Acura, Volk, Mugen, and...(not a teaser!)
I walked back to my car after brunch one day and found a piece of paper with a business card on my windshield. It was a note from two photographers in the bay area asking if they could shoot my car right before I was going to get the Mugen exhaust installed. Since I never had any quality photos of my car, I contacted them a few days after the excitement from the Mugen ended.
Here are a few photos from the disc that they sent me. I wanted to wait until I made the last big purchase/mod for the TSX, but the wait is too long
Credit and many thanks to enb photography.

The best part was that it was free in exchange for rights to put the photos in their portfolio. They specialize in other areas and are trying to gain more hands on experience in cars. As you can probably tell from the photos, they have a lot of editing skills, but they still need to improve how to flatter the cars.

They've got their picture taking on the dot, and they've got a good amount of creativity in these shots. Their editing can be better, as some of these photos are losing a lot of detail with the overexcessive use of blacks.
Can be improved with a few tweaks and adjustments in Lightroom or CS3.

O my God! Those rims look so good on your car.
I thought about getting those a while back before I even got my car because I was them on a white TSX.
although I dont regret getting my wheels, I regret not getting those.
Looks amazing!

Rotora 4 piston caliper bbk with slotted/drilled 1piece rotors. I had no problem clearing these with plenty of space to spare. I wished that the spokes were not THAT concave to make the calipers look even bigger. The rotor fills the wheel well nicely, but the rear is stock

The tone of the Rays lugs is almost a perfect match to the caliper. I've never even considered getting rid of the Project Kics I'm using at the moment, but your suggestion is very tempting since I don't like the open ended design of the R40's. The reason why I have them is because of the neochrome coating

How are you enjoying the BBK? Good choice... we're red 1pc Rotora BBK brothers now, haha. I just put a set of red Rays shortie lugs on my car... it's actually not that close of a match in person. They look darker on the internet. They look closer to pink in actuality. Which isn't to say I don't like them, but they're definitely not a match to the caliper.
I'll be doing a shoot this weekend so you can see for yourself when I post up.
