I took a bunch of pics today with my archaic 3.2mp Sony cybershot, these were the results... lmk what you guys think.

If anybody knows how to make just the background of photos B&W using Adobe Photoshop elements 3.0 please PM me.

 

I love it man now pick up some JDM headlights and the rear lip and it will be perfect.

 

Yeah yeah I know, one week ago I was told 2-3 weeks so it should be anytime.

Didnt wanna give me any photo editing hints eh

 

Looking very nice. Those wheels are super sexy. Are they 19's?

I am liking the anti-bling look on our cars more and more.

I am going to have to get some engine cleaning pointers from you whenever we have our next meet.

 

They're 18s... anti-bling FTW!

Im probably not going to make it to the July 5/6th meet thats coming up but Im sure there will be more this year. I might be at a Honda-Tech meet in Bridgeview coming up in June, I'll keep you posted if your interested in coming out.

 

Not sure about elements, i use full pohotshop, but if you wanna make just the BG B&W try this:

Use the Lasso tool to select the general outline of your car in the pic, then right + click the funky shaped box you made, click Feather. If your photo is high res you will prolly wanna set Feather to like 5 to 10. Then hit ctrl + shift + i (inverse). Then go to Image>Adjustments>Hue/Saturation, this'll bring up a little window, take the Saturation slider to -100. that should do it, hope it helps.

P.S. if you have no luck, lemme know and I can just photoshop them for you.

 

Using CS3
outline with quick selection tool.
inverse.
saturation to -100.

 

your car has a very mean stance and the front end is simply clean and slightly aggressive. i like the volks, but maybe on something else besides a cgp. props for originality

 

looks sick!

 

Straight fire. Love the wheels.

 

wow, i never realized how low you were sitting in the front. did you recently do that or has it always been like that? car looks sharppppp

 

green engine valve cover and strut end links are nice. i'm in the process of going that route myself. is that candy green?

 

damn... looks really good, love the wheels

 

Very nice, Your car is one of my favorites in this forum. Love the rims!!!!!!

sorry man was up till 3am and got back up at 6am to finish a damn school project. damnit i just want to be done lol.

 

so clean. great pics!

 

Just pLain sickk. your engine bay is so cLeannnnnn.!

 

What color of green did you paint that engine valve cover? It looks like a takata green to me but I am prob wrong.

That and the rest of the car look great!!!

 

 

Thanks Steam7369 for the info. Also thanks MMsTSX for the info and for editing those pics for me

 

Thanks man

The front end is sitting a little lower now since I replaced my 235 series Kumho SPTs w/ 225 for more clearance.

 

Yep

Thanks... its candy green.

 

NICE! great shots, like them even more with the BW backgrounds.

but what happened to cookie monster? lol.

everytime I see your ride and those rims I love them even more.

 

thought so . that's who i went to for my valve cover (lake blue texture).

 

Yeah, the B&W background definetly makes the car pop... I love that look.

Cookie monster is laying low for awhile

 

Yeah, thats a cool color. Are you planning on having your strut bar mounts coated to match?

 

and.....

 

wow so nice very nice look on the car... what do you use to clean your engine it sooks so clean.

 

Your car looks very good, here's my contribution until your headlights come in

 

^haha... nice!

 

MMsTSX your the man

 

wow sweet!! nice and clean too!!

 

Honestly it stays pretty clean since I never drive my car in snow or rain. Plus I make sure to wipe it down everytime I wash the car.

Ive never pressure washed the bay, no degreaser either, just a microfiber towel and some quick detail spray. I usually use Poorboys Spray and Wipe

 

Your TSX is looking sharp. Your rims against your car looks kinda blue. I think actual black would look at bit better. None the less, very clean and aggressive look. Really like what you did with the engine bay.

 

She looks hot!

Whats next for her?

 

Thanks man

Your ride is off the charts, I love the new look and the CF air duct is SICK!

06+JDM headlights and Euro R rear lip should be installed by next month. Then hopefully a Gruppe M intake later this summer. Then I might call it quits, Im looking into buying an IS350 soon

 

Thanks bro!

Those will be some nice additions. That's a shame you're gonna get an IS, she was on such a good track! I keep imagining what some big calipers would look like behind those mag blues.

 

NICE CAR! LOVE THE RIMS!!

BTW, where did you get the front lip?? website?
