Looking at the EXIF data, I'd suggest using a faster lens (or at least a wider aperature, but good glass will make even shots with a low to mid range camera look much much better) and lowering the ISO to get rid of the grain; 1600 is quite high for an afternoon shoot. As for too much white, you might want to try a little negative exposure comp on the camera. I usually shoot with -2/3 of a stop, but take some test shots and see what gets the results you're after.

I know you're selling this gorgeous machine, but I'm sure you'll be doing shoots with your new car and hopefully this might help.

I really have no clue how to use that camera. it was borrowed from my buddy. I'll probably have to read "camera's for dummy's" next time i do something like this.

That's sick. Love the stealth appearance of it.

Since i'm selling the car, I decided not to paint the valve cover - cover NBP and just resprayed it semi-gloss black (factory finish) and put on the 3.6 logo



So my horn and cruise control stopped working. I had an idea about what it was, and confirmed it after taking the clock spring apart.
The cable was all wrinkled up, broken in 3 pieces and the grease had dried up completely.

The 3.6 is a sick touch.

pretty cheap. 50 bucks maybe. any honda/acura 03+ clock spring with the right size plug will work. Pretty much every honda model, since most of them only have the cruise controls on the steering wheel.

I can confirm it's a Z06. Read this article, they mention the tire size:

If not a Z06, then my next guess is a Salica GTC 3.5L bi-turbo
