bay area ssm

thought i'd share a few pics snapped at the base in alameda. sorry for the washed-out look; it was very sunny and i'm not sure if i can adjust for this on my p&s.

Are those Accord wheels? You ride look grrrrreat! The wheels give the car a more stealth look to it. Great pictures. The last one is the best one.

Great pics. What products did you use to drop your tsx? How much is it dropped? Is the drop in the pics your normal daily driving setting? Thanks.

thank you! i'm lowered on tein basics. no threads remaining in the front, two threads remaining in the rear. when i park next to a stock tsx, the height difference is remarkable. i would estimate at least a 3 inch drop yes, that's the daily driving height setting. i will need to raise her up for an upcoming camber kit install + alignment.

the fender liner up front is getting a bit chewed up when turning, but nothing serious. that is the only rubbing i experience.

appreciate it... i love the rack. rails go on only when needed. wind noise + mileage are both affected, but i can deal with the trade off no problem. make sure you have a wind deflector installed! the noise is unbearable if you just have cross bars

I like the 2 shots of the 3 cars, especially the one in front of the ship. Pretty cool.

Daaaamn... that last picture with the carrier is insane. Great shots, and clean ride. Your car is a compelling argument on behalf of roofracks looking clean.

Wow, nice looking rims. Goes well with your colour of TSX.

Are those standard 17" rims from an Accord coupe?

just your standard fair 04-05 a-spec oem lip. best prices are on ebay i think (pre-painted too).

they're actually 18 inch rims from the accord coupe (08 or 09 and up v6 only)

This was a fun photoshoot.

Got to do it again sometime Clint.

If I have some free time I'll play with a few more pics that you took.

I just got the DVD from Kevin so...I'll see if I can salvage anything from it.

I made some wallpapers for Clint when I was bored...

Here is one I made that I have as my current desktop background.



A couple of pics that I edited from the trip out.





We had a problem with the Nikon SLR...so the pics suffer from chromatic aberration.

It was during the week and we all had the day off.

I believe there was "No Trespassing" signage out there but the cops didn't mess with us because we were being respectful of the area.

That was a great shoot...a lot of fun.

We usually organize stuff like that in the Bay Area Threads.
