Awesome photos! I especially like the black and white shots.

Any idea how close a color match the alabaster silver is to silver storm metallic?

I have no idea but I almost want to say its the new name for ssm if it is indeed retired

Thanks, I usually dont go b&w since my legend is well that already but this silver works better for it.

Wow, thanks for the inspiration! My car is going on 2 months old and I haven't taken any pics yet. I really want to get some shots with all this clean blizzard snow on the ground!

I love the silver. I was *this* close to buying a 2011 in silver, but went with the 2010 in red.

Thanks man

Those TSX wheels have been the biggest PITA but are soo worth it. The guy who sold them to me lied about the millage on the tires and their overall condition so once i shipped the "mint" set to me I had to go buy new tires. Before I could mount them i needed to bore out the hub to fit on the legend since honda decided to make a smaller hub on all its cars in '96. so all in all it was over $1500 before i even had the car aligned. since then they have gone through tires every year.

oh well im one of 3 legends to have ever had them on the car. so more pics






and one of my buddies

You are a good photographer! I really like this color. Kind of wished they had them when I bought my TW, thought I still like that one too.

Nice! I'm not a fan of silver cars, like at all, but silver looks so great on the 11's.

Imo, its better than ssm, which suffered from color identiy crisis. Honda seems to have thought so too...hence the proper grey and silver offerings now.

Congrats, and awesome pics man!

thanks man getting the proper lighting to see all the creases and lines in the metal is nearly impossible.

Thumbs up You stole this pic from a Honda photoshoot....



I'm sure Honda spent hours finding the right shot to show off its new color for the Fit and you took credit for it, not to mention what they paid the professional photographer, your going to get in trouble!



























....................J/K but damn is that a great pic! If FF had a yearly calender, that would make it in there hands down
