Great pictures. Just one question though...The front of the car down the middle looks like an exact mirror image. The reflections are dead on...why was it edited after the shoot?

 

[RYU]

Awesome car! Sick photos! Very talented photographer

 

[arista5]

Congratulations!!

I must ask, how tall is the driver? there is no way My seat would be that far forward to allow for the sub enclosure.

 

[SFDreamer]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Great shots Jordan! Really really enjoyed the shoot. Very professional, punctual, and talented! If anyone gets the chance to shoot with him I would definitely suggest it! More mods and then I'll be back!:biggrin:

I must ask, how tall is the driver? there is no way My seat would be that far forward to allow for the sub enclosure.

I am a whopping 5'7.5" :biggrin:. It's possible that the angle of the shot may exaggerate how close I sit to the wheel. For me it is definitely an ideal seat position for my legs, arms, etc. However, the passenger seat is all the way back and rests a couple millimeters in front of the enclosure. I love it, the passenger doesn't lose ANY foot space and the sound is still clean and crisp.

 

[baynsac]

Very talented photographer and the Car is JUST SICK!!! Love the color.
What kind of seats are those? The toggle switch on the centerconsole, whats that for? also is that your boost guage built in Sick!!

 

[LMR]

I did not think your car could look any better but WOW!!!

 

[JCC]

Great photos. This is one sick NSX...and Steve is not a bad guy either. :biggrin:

 

[Juice]

More importantly, I had the chance to meet Steve @ NSXPO and he is truely a great guy and enthusiast. Congrats on the award bro. The color on your car was my favorite. Now about the lack of a trunk....

 

[Hapa88]

Great pictures. Just one question though...The front of the car down the middle looks like an exact mirror image. The reflections are dead on...why was it edited after the shoot?

It is edited. The rock chips are in the exact same places too. :biggrin: What gives it away too are the shadows in the white wall on the left (meaning there should be a shadow on the righthand side of the car). They probably did that to make the subject car just POP from the picture.
I guess those details don't matter much to me because i think it looks pretty darn good. :biggrin:

 

[Texas91Brent]

Great photos...is this the same car that came from Dallas that came with a trailer full of parts? Then the guy sold all the parts and the car was almost free? Same car was in Modified magazine and went for sell to the guy who owns it now? :smile:

 

[mcano]

Steve, I did not get a chance to congratulate you in Vegas. So:

A BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!!!!

 

[jordansx]

Thanks everyone for the kind words! My job is a lot easier when I have such an amazing subject to shoot

Yes I reflected half his car over itself. The shadow on the right side of the car was horrible and I didn't really have time to set up the shot so the shadows would be even. Also, it was extrememly windy at the time and only got a couple quick snaps or I risked having his award blow away in the wind off the bridge that was probably 100 feet in the air.

Congratulations!!

I must ask, how tall is the driver? there is no way My seat would be that far forward to allow for the sub enclosure.

I actually moved the seat forward a bit so that the subs/enclosures could be seen in the shot. But Steve has a gorgeous and extremely clean interior. I just love it! His keyhole backup camera was pretty cool too.

 

[SilverOne]

NICE shots, and clean car!

 

[jordansx]

More importantly, I had the chance to meet Steve @ NSXPO and he is truely a great guy and enthusiast.

I definitely agree. I work with a lot of exotic cars and their owners and the NSX crowd is definitely my favorite, and steve is no exception to that. Hes a really awesome down to earth guy.


Also I just updated the first post with his complete list of modifications

 

[JZ TWINS]
