Some Pics of my C7

[at1183]

So, I got some new lenses for my DSLR (70-300mm and 50mm). I just got the camera a few months ago, and I am starting to learn how to use it.

Unfortunately, my Photoshop CS6 trial expired, and I haven't gotten around to finding my CS5.5, so I couldn't edit the photos at all, but some of them came out good.

Haven't done anything to the car yet. Some recent changes at my company, haven't given me much spare time.

I plan on getting H&R springs in July. I wanted RS6 Wheels (Peelers), but they wont clear without spacers, so I'm back to the drawing board for a 20" OEM wheel

Also, I've been trying to find a dealer who can import ABT products. They make a rear spoiler wing that looks incredible. I like their rear valance kit with Quad exhaust tips, but its only for non-prestige model bumpers








Open to any and all feedback.

Nice looking car and some nice pics as well. There are several of us just starting out with DSLRs too, so welcome.

Welcome!

Agree. First pic looks great. I am just starting out with my DSLR too... but that 50mm lens is something I have on my list. I am looking at the Sigma f/1.4.

Just a quick thought about your H&R springs..... don't. I am now biased but I would not purchase anything H&R. I was a happy camper with them for years until recently. If you are thinking about springs (hopefully you are thinking new dampers as well), I would suggest the ST Coilovers. They are made by KW and in fact at the same internals used in the Variant 1 - (same preset dampening as well).

The savings come from them using a galvanized steel vs. Inox Stainless Steel. There are several of us running the STs and are VERY happy. To top it off, I had them delivered to my door for less than H&R springs and shocks would have been.

At any rate, love the look of the car and have fun with that DSLR!

Same name. Yeah I remember your TL's, my DD is a 3G TL and I am still on AZ! I also think you know Carlos with the 4G TL? How you liking the switch? I came from BMW>Audi my Acura is my DD.

White with US-spec frontlights.... perfect.

Pretty sure Carlos has a bunch of my parts on his car! I also installed a couple things for him. His 4G looks great, makes me miss mine (my 2nd one)

The switch definitely took some getting used to....But I have been loving Audi's style for years. I was going to get a C6 A6/S6 or an S5, but I wanted something that was brand new in styling. The C7 fit the bill perfectly!

Only thing I dont like that much are the seats.. My last 3 TLs had far superior seat design/shape.... the leather also looked/felt better in the Acura, and I dont think it was composed of any vinyl, like the Audi is

Thanks, but I love the EU spec headlights 1000x more... I always used to bake and customize my Acura headlights to remove the amber reflector... no way am I putting these $3k+ LED headlights in my oven lol....

I had a Rebel T3, so I went with the Canon ef 50mm f1.8. Cheap lens, great for portraits. The 3rd and 5th picture were taken with the 50mm.
