Damn sorry to hear about the damage that sucks.
About the ride height and being to low like people are saying but if you get a stiff enough suspension you will be fine. It is your weekend car anyways.

I have seen a white one in person and I have seen civics in person. The white is nice, but civics color really pops in the sun and looks amazing. Can't see that pop in pics really.
Here is the white one I saw at a meet in my area weekend before kc meet.

Agreed, I just did it to see how well it would look. If anything, Ill do bright silver or yellow. Im leaning more towards bright silver though. And only when I do a BBK.
I've been caught in two rain storms in it. With these tires, its the only way to get the ass to slide. That alone makes me want to drive it a bit more in the wet

Its just my style. Plus the background wasn't so pleasing to the eye. Did a lot of cleanup on the pics.

It's amazing what post-processing can do for pictures. I really need to get PS or LR.

Great shots though Frank! I was thinking about picking up that filter you told me about. I forgot what it was called though.

The sizzle in the Steak
Saw a white one in person yesterday.
Very cool looking car!
Much smaller and lower in overall height than I expected.....and that's a good thing!

The Toyobaru is looking like a really fantastic car. I'm glad they went through with making it. I heard it handles real well too; you should come out and autocross it.

I really try and not process my photos (unless I want to do a cool HDR shot). As someone who uses PS, IND, and AI on a daily basis, I know I will get too carried away and my actual photography skills will not shine through.
Great shots though Frank! I was thinking about picking up that filter you told me about. I forgot what it was called though.

You also still need to know how to compose a shot...and thats something a lot of people just don't know.

I am becoming quite fond of the ultramarine blue. Found one about 40 minutes from me and I should be checking it out today. Two downfalls, has that stupid ass bespoke crap and it is an auto instead of manual. I really wanted this car to be manual, but my current tsx is auto so it won't be much of a difference. If I can get decent trade (base, SSM ebony int, no nav, 5AT, 125k on the clock) in I might try to take it off the dealers mind. I imagine they will probably offer $5k but I'm hoping for something north of $6500.

Bespoke is pointless, as it only works if you have an iPhone connected to it.
Im not surprised he lost it, those stock tires are unpredictable. I've been taking 90* right handers at 25-30mph with the new wheels/tires and it just sticks.
While I agree that he should wait until he finds the exact car he wants, the automatic tranny in this car is based off of the IS-F tranny. It is a very good transmission, and people are having tons of fun with it.
