ed_423

KillerG

ill be coming to the summer menlo meets

PyroDave

middle is tobwac, left is slickooz, right is me. this will be my last one till may probably. back to school i go

ttk5

biggest TSX meet yet!!! groundbreaking stuff guys lol

tobwac

finally break the record there are not too many AZ members that have tsx in our area or they are too lazy to come to the meet

ed_423

what happened to tobwac's wheels?

defconskylude

whats the camera settings on this?

i cant get mine to be this bright and crisp with my 60D

slickooz

Do you shoot in M with tripod?

defconskylude

i havent used the tripod yet. ive used M sometimes but im mostly using the Aperature mode

are you using a timer?

slickooz

If your shooting at night time, I would def suggest using tripod. At night time your going to need longer exposure to get the photo you want. For these shots, I would set iso to 100 and have aperture around 9-11 for sharp photo and have shutter speed anywhere from 2-30 secs. The exposure on the top lcd screen, will tell you if you have the right exposure. You want it dialed in around 0.

And you should use a timer of 10 sec to reduce any vibration from clicking shutter.

tobwac

took them off for a winter

ed_423

ah that's right, the "winter mode" always forget about that because im in socal, our "winter mode" is keep an umbrella in your car.

tobwac

actually this winter sucks no snow so far but i rather stay prepared if the weather wanted to change unexpected

PyroDave

sneaky teaser, no pic till tomorrow, but i plastidipped my wheels(i messed up a tiny spot on one, but besides that, it seems pretty on point. i want blue lugs though and valve stem caps, if anyone knows where i could pick some up, that'd be awesome). i also plastidipped the rear emblems(again, fucked up a tiny bit, but easy fix.) and i redid my grill to be fully plasti dipped.

on the downside, the HID ballast that DDM sent me ALREADY went out. day two. seriously? they are getting an angry call monday. and my brakes seem to be squeeling pretty bad at 25K miles, along with warped rotors... =(

ed_423

man dave, at least ddm gives life time warranty right? haha

PyroDave

yea, but you have to pay to ship to cali(well i guess you dont lol). 5 bucks each time plus a 2-3 week turnaround is annoying. im calling monday and explaining that im expecting expedited shipping, and that i want my new ballast by the weekend

tobwac

how about plastidipped the whole car

VortexBlueTSX

When we meet up before the Auto show....all records will be shattered hahaha

tobwac

it would be really interesting to caravan to Javits Center park on the front of it and have more people coming and see our TSX than going in and checking the new car

VortexBlueTSX

Exactly my thought process and hey do you blame them? 3+ Cu2 in one place....WOW

MoaarLow

I love the front on the 09-10 !
The grille is so much better than mine imho.

I PROMISE, ill be there when Pyro comes back.

PyroDave

decent pic of the plastidipped wheels, but dirty car

PyroDave

plasti dipped wheels redone

slickooz

Dipped wheels looks NICE!

Photos from Menlo meet.

ed_423

wow you even did the lug nuts??

just look kinda like steelies now IMO. but if that's the route you are going, do the window trim too haha

PyroDave

i did it without taking them off my car, as you can see in the daytime pic i took, the bags are still on over the brakes. i peeled it off one wheel today before doing it, and i can peel it off each individual lug and off the center caps really easily, actually would take me less than a minute per wheel to do that. i want blue lugs and a blue valve stem cap. just not sure where to get them. i also dont want to leave the centercap like that. im either gonna take off the entire thing, or stencil on a white acura symbol somehow

PyroDave

heres a before pic

MoaarLow

Liking the All Black!!

LawnPro

Love the blue color! Sharp.

ssjoeboe9

nahh man they don't look like steel wheels. They have just been refreshed with some paint. Pyro you should experiment with painting over the plastidip, I am going to do some experiments myself but I still have some other things I am waiting for. You should see what gun metal looks like. Or see what it looks like with clear coat.

defconskylude

makes me wanna paint my mesh with plasti dip

ed_423

haha i didn't see the bags there the other picture shows much better

MoaarLow

+1, Maybe a Gloss Clear Coat? Flat wont do much i Suppose. Either way i really like it

PyroDave

i actually will be painting over these, maybe in 2 weeks. i'll be trying first on my lug nuts
