Default Tricked out on DIY Network on NOW

DIY Network is showing "Tricked out" right now.

They have an '00-'01 Silverstone S2000 with a VERY poorly fit CF hood, and CF lip.

They are installing an electronically adjustable wing on the trunk and "pop-out" canards in the front bumper.



This is as tacky as it gets!

They are installing the active aerodymics because he "tracks the car"

Of course, when they say track they mean "Autocross." They also admit that the canards don't do anything at less than 100MPH. I know TONS of people hitting 100MPH at an autocross.

But it's cool because the owner SAYS he is going to get a turbo.




It hurts, it PHYSICALLY hurts to watch this.

So what? Its another persons car and people should be allowed to do whatever they want to it without haters like you making negative comments. I find certain aspects of your car ricey imo so dont think you drive a perfect car either.
