(pics) nite shots or day shots? Need ur opinions..

After doing a complete detail, which included washing, claying, clearner wax, glazing and final polishing, i was compelled to take some shots both day and nite. i think both environments offer different looks and just wanted to share my pics and hear ur opinions or pointers on my next shooting, if i ever have time again. Thanks.[IMG][/IMG]

1st off, let me say "GO 49ers!!"
2nd, your car looks awesome (what wheels?)
3rd, i think both look good. The night ones obviously look much different than day shots, but i think in the right lighting, the night shots could look HOT.

I like your rims alot. I prefer night shots. Day shots can be very messy because of the light reflection.

What kind of drop do you have on yours? I have a 1" comptech but the rear is much lower than the front and it annoys me everythime it catches my eye. I was thinking about teins or eibachs.

i have tein's and my drops are definitely more than just 1", but i dont have the exact figure. ya fronts are dropped more than the back. at first, i thought the rear wasn't dropped enough but the guys who install them convinced me to just hold on and get used to it.
im glad i listened to them.

My alignment is great. The car drives straight and does not pull to either side. Acura did a great job. I have not purchased a camber kit yet.

I saw your car on the Iforged website and was wondering if you were on this website, well, I guess you are. I have the same rims but I havent put them on yet because I wanted to get coilovers first Oh yeah, I like the night shot photos

oh ya, i forgot to see if they uploaded my pics on iforged. they asked me to send a few pics when i was picking up the wheels. i dunno why they labeled them 18 inch.
those are 19's. i guess they didnt remember. they are so bz. i should send them some nite shots too. everyone seem to like the nite ones better.
oh btw, congrats on ur purchase!! what sizes did u get and color? mines are flat gunmetal.

I got 19x8 for the front and 19x10 for the rear. I hope everything comes out fine because they were warning me that 10's in the rear may not fit and may require some modification to the fender, so hope everything comes out fine The color is glossy gunmetal which is also known as anthracite, this was said by the guy at d2autosport. But I wish they were a little darker, oh well. Did you get big brake ready rims?

hmm.. my guess is that you would prolly need some fender work to fit 10. cuz my 8.5 fit barely after modest drop in the rear. with two passengers in the back and some stuff in the trunk, initially they were rubbing against the screw head that was in for the body kit. but im sure u will be able to work it out some how. be sure to post some pix once u get them done. have fun.

oh one more, ya i ended up with bbk ready's. i told them that i wanted the biggest lips possible and he told me that 1.5 is max in front for tl's. so i just ordered. i didnt find out that his measurements were based on manuals with brembo's. i was hugely dissappointed when i realized that i could've gotten bigger lips in fronts, but now, im happy with the look and i am seriously considering bbk's.

Im such an idiot when I was ordering the rims, the guy asked me if I was going to get the bbk's but at that time I didnt want to, but now I do So, I will see what I could do, but if worst they tell me that I cant then I will get the some rotors or something.

What kind of fender modification will I have to do? The only reason I got 10's for the rear is because I saw some members on hear that were running 10's and there cars looked amazing. I hope I wont have to pull the fenders out because that seems like it will cost alot of money Im hoping just to roll the fenders

prolly, rolling should be good, i guess. i havnt done any rolling or know anyone who did, but what i was told was that rolling can do wonders. quote was like $75 per fender, i think.
