Photoshoot: 1G & 2G TSX
After waiting patiently since friday when I picked up my car, I took her out today to snap a few photos. Rob (azn.m3nace) tagged along for a few photos himself.....

Teasers for now.....

seeing what you did to your previous rides, pics show exactly what i was expecting.
i do like what you did to the grill. the silver trim compliments the other chromed parts.

Thanks guys. The car came from the dealer like it sits now, except I had Metropolitan Detail give it a good detail yesterday. My car does have 18's and Rob's (white 1G) is 19's. I think I'm going to raise the front a little bit.

I like the grill silver as it adds a bit of contrast along with the chrome trim.

Omg. JB, these pics are amazing. Thanks for the tag along and thanks for getting great pics!

As for my rims, they are 19x8 32mm offset. I think JB's is 18x8 32mm offset?

Agreed. Is it paint matched, plasti-dipped, or vinyl?

Why can the V6 not have this Supercharger. Me wants, wants, wants.

Your car is SexyTime! I have now seen that i have to get BigNasty tinted, and get me a rear deck lip. That looks good man, Nice drop, nice wheels, oh yea, did I mention....nice SC.

Yes. My grill is carbon with the silver trim around it.

I have 18" RJ Legends. Rob has 19's, Legends in Raven Black.

First of all, i dont know how you made just wheels, drop and a grille look so good, but it does. As I am learning with my first set of coilovers..i think maybe being slammed just makes any car look sick, even if its stock lol. Those are coilovers right?

and i am very jealous about the SC...

Yup, it's on H&R Coilovers. I actually need to raise it about 1 or two turns as it scrapes going in and out of my driveway a bit too much.

Slammed (tastefully) cars always look better IMO.

Not sure what shadows you're talking about. There might be a few from the flash going off, or from the brief moments of sun, but that's it. I used either my 24-70 or 70-200 2.8 lenses.

Not sure on that. I'll ask Rob when I see him tomorrow night at the company party.

I believe so. They are gunmetal colored.

Also, someone asked about my tire specs, they are 245/40-18's all the way around.
