I am a total E-tard, I just learned how to use my scanner today and the WE-Todd-Did way of posting pics Have had the scanner for about a year and never used it.


The motor was an LS/VTEC that has been through 3 owners and is still running today in OHIO.

Mattj~ did you check IM? if you ever comedown gimme a call man

 

That's awesome Matt.

Chris, who knows the story behind the BFG ad.

 

I've got a big 10 foot wide vinyl poster of that on my wall.

 

I've got the little 2'x3' :shrugs: the banner wouldn't fit onto the wall very easily anyway..

 

Like this one in the backround?

thats sweet

 

when I found out it wasn't a real type R!

 

They couldn't use a real R because CW doesn't reflect light the way they needed it to. The color change of the car (silver to purple) was done with lighting in the studio. I walked in and thought the car had been painted. Don't worry I only had the ITR decals on one side for the shoot and they came right back off.

heh, what rims are those in the picture? Were the 5 lugs photshopped?

 

enkei wheels, 5 lugs PS'd

 

Yep, Photoshopped the 5 lugs, removed the moldings, and increased the size of the wheel as wheel as made them appear to spin, the wheels on the car where 17s
Later I'll scan and post the original pics of the car at the shoot if you want.

yes please

Also photochoped the wing? That's crazy ish...

 

Well, that picture fooled everyone... a GSR posed as an ITR.... but that's always been a favorite shot of the ITR for me...

 

You can't really tell that it's not a Type R other than the exhaust tip. The ITR tip is fully contained while other integras appear "cut off."

to the photshopper's at BFG!

 

You can tell by the lower control arms too

 

 

The wing was on the car and the exhaust was a greddy system.
Here are two pictures from the shoot untouched.
