However, the CL itself definitely is a looker.

don't use filters, unless you're going for artsy. just alter the levels or click auto level and you'll get better results than that. post the originals so we can see more! looks hot through the grain.

The PS'ed photos are too strongly contrasted, filtered, and grained. The originals are alot better in my opinion. I usually just up the contrast very slightly and done, its all thats really needed.

i agree. the originals look way better. next time try thinking about the surroundings some when taking pics. the one with the tractor in the background would have looked way better if it wasnt there or the car was positioned where the tractor was not in view.

Thanks for the feedback guys! Really appreciate it. The only thing I'm doing lately is the Pioneer AVIC-D3 with navigation, DVD, rear camera, and steering wheel controls.

Slick looking car, I've wanted to use the Si wheels for a while.

I guess you can snag these wheels from the stealership yeah? Probably cost an arm and a leg, maybe a piece of liver too ..

I've been searching and can't find em anywhere cept eBay.

Hey guys, thanks for the comments so far. I absolutely love the wheels, I have had nothing but great great feedback ever since I got them. You wouldn't believe how many people think they're aftermarket! People always say "they look like the wheels that come on the new Lexus's" so I take it as a compliment, lol. But in terms of finding a set in good condition - check out Civic forums. That's where I had the most luck.

I was thinking about buying some 18's but I really can't decide because I honestly see nothing wrong with the Si wheels! But either way, IF I bought these I would get them in black with a polished lip, or hypersilver with a polished lip. What do you guys think?



Thanks guys!

Yeah I am going to just keep the Si wheels on there, and keep it more of a sleeper. I'm planning on having it S/C by the end of 2007 so it should be quite the sleeper.
