New pics of the 8 and a co-worker's Si. 5-18

Hey guys, just got my new D60 and took some shots, the weather was pretty beautiful. Me and a co-worker decided to go snap some shots at an unfinished warehouse near my place. Haven't had any time to PS them or what not. Let me know what you guys think. Comments, criticism, suggestions all welcome. I'm fairly new at photography so definitely a work in progress.

Here they are:

Great pics, and decals . I also have a D60, but I am still learning how to use it. It's quite a camera.

Very nice pics.

I have the same cars; 09 SI and an 06 8. Been thinking about taking some pics, will do it soon.

What % tint do you have on the front windows, I like it.

No tint on the windshield of either cars. I can see how it looks that way in some of the pix though....

Oh sorry, the 8 is 15% on the front windows. The Si is 35% all around.

I just got my car a couple of months ago. I think the 8th gen Si are pretty sexy compared to prior models... I'm working on getting an Exoticspeed exhaust then maybe get new tires... Whatever I have after that will go for winter rims and maybe some new springs. Car only has 3k on it so I'm hesitant to change them out at the moment.

Purely a matter of opinion. Rice is a totally different story. Realize when you say rice it means unnecessary accent lighting, whale tails, fart cans and cheap mods along with sticky vents and the such. I've seen plenty of rice and the car in that picture is definitely not one of them. Stock to stock it's a little slower but tune to tune the 8th Gen Si's will destroy the 8. Just saying... I've kept up with him in my old 04 but he leaped ahead. I doubt the same thing would happen with brand new coils in my 08. I'm not crazy about the front end of civics but they are sharp cars nonetheless. I wouldn't trade my 8 for one out of choice but I wouldn't mind driving one to get nearly the same amount of power with 30+mpg. @_@

Actually Sysco. I live right across the street from them just off National Turnpike. There's a couple of new warehouses going up back there. I work off commerce crossings, that's probably where our next night pics will be.

nice pics. The civic Si does look good. May be you should swap the wheels with the Si . Will match the color of your 8.

I love the D60! Quite an upgrade from a Sony Cybershot from 4 years ago LOL. I have a couple of new filters coming in. Maybe a new lens in a couple of months when I get too frustrated with this one lol. Decals are great, you made them!

A Mazda with HFP (Honda Factory Performance) rims would get bashed so bad... Heh... I'd rather stay true to the 40th Anniversary Edition and keep these. If anything additional to the body, maybe the aero kit and a European Anniversary Edition Spoiler or the Mazdaspeed Spoiler.
