Michael Regspi was looking for a larger show car when he decided on the 2004 Acura TSX. “My last show car in the early 2000s was a 2-door, 2-seater Honda Del Sol. That's why I wanted to modify a bigger car that could fit my family,” he writes. Thanks to a sponsored sound system from Planet Audio, coupled with dozens of other aftermarket parts, Regspi say he needs only a Kraftwerks supercharger before his build is complete.
