Some HD edit shots of my '04 VIP TL
Some shots I took and edited from throughout the year. I think photobucket destroyed the quality of them, but here ya go.

Not a huge fan of those wheels, but overall the car is clean and not too overdone.
Some decent photos would do wonders. These are dreadful, sorry.

Ya that's the point, I wanted them to look more like a painting or a cartoon than a photo. If I stopped modding my car maybe I could afford the kind of camera to get great shots without editing, but I don't think that's going to happen any time soon. lol! Plus regular shots are boring and played out, I like having pictures that stand out! It's not like these are for a magazine, it's just some experimenting I did for fun, and practice.

JD, you'll look back one day on these and go
"Oh man, what the hell..."
I give you credit for making them "different", but understand 2 things.
1) You don't need a DSLR to have awesome shots.
2) Editing only improves on an already great photo.
You can't take a shitty picture and make it awesome by editing. Just doesn't work.
This goes deeper into photography but I'll stop there because that's basically it.

Agreed. The 2nd set is way better than the first.

2021 RDX A SPEC
Consider body colored splash guards? Very cheap upgrade and looks great on silver TLs. Although u being lowered and all, not sure if u might scrape them on some bumps. Or perhaps u r going with a kit down the road?

Ya I'm going to finish the A-Spec kit soon, I just hit 105k and need to do the service. Then I'm back on track, with a major upgrade coming in the spring!

Can someone please tell me what VIP means? Is this different from everyone else's that is lowered with wheels? Not hating btw!
Also agree on color matched mud guards or the removal of yours til you finish the kit.

VIP is a style, all about the "luxury" look as opposed to track, or "JDM". I'm not there yet but on my way. There are commonalities that "vip" cars share like bags, staggered wide lips, the knots under the mirror, neck pillows, certain mods that classify it as "vip". Really it's just another car style originated from Japan, adapted to America.

You know Troy and Rich?
Their RSXs are sick as hell.
Wish I had a 6speed TL!

I love the 6spd, had to drive about 300miles to get it. My brother has an automatic, and its just not my thing. I heard they only made 1 in 40 6mt.

The first set killed my eyes 
You have a super clean TL and now it's time to add the rest of the A-Spec kit
Also, whenever you use a good camera, upload the pictures to Flickr instead of PB. PB is a bit more user friendly but increased photo quality is worth the occasional frustraction.
