New to me, 96 Berlina Black 6 Speed

[EAC]

Picked this up 3 weeks ago, took it out for some pictures this afternoon. Sorry about the photoshop, was goofing around. I'm new to it. Dang sun washed everything out. How do you shoot a black car without all the glare?

Spent the weekend re-enforcing the sideskirts and installing the blodi covers.. Looks much better now.

Looks great, how do you like the car so far? I have a friend who is on rx7club and he was telling me how there is a guy who sold his rx7 for an nsx and hes kind of torn on how he feels about it. I'm sure he was refering to you.

Also the only thing that I would add to that would be the 2003 taillights. Once you switch, the pre 02 tail lights looks too plain.

 

[goldNSX]

That thing is shiny, very shiny.

Great looking NSX! Absolutely reeks of muscle - cheers, and enjoy! Jay

 

[The Beast]

Very Nice, I love the BBK in the rear makes the car look so much better.

 

[ForceFed]

Loving pretty much everything bout the car, looks great!

 

[hardcore-nsx]

Looks great bro! Im jealous, I want your brakes:smile:

Get a circular polarizer to reduce glare.

Also, shooting in mid-day sun is very tough to do. Just before sunrise or just after sunset is the best time to shoot cars. The light is nice, soft, and even and shows off the curves of cars beautifully.

Sexy looking car though. Sorry if this is a noob question, but what front lip is that?

 

[NSX Override]

definitely the wrong time to shoot car. The sunlight is so harsh in these photos. With black, circular polarizer will help. Also, find a nicer location next time. Objects around car become very distracting and take away from your NSXs "pop" factor

Thanks for the advise fellas. I should have known, I guess this is why people shoot their cars in parking garages alot?

 

[blodi]

Really nice looking car, very nicely done!


And of course I love the lens covers. :wink:

No point in spending big money on tires until my allignment issue is fixed.

From the post about your tires before it seems like you got 10,000 miles off the rear set. Sounds like everything is fine.

BTW, Ken (nsxtasy) will tell you to match the brand and series of tires front to back too. Just a heads up. :biggrin:

I wasn't convinced on the mileage of the old tires and since everyone refused to allign the car, I went with inexpensive tires until I can verify everything.

I'm not worried about it, I don't track the car.

absolutely gorgeous... congratulations!

Fair enough. The car does look super good though.

What are the specs on the rear wheels? I'm running CE's also with 17x8 +38 hi pad for the fronts (BBK should fit just fine) but my rears are 18x9.5 +34 and wondering if it'll clear BBK.

[Rusted_nailz]

Sounds like we have identical specs on our wheels. Good to know BBK will fit all the way around for me

Advan caps on Volks? Either way, they're still expensive!
