Sup Luis,

Well..first and for most the car is looking great.

But I did notice that it definitely

a)needs a grille
b)Hood seems to be out of whack (misaligned)
c)Fender needs the molding peice
b) bumper needs a bit of an adjustment


Just 4 things and other than that the car is top notch bro.

:edit:

Alot has changed since I last saw you in April though, do you stil have that Horn? I remember you mentioned it didn't work after the meet.

Clean! Likin the the flush mount and prelude blades and the one pieces!

[k-mart]

i dig your style, but.....i feel that the grill-less look takes away from the car's look from the front end. and the front wheels need to be switched

other than that, its lookin sharp. i also like the location choice for the pics.

[williamsvt]

nice pics lous, but you def. need a front grill...i think that the no front grill look isnt too great, and just imagine if a rock or something flew into there....

lovin the saw blades...they look tight.

[Kanibus]

Seeing as everyone is already talking about the lack of a grill, I wont say anything. I think the car looks alright. I'm a fan of your taillights and the 1 piece headlights...

[accordtunerx]

damn.. you really have put that thing through a transformation over the summer

i love the one piece headlights and front lip. DAMN that drop is nice too! i always say that our cars look best when they're hammered. how are you holding up driving through the city like that?

as for the pictures, the location makes for a great background.. nice and simple.. neutral. the 1st and 3rd pictures are my favorites. i like the orange colors in the first one and the positioning of your car in the 3rd one. the exposure is good on those too.. where as on your other pictures some were a little too dark. also, try and get pics of your car when it hasn't just rained

oh.. is the coloring off on your car from the front end/front doors and the rear end/rear doors? is that from repairing the one accident you got into?

i dont like the trunk spoiler.....

[br0nx finest]

Ok, lemme start with the first here:

1. Accrdkid, the hood fitment is up to par, the driver's side fender however is not, seems like this car was involved in an accident. Also the grill was broken during a diy-fest at my boy's house--been too busy to pick up a new one will do so this week. I have the molding just missing the clips as well. And the bumper is hanging because the fender rail is broken/bent (prolly for the aforementioned accident)

Also, yes I do have that horn--turns out the relay went bad, they're using a relay called the "easy horn" in order to have it ran to my alarm siren and my horn.

2. 90accordlxcb7, thanks for the compliments bro!

3. K-mart, I hate the grillless look as well. But my money has been going to other projects on the car (exhaust, maintenance) so thats why I haven't been able to (financially or time-wise) pick up a grill (also looking for a good price) but thanks for the compliments bro, I love your car

4. Kanibus, grill issue (I HATE missing a grill man) was discussed. And I also am a fan of my headlights and taillights, only thing I will change is--most likely will buy Si tails (red & clears) and 5000k phillips HIDs.

5. Accordtunerx, thanks man. I'm still working on a few more things. I'm barely holding up, the city is bad man. I scrape on most driveways and I avoid major dips on the hwys (its like a skill in NYC, must learn--after you scrape, you know to avoid that hwy again) but fuck it, my cb7 looks mean and I think in NYC there's only a few that are fuckin' with me.

Thanks man, actually the way I ended up in that location was quite hilarious and ironic to be honest. If you'd like to know I can give more info based on your interest.

Yeah, I'll try to avoid the rain for the next shoot, I thought it might at drama to the pics. And the color is off, this car had some slight damage on that side and the previous owner went to a wack body shop man. If I like the outcome of this car in a yr. I will spend around 2-3k to bring its body up to par, if not I'll buy another cb7 and swap parts.

The accidents that occured before died with the last car, I'm not sure if you realize this but the two accidents I previously had were with my old automatic cb7. The arcadia green EX w/75k miles, this one is a manual LX w/leather and 175k.

CBsevenDX, I'm sure you don't like my spoiler but do you envy the fact that I have power windows and door locks?

The car looks real good! Hopefully i'll see it in person at the palisades meet.

[jeesare]

Love the 1 piece headlights, makes me want to do the same. I like the wheels, I would keep them for now. I know you mentioned getting different ones. Rear spoiler would look nice painted as well as the lip. (imo) I still want your leather interior. Your car looks SOLID. We gotta take pics. together at the meet. I give you mad props for having a clean car in nyc. The city is brutal on the cars. It is a skill to dodge pot holes and foreign objects on the road. Looking forward to seeing it in person. Keep up the good work.

[97Lude]

drooool at the spoiler lol. Lookin good man! I like the rims too.

[gloryaccordy]

Lookin good man...I'm not sure if it's the unevenness of the driveway but your drop looks sick. I wouldn't even get a grille/fix the minor things...NYC cars are supposed to have scars, it gives them character!!!

But yea man good stuff, it looks great as always...I like the tails especially. If you go w/the Si's you know how to reach me, I def. would like to pick up those all-reds.

Can't wait till the meet man, it's gonna be a great photo session/get together. WE GONNA SHOW THEM HOW WE DO IT UP TOP!!!

[uncle_el]

everyone else is critiquing the car... i'll go onto the photos.




missing just a bit of the front bumper & the top portion of the yellow pole looks like it's sitting on top of the car.




i think it'd look better in between both yellow poles, rather than as it sits where the yellow poles distract the eye from the lines of the car (again, as though they are coming out of the car).


same comments from the previous pic.


light pole looks like it's coming out of the car. the cars down the street are a bit distracting since they're in focus (i understand it's a limitation of the camera).






a little dark... the poles in the background again appear as though they're coming out of the car.


same comments as previous pic.

[/QUOTE]
again, the yellow poles.


overall, not bad at all. your pics look like they're improving (from the threads i've seen). just remember to look through the viewfinder before you shoot, set up the shot before you take it... try, as much as reasonably possible, to get the composition perfect.

your job is to learn the camera as much as possible, and it's limitations, and push them. if the pics are going to be dark, use the flash. if you've got to post process it - use photoshop (or google's free picasa).

good pics can be taken with low end cameras... you just have to know what to do.

nice job dude, see ya at the palisades meet
