Whoaaa the refelction of the garage door on my car is trippy.

When you heading back to Ill? We should do a shoot before you leave.


and = ( to your comment. haha. I have to admit the later of the 2Gs always used to catch my eye though..

 

Our cars are soooooooo baddddddddddd.......
How bad are they????
they had to be put behind bars!!!

 

AHAHAHAH im guessing you were referring to the pic with the yellow side bars in the pic?

PS after you seafoamed Mikes car I was convinced to seafoam mine. lol

 

He was like 'did you guys do that to make it look like he burned out?
He was so amazed...

 

 

I'm going to float this out there. Another Sac meet in October. It will be cooler and I'm swamped through Sept.

1) DIY Rotors and Brakes - Tom's going to help, I'll supply the car and materials (slotted rotors) We have a canopy and a location
2) Pre-planned drive w/ pics
3) Photo shoot - maybe someone can scout some locations in advance
4) Maybe a late lunch/snacks

Any weekends in October better than others? We already have a number of photo shoot ideas. What do you guys think?

 

Lets do the weekend before Oct 6!! my birthday! haha or the weekend after
Do you guys know how to adjust the hand break?

 

wow another meet already? oh well never too late! Im down! plus hopefully it could be the last one before brian leaves

 

When does brian leave? My preference would be the weekend after....that will give us a 2 month break. What could we do that is different that might draw more people?

 

..hahaha, but of course! ..didn't you see how skinny and fit I was? ..hahaha!

Thanks, though I didn't spend nearly as much time+effort on it.. I still think it could've came out better. I'll give it another go later on today when I get back from school!


Hahaha, yup.. that same reflection of the garage is on Kiran's whip, it looks tight as hell! ..hehe, I graduate on Sept. 19... will most likely be around for another couple days packing up the rest of my stuff then I'm off for a vacation in L.A for a month too go visit a friend that just moved into her new place.

 

awesome pics. Cali seems to always have the nice weather and places to throw good meets.

 

ill, for this pic:




did you just take acura1983's pic here and edit it?



tripped me out, I thought it was your original picture for a second and that you were posting new pics.

 

klepto, yup.. just editing them from the .jpg file. Hehehe, I tried some new stuff that doesn't black/darken out the image like in my previous edits.

 

yup thought that photo looked familiar...beautiful!

 

here one i messed with for the hell of it

 

here is a clean up of ChicoOG's ride without the bug and guts and brighten it up a bit. Previous picture was for fun

 

I carry quik detail spray and MF towels for bug cleanup after road trip- I know all too well the perils of the valley freeways
Just see me at the meets to borrow some

 

That is a sweet pic

If I have the cash, I plan to paint it two tone spring next year...black top half, rrp bottom...if so, I may have to black out the inside spokes of the rj wheels...I think it will look real sharp

Next mods though, slotted rooters and, per klepto recommendation, exhaust tips Looking forward to the next DYI meet...

 

a way to promote the meet is put a link in your signature to the meet planning thread- maybe put a few of the best pics from last 2 meets up as part of thread 1st post to show we can do it right!!
Make sure its posted in the main meet thread and send link to Ron A or fsttyms1 who will sticky it to all the gens and models for us.
PM your friends that dont spend much time online

ChicoOG need his brakes replaced soon- so thats why we are putting out a feeler for dates- a DIY lesson on front brakes at the meet so everyone can learn and do themselves! saves hundreds and done better than most shops-
get some good pics for a forum DIY, and of course seafoam lessons!! are always available- should have several experts here now~

 

brian or someone wanna edit the pic of my car? the 2G CL. I wanna use it as my background.

 

not 2tone all the way?

 

NO, we don't!!! lol jk.
I would, but I pretty much suck at photo editing... sorry = /

 

im not the best so here is my take on it.

 

thanks! looks awesome! its going on my computer! some nice touches too, like the front plate and ACURA on the ground.

 

What do you mean? What is 2tone all the way?

I definitely want to do something with the paint and then set-up the rims to flow well with whatever I end up with...thinking about it, I'm not sure black will be the best color to offset the rrp. I'll play around with color options when the time gets closer...

In the mean time, I am having my kicks pulled are redone in October along with my rotors...I'll put it out there in Sept, to see if there is interest in a DIY/Photo Shoot meet in Oct.

 

you're welcome. It's been awhile since I photoshop pictures so i'm trying to get back to my roots . Notice the shadow of the license plate on the ground is also gone as well

 

hood, roof, and trunk lid probably

 

Oh, well then yes that is what I meant by top half...top half of the car

I remember seeing a two tone a while back, I think it was a silver base, with the top half (hood, roof, and trunk) painted black...it looked sharp

I may go to the shop next week to get a quote, just to get an idea of cost

 

IF i am following you is this what you are referring to?

 

mmmm, close, but actually I'm thinking the "entire" top half of the car...

Thanks for giving that a shot.

I'd be interested in what color combo ideas people have...rrp and ???? Maybe the gun metal color of the bottom lip of the front aspec lip??? I want something that is pretty sophisticated/high-end looking

 

I guess i'm not following you in regards to the "entire" top half. I.e. using the side markers as your dividing line?

 

yes, run just above the headlight housing running all the way to the back of the car...let me see if I can find the post of the other car...

 

no please, your TL will be very sexy with a black top only. the entire top half of the car maybe a little too much. just my

 

Like the photo shop version above?

 

was it a 3rd gen?

 

im with them mike, the entire top half, including pillars would look so-so. just get teh versus motorsport front bumper. then you'll be forced to get the supercharger and intercooler

 

Yes, I think it was at the ron jon meet last summer...I looked around a little and didn't find it...

It looks there are 2-3 votes for just the top (hood, roof, and trunk lid) In that scenario, would the entire truck lid be painted (top and back) or just the top?

The only thing I don't like about just the hood, it doesn't flow cleanly into the grill and front end...like a bugati

 

i vote for just black roof only. hood will be too much alike of the bugatti you mentioned.

if hood, roof and trunk lid are all black, it reminds me the look of "Socal finest"......... hahahahahahahahahaha............

just a black roof looks more clean and more of a M3 CSL or M6 two tone style.... simple but subtle.

 

See the line on the hood that flows naturally to the front bumper along side of the grill? the black area would be a little narrower...does that make sense?

If that were followed down to includ the area just under the grill using the v shaped bumber contour as a cut off...I think that could look good...

roof only could be TOO subtle...now is the time to consider all options, once the paint is laid down, your done...

Thanks for the suggestions so far

 

2tone fotoshoot any1??? lol
