A little low for me but otherwise that is one well-done CRX. As usual, beautiful pictures!

Long live the 2G CRX!

Nice looking car. The paint in uninspiring and the car's insides seem dirty? They didn't have a vacuum cleaner available?

Cool. Engine bay and shifter are my favorite aspects.

I was thinking the same thing .

Aside from the dirty interior, car looks great - nice shots synth19!

It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine when a car I shoot isn't clean as it could be at a shoot. There have been plenty of times where I've had to clean things up a bit in post production.

Ahhh makes me miss my '88 Si. Man there's no other car that drives/handles like that car. I can only imagine with that much more horsepower than my bolt on had. It's hard to tell what color it is. Is it like a dark metallic silver?

And I agree with everyone else, what the hell is with not cleaning the car before the shoot? The graphic designer in me cringes at all the clone stamping I'd be doing to clean those images up lol.

Sweet car, and glad to see a vintage Honda getting some well-deserved magazine love.

That outline on the driver's side carpet is adhesive residue from a rubber mat that came there from the factory. Last fall, I restored a 1988 Legend coupe that had the same thing. I had to use a lot of elbow grease and cleaning product to get it removed. So it's not as simple as a vacuum.

They could have put floor mats in there to cover it up in pics, though.
