I think I can be safe in saying that the Acura NSX is probably one of the most sexiest cars ever. Sure, the Europeans have cars that give it a run for the money but growing up in socal, this car is the that got away for the majority of us. With the discontinuation of this Tokyo Exotic back in 2005, trying to get your hands on one will get more and more difficult . We can already see evidence of that now. Almost every car in the market has plummeted except for the NSX. :bangshead:
When I met Jeff this past Sunday, I knew he had a beautiful car but… “My oh my!” when I first saw it coming up the hill on the opposite side of the street, I was like “Hot Damn that beast is sexy!” I was like a little school girl jumping for joy over and over in my head (um, I just did 50 push ups to counter act the fact that I said I was a school girl). The sounds were very sexy indeed.
The 1992 NSX is the product of Jeff’s vision of producing a car that is unique, fast and controllable. No corner cutting here. Without getting into a mod list, here are some of the goodies found on his car. Carbon Fiber Dymag Rims, NA2 conversion headlights and bumpers, brembo brakes and a supercharger is a one off by Whipple that has a larger displacement of 2.3L vs. the 1.6L made by the Comptech one. It put down 435 rwhp on a dyno dynamics dyno. Carbon fiber front lip, rear wing, rear diffuser, rear window garnish, are made by DOWNFORCE, red hot chili from the Mini Cooper with a black pearl top and mirrors to match, Sparco seats, Simpson Racing Belts, Rear wide body (not sure which one at this time) along with all the cooling for the motor and supercharger. Unfortunately, I wanted to put the interior off til it was completely dark so I can get the glowing gauges but it was getting so late, I was not able to get any shots of it but you can believe me, it was gorgeous inside.
Below you can check out rolling, static and detail shots from the shoot.
Thanks again to Jeff and his wife Jane for taking the time out to meet me and my wife.

Great pics, love the composition. Pictures overall are a bit too saturated…. however, looking at your other shots, I suppose this is your “style?”

Thanks for your comments and critique…
My colors are saturated but I feel as though they are not grossly saturated, I want them to be a bit hyper but that is not priority. I view my work on a calibrated monitor and it can look really saturated on uncalibrated screens. Also, reds are very tough to manipulate because red hues arent as dynamic as other hues.
I cant say yet that my style is all about saturation. I like rich colors but I do try to work on all aspects of my photography
