What are some good angles to take pictures of our cars at? Post some up so I can get ideas... I'm about to have the car done up right. I already ordered my tach (5" Auto Meter Sport Comp with shift light), rims (16" Rota Slipstreams in silver), tires (16" Azenis), and I already have my entire stereo setup done up right..

So what are some good angles. I took about 10 pictures today and these are the only ones that came out good at all:

Whoa! whoa, wait a minute, the Azenis is a awesome tire, but you can't get them in 16" in the correct size, you ordered 215/45-16" didn't you. They will rub on your rear fender lip, roll them and they should fit, well I hope they do for your sake.;)

The hatchback looks best when shot from a height no taller than the roof line. If you do shoot above the roof line I'd do it from a distance. Try and pick your back ground in a way that it's not cluttered and does not draw attention away from your car. Always get the whole car in the picture. Make your back grounds work for you, not against you. Shot's that have you pointing the camera as if you were drawing a line from say the left front corner, to the right rear corner, work well, same for the back end. Head on and directly on the rear of the car are not really interesting.

I'll try and post my pics, providing I can cut them down to 50K:mad:

I've got one picture of my car. It's at http://87accord.com/
Once I get good rims/tires and lowered I'll work on others.
That damn tail light condensation!

Wow.. some excellent angles. Nice glossy paint too? Is that a respray job or the original paint?! I still have to shave my antenna and get rid of a few rust spots before I paint mine. I'll be sprayed black.

It is the original paint job. It was garage kept it's whole life my the original owner. It does have a spot on the right side by the hatch that's starting to haze.

I like it black. If you saw it in person, you would see why.

I know this is off topic but is that the origonal throttle body you have their if not what is it.
