That RG looks really good on there. Much better than the time attack CEs. You should adjust your fenders to make those work.

What did Jason do...put on a jdm fashion show for you when you went up there?!
No he just looked at both in storage is all.

I think the Time Attack CEs are the best wheels I have ever had on the car personally. The RGs look good but not as good as those.

The RGs will fit just fine with the right tires is all they need. The current tires are just too big. I don't want to modify the fenders and risk loosing the factory crease line on the edge of the fender. It is one of my favorite lines on the car.

You may gladly come test fit them. They are not for sale though.

I don't believe so. His car has been posted a few times, mostly about the front lip, but I don't recall seeing the owner having a profile or posting.

It looks like he is associated with Nextmod. Those guys produce results up there in Ontario. I like their style.

The car is subtle, but loaded with top of the line parts.
Sweet Jesus.

I love the OG style Honda emblem too. Nice touch. My favorite part has to be those fender flares though. So OEM looking.

Yeah....Diez's car always gave me tingles in the jimmies. It's probably the best stateside built S2000 of all time.

Earlier today I took my camera with me on the way to grab dinner because of the sunsets that have been happening this week. Luckily there was another awesome sunset which made for atleast 3 in a row. I don't know if anyone else noticed that but I thought it was pretty neat.

Anyways here is what I came up with. Didn't feel like editing them so these are straight out of the camera.

Here is a shot of the soon to be US521 north flyover. I will make videos on it when it is completed and will hit lots of vtec as well. I really can not effing wait. haha


Another before shot.


Right before this shot I almost decided to quit the shoot altogether because the first four I took from a different angle pissed me off. My girlfriend told me to keep calm and keep clicking, and i'm glad I did lol.








These next three are my favorite photos that I've ever taken so far. Something about the composition with the Charlotte skyline being in the bokeh.






Will have to edit this one.

Its been great. Ive been given the full time contract for Hendrick BMW (new and pre-owned). Its a lot of paper work towards the end of the day but I really enjoy getting to drive everything on both lots. M6 is by far the most expensive car I have ever driven but I still love the M3s. I got the chance to ride in the owner of the porsche dealerships GT3RS, and I asked them if they had sold any carrera gt's lately and they said no but they know the guy who owns it.

Im getting paid great money, roughly $650 a week, so the civic will be painted, lowered on coils, have wheels, new bride reps and a cleaned up engine bay by hopefully mid august. For now Ill rock the white steelies, shitty/rusted stock exhaust and everything else haha.

The amount of expensive parts is mind blowing considering how the car appears. I love what he did with it.

That's awesome man, i'm really happy for you. I bet it feels good. To be around all of those nice cars on a daily basis has got to be a great feeling. $15 an hour will definitely pay bills and some.

Actually I dont get paid by the hour, but paid by the car. $5 per new car and $8 per used. But now the dealership is changing their policy sometime soon which will require me to re-shoot certain pictures which may give me an additional $8 or $5 or maybe half that. I can knock out about 20 a day.

Third photo set in three days of this little lexus whore!.. went for a cruise and snapped some moar foto.









This photo is highly modified in lightroom because it was a little too dark to take the photo. Lightened it up and did all kinds of things to make it look decent. I will have to revisit this spot again sometime because it has an awesome vantage point of the city. It's on the HOV lane on 77 south where the lane goes off on it's own tangent.
