Nice photos!
Great turnout!
The rims on that SSM [second pic] are sweet! But... EuroR? And the LS tips seems a bit off. Great nonetheless!
Wait... did you change rims?

and yes changed rims.
LS tips need to be finished, shaving off the bottom end I think, but Im not 100% yet. Taking a few days to decide.
Trust me we had to do some fiberglass work & fit the tips on in five or six different angles & areas. This was the best place using the current aspec rear lip. Im pretty sure Rodney had far more extensive work done that I did, plus, he has the Type S rear lip, so its an all together different fit & finish.

Loving the new rims!
The LS tips seem to be at a good placement. The thing I noticed that it protrudes out a bit and isn't 100% flush with the bumper. You're definitely right on the Type-S lip. The space for the exhaust tip is much greater.
All-in-all. Love the look!

Great looking cars and nice pictures! NSX is gorgeous.
TRIOD3SIGNS I'm jealous of your new wheels. They look great. A gunmetal set would look sick on my ride. Want to trade for my A-Specs?

nice shots Roger, sick rides! i love them all
im kinda on the fence about the HDR editing though. it never shows the actual car. but more of a FLAWLESS CG version of it. i've seen some cars not the ones pictured but others in person. and let me tell you dirty as hell , scratched paint with tons of swirls and chips. with the HDR editing they look brand spanking new and super clean, very deceiving. again im not saying any of these whips are flawed just my
on the processing.
question i know you had some work done to your TL. (looks awesome BTW love the new wheels) did you have the front and rear lips molded to the bumpers? or is that some more processing magic going on there.

on the processing.PS... TO JAIME... One of the main reasons we chose to meet for a shoot so close to A-FEST is cuz we ALL (except maybe one or 2 of us) had our cars cut & polished to perfection for A-FEST, so this was as close to flawless as we would ever get LOL, no swirls or scratches FTW!!! woot
. Here are some build pics.
Those look hot

yea.....anyone who wants to put a 'EuroR' badge on a normal TL.
no offense, but you put a ton of work on the car and then put a badge on the trunk as an 'inside joke'. just doesnt work for me. car looks sick but the badge makes me giggle a bit. again, no offense, car looks awesome.
