This is how the Coupe should have come stock...no reason for all that space between the wheel and the body.
 
DAMN!!!! Your car looks damn hot! These pictures make me feel I picked the right color! The drop is just perfect! No need to eliminate the finger gap.

Good job man! I agree that's how the coupes should have came from factory. I just wished they had HFP kits for the sedans.

Do you plan on installing different wheels or keeping them stock?
 
nice... Eibach springs ftmfw.... :)
 
I thought I would never like the accord in that color, but my god your car looks perfect.
 
Beautiful. The first silver coupe that really caught my eye.
 
Excellent work dking99... Keep goin back and forth about the Aero kit for my car, that really looks great, and the drop is the topping on the cake... :)
 
How's the ride?

I'm also considering the pro-kit but have some concerns:

1) how does it ride compared to stock? I wouldn't want to feel every little bump as the stock ride is already pretty firm for my taste.

2) how much did it cost you to install it? Did you have to align it with alignment kit?

3) will lowering the car shorten the life of stock struts/shocks significantly?

Hope to hear from those who actually has the pro-kit modification.

Thanks.
 
man, what type of camera did u use to take these pixs? looks great. they look like they are out of a magazine. nice angles.
 
if you look at the Exif data on the pics, you'll see he is using a nikon D3. damn nice camera.

are you using any kind of polarizer or other filters on your lens or are you doing all that stuff in postproduction? I have a D80 and have tried taking some decent shots of my car, but they dont come out the way i want. what is your setup like when you shoot?

Dking, what kind of camera are you using to take those pics?

Right on with the D3. This camera is considerably sharper than any of the other Nikon bodies. The 24-70mm lens is also contributing (or not degrading) to the sharpness of the images as well.

As for color, I didnt change any of the color or exposure in photoshop - only a few were cropped. Most are straight from the camera except for the first shot, which I did add a good amount of saturation. Then there are two psuedo HDR shots I put together - the ones that have the detail in the clouds. All images are shot in manual, ~1/125, f5.6, ISO200. The key is to shoot about an hour before the sun goes down. Also, try and shoot with the sun to your back, or at least dont shoot into the sun.

I cant think of any other mod that distiguishes my coupe from most others more than the HFP kit...If you can get it for a good price, go for it.
