The TSX is an Acura, which is a luxury brand. The EuroR is a 4 door Type R. They do to different things. You really can't compare the two cars. Can you do up a TSX in tasteful fashion..of course you can. They are beautiful cars from the factory. That means you don't have to add much more to it make it look good. There are many ( I can think of two in my area) that are great examples of what I am referring to. Why do most Evos, Supras, Porches, WRXs and lambos not have aftermarket bodykits put on by their owners?

Any cheap car, especialy Asian, that has been "upgraded" with after-market parts(exaust, body kits, nitrous, spoilers, speakers, lights, etc...)in an attempt to make it faster and/or "pimpin". In reality, instead of making a car better, "ricing it up" makes it utterly and completly gay. Rice cars are easily beaten in races by American and European sports cars. Also, anyone who owns a rice car is looked down upon and seen as shameful by non-ricers. Rice cars are typically driven by young lower and middle class Asians, Hispanics, whiteboys and even some African Americans.

An automobile, generally of import classification, that is souped up and characterized by use of stickers and decals that do not match any manufacturer of the car, spoilers that look like airplane landing gear, and hideous paintjobs and fart cans. See also rice rocket.

A term that Americans use to describe Superior performance asian cars out of jealousy. These cars are products of Honda, Toyota, Subaru, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Lexus, and Acura. Jealousy comes from the superior looks, engine, reliabilty, street cred, luxury in which American cars are clearly inferior to. These cars are driven by any class of people. Some of these cars may be heavily modified for looks, performanace, or both.

So you would disagree with making an RSX into a replica type R? or an SC300 into a Soara? Different strokes for different folks. There are many evos with body kits. Heck even Ralliart and Mitsubishi provide a lip kit for the Evos. The majority of supras I come across are running atleast a lip kit. Quite a few are running wide body kits. Porsche owners try to get the GT3 or even Gemballa, Techart and the likes etc parts to put on their car.
The two cars are based off the same chassis, He may have liked the Euro R but because he can't get one, decided to modify a TSX

Sorry if I like simplicity. To me less is more in this case.
A lip kit is not a body kit. One replaces body panels and the other adds to them.
The kit on the TSX is a Mugen kit not even the factory EuroR kit.
At least the tranny may last considering its an auto. The manuals are garbage. The break all the time.
