Nice pictures! I like the last one the most. What camera?

I haven't taken pictures with the D80 in a while. Perhaps, I can take some cool night shots in the upcoming weeks.

Holy crap....you're doing HDR with an S3? I've never heard of anyone doing that before. I've often thought of getting in to HDR with my 30D, but just haven't tried yet. What software are you using? Nice shots though!

Nice pics keep them coming guys, the mods deleted an older thread with all the other pics. Must have happened when the site was upgraded!

Lets see all those aftermarket wheels and lowered vehicles!!

Picture are sweet I 'am inspired I was just having a smoke outside checking my ride out as the twilight was coming in, and thought that taking a few shots and posting would be cool and help some activity on this site.

And low and behold I found this thread nice Pics!!

I picked up a front spoiler for $50, but it's the wrong color, so I'm having it painted. I have already had the front windows tinted to match the rest of the windows and I have a roof rack to install as well. I'm trying to score some running boards on top of all of that. That'll be as far as I take the ext. mods though. I may do a K&N panel filter and I'd love a downpipe.........

Photomatix is a popular software to use for HDR.

Hey, Fiji,
I enjoyed your excessive use of lens flares.

Ah ha... and that's where you are wrong my friend. I had my exposure times set long, creating the flare effect. None of the pics have any rendered flares. The only altered pics (other than basic color/contrast correction) are the last two. So again, let's see some of your pics.

For what it's worth fiji, I liked your pics very much. I'm still waiting to hear if the guy is a pro photographer. I haven't met many pros that don't have bad attitudes when it comes to non-pros and their pics. When I first got my DSLR, I spent a lot of time on photography websites hoping to learn from them...I eventually gave up because I got tired of all the negative attitudes.

I'd love to know what makes pro photographers so angry. Maybe they are mad because technology has made it easy for anyone to take great photos now...

Of course if Jimmy isn't a pro, then my rant was pointless.

Jimmy, why don't you go find some place to spew your unpleasantness. We're just here to talk cars and show off some cool pics. Take your high and mighty attitude and take a hike.

I hate to sound like a forum nazi, but there's already a pic thread, oddly enough named OFFICAL RDX pic thread. lol

Maybe we should put all our pics in one thread instead of multiple ones?

Oh BTW, Fiji, dont listen or even reply to that jerk Jimmy. He's a hater. Your pics are very good.

Nice pics "wspy". My car looks like crap from all the salt from Ohio to Philly to NYC and back. Unfortunately I'm unable to wash it due to the extreme cold weather in our area, today's high was -1. YAY!

Nice rims Wspy. i always wanted those rims, 20" Axis, the only reason i stop buying those rim is the ride quality might get worst....

does it make any changes in regards with ride quality?

Thanks for the comps guys.
The combination of the 20's and thusly the 40 series tires along with the springs make the ride slightly rougher. The vehicle feels somewhat tighter and now corners way better.
I only wish that there was someone that made swaybars for the RDX.
I'm looking into upgradeing the braking system.

Some nice pics in here. Thanks to the those who commented on mine. And as far as that Jimmy guy goes, no worries. He exposed himself as an uneducated hater the second he called me out for excessive lens flare from photoshop when the pictures were RAW except for the last two. More pics!
