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.

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.

Time to Climb
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

heel/toe is my specialty
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!!!

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

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.

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

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.
