Nice!! Mad luv for another white F!!!

Not to be a critic but I think you should have just done a light re-spray of the calipers in gloss black AND THEN stuck on your yellow "brembo." It just looks a little cheesy up close I'm sure.

No problem but I want this to be a totally reversible mod so didn’t want to spray anything. Otherwise I would have just done the entire caliper in yellow or orange. If you saw it in person you’d agree I’m sure.

FYI: You could NEVER EVER tell it’s a decal if you are standing even right next to my car. You would have to be on your knees with your face pressed up close to notice it’s a decal! A few of my buddies thought I already bought new Brembo’s for the IS-F! haha

Already have some new mods on the car but will wait for the next shoot to show the car 

Found a local photographer willing to shoot all of my cars together so look for a really fun shoot very soon!

I'm just not that great a photographer with my 40D to really capture these cars....


stay tuned,
rick

What do you mean by "new" Acura? The NSX is a 2004 model year

All the cars are unique in their own way but if you are going by raw seat of the pants feel, the s2000 seems to be the quickest just because of all the beautiful noises it makes as it heads for redline. You get to hear a combination of the whine, exhaust and VTEC all at one is something fun to behold. My girl notes that even at 70mph, the s2000 feels like we're doing 100mph!

The Lexus IS-F in comparison is so cushy and quiet ~ a simple no frills engine that sounds harmonius all the way to each shift point. It disguises your actual speed until you see red/blue lights flashing behind you! I'm still not sure if this is a good or bad thing....haha

Thanks for the kind words!

Special thanks to Tom @ VDMPhoto for the photoshoot, he dropped off the full size pictures on CD so I wanted to share some of my favorite ones he took…..we are planning another shoot dedicated to the IS-F once the car is finished with new rims, etc.

Enjoy
Rick
