at 17 x 8.5 fitted with 245/40-17 BFGoodrich sports tyres, the standard track rubber no matter where you are located.
With some adjustments to the body, making sure that body does not fits in the right places, and you have to say that it does with this one, the cars lines are not rubbed out to make it streamlined they are shaped with performance in mind.
In all this car, beautiful specimen is a work of Acura art as visualised by a master craftsman.
