Some Daytime Pics - As Requested (NO 56k)

Well in my first picture thread ever:

https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/nothin-much-just-makin-progress-707503/

I had some requests for day time shots, so here they are!

Only changes I have done since then are the type S side markers and the ACURA inserts. I should have had the brembos on by now but I had a minor setback with stripped ball ends

On to the pics, beautiful January day in southern california. Sorry the car is a little dusty.

















I think you can see the black roof better in these pics. I need to get darker tint on my back window especially with this bright ass sun, I think it would look cleaner with the black roof also. What do you guys think?

Look great man. That's the exact path I'm going with mine sans the black roof. The black roof looks good. It's soooo damn shiny, you can't really even tell if it's black, or a really good wax job at first glance.

Yeah I really love the way it looks now, you should consider the black roof, maybe test it out with vinyl first and see how you like it, I love it!

AA...I really like the look. I like the "low visibility" logos on the front and back along with the roof. It really gives the Anthracite color a "stealth" look. Great job buddy.

56k is an ancient way of connecting to the internet. Before the new era of cable and DSL we humans used to use what was called a 'dial up' connection. 56k was the baud rate for a typical antique modem. Luckily with todays advances in technology it no longer takes an hour to load a picture on a website. However there are still people out there that use this ancient means of connection and thus we must warn them before they click on our bandwidth intensive threads.

Thanks man, right now it has lots of bugs on it.

Yeah its black you can't see it that well in those pics since the sun is glaring. You can see it nice in this pic:

That is a more recent pic. You can also see that I switched the rear tint out for some darker 5% tint. Before it was 35%.

Dang man...that looks absouletly amazing.

I'm giving the boot to my RJs after summer and getting a set of A-Specs and these pictures just justified my decision 100%. The black roof is subtile but still baller. I could go on and on about everything on your car, but I might as well just say your car is pure sex

$400, don't you have connections though? You can probably get it done for cheaper.

Anyways haven't done much lately because I am getting married on May 30th and that has been taking up all my time and $$$. Oh I had some Volk GT-Vs that I picked up a few months ago in there but I needed some extra cash and sold them. Also they were rubbing and I didn't have the money and patience to deal with it at that time. Big mistake, I wish I had kept them they were so sick. Couple pics when I had them on:





19x8.5 +22 and 19x9.5 +24

You know what? I wonder why they don't delete threads that are over a year old? They are, after all, not relevant after a shelf life of 12 months.



I like these old threads. It's fun to see other member's cars before they turned them into different beasts.
