Now you know why it takes me so long to get pictures out....

I'm a perfectionist....I spent 3 hours detailing my car today in order to get it the way you see it right now.  I refuse at all possible costs to shoot my car in natural sunlight because of the horrendous swirl marks it prominently displays.  Nighttime is a different story, however Smiley

I needed to shoot my car for one of my Forensics classes, so I drove out to school and set up on the 3rd floor of my favorite parking garage.  I took a few pictures and then decided that I wasn't getting the kind of definition that these pictures need....so I decided to shoot those pictures during the day and just shoot fun pictures while I was there...hell...my car is only clean for about a week out of the year so I'd best get what I wanted while the fruits of my labor were still evident.

So here she is in all her glory.  Comments and criticism are welcome.

The best shots of the night:




For those of you who have never seen me in the flesh here's one that actually didn't come out half bad


My new tires get their first glamor shots Smiley As usual..the stickiest of the icky!

mmmmmmmmm....there's nothing quite like a BIG FAT TIRE IN YOUR FACE!! 245's FOR THE WIN!

one of my favorite sedans on the forum. i didn't know you had a CF hood, then again you dont post much as you said so its nice to see your ride in its most updated state for the moment.

Thanks for the comments guys! Believe it or not, those are 4300k stock TSX bulbs.  I'm not sure if my retro was color modded but I can tell you that I messed around with the white balance on my camera and played with some of the settings but the beams look so much cooler in the pics now.  The actual beam in real life is more white.  I also may have caught the beam in a blue spot..who knows...lol..the point is..it looks cool Smiley

Great looking Accord.  You can tell if your projectors are color modded by simply looking at the cutoff line on a wall.  Normal TSX projectors have really no color at all on the cutoff line if you see purple/blue you have some washers added for color.

I've been in that car!!  Nice pics Skippy.  I bet Scott would be willing to help you with those swirls in your paint.

Awesome pictures. The first one does make it look like your lights are blue, but thats cool in my book. CF hood looks great too. Rims look very nice, you must have spent some time making those shiny.

Good job!
