RonJon Photoshoot (High Res Photos)

So Rondy emailed be asking for some photos for him to use for a catalog of his 2010 line. We've had some beautiful days in Boston, so I headed out to Cochituate State Park to take some photos. In classic "trick" photography, I only needed to clean 1/2 the car and 2 wheels with some quick detailer, it was far to hot to try and clean the whole thing.

I pulled out all my artillery on this one. My D40 with the Nikon 18-200, Sigma 30mm f1.4 and Sigma 120-400.

Enjoy!

Sharp, not a big fan of the Ron Jon grill...but it works with how you configured the look.

Lol - Yup - I did the exact same. That was one of the first photos I took, and it came out great!

Thanks Everyone, Rondy really takes the credit for the ride. Wheels and grille does wonders. JnC obviously for the lights, he does awesome work.

Another nice set of pics Pete. The car is looking really good, the wheels are just awesome!

Nice camera equipment as either, since I'm a Nikon guy as well.

Do some searches about voiding warranty for aftermarket parts, basically they can only void the warranty for things that might have accelerated wear (like shocks). There is no rubbing, not nearly aggressive enough. Wheels are 8.5 wide with +40.

Hey Pete thanks for the info on the springs, I called Acura today and they said warranty would be ok if I drop it.
Just wondering about how much of a drop u made? I researched the springs and there is a 1 or 2 inch drop. What did u do?
And sorry I'm not up all sizes and offsets can u gimme e specifics of the wheels and tires?

Also i msged jnc and can't get a hold of him... Do u have a number for his business? Or an email?
Thx for the help man.

The drop was probably like 1.5 inches. Little more in the back than the front, not sure why. As for the tires and wheels, they are in my sig. The wheels are 20x8.5 with a +40 offset. So if you were looking for 20's I would stick to somewhere between +35 and +55(which i think is stock).

As for JnC - he's just a guy, no real business. You can read thru his headlight thread on the 4g forum to see, I think he put his email in there.

Hey Pete thx again for all the great info. Just wondering about the springs... I looked around and there is two options for those a 1 or 2 inch. Just wondering which u have installed.

I looked for jnc email but couldn't find it so I pm him again. Hope he gets back to me soon bc I want to get all the mods completed before summer is out.

Looking at ronjon grill, blacked and cleared lights, h&r springs, gionelles spidero 5 20's.... Can't wait it's gonna look great.

So then, Sir, which is the hottest 4th Gen..... in your opinion of course

Cause i think Pete's TL is one of the hottest if not THE hottest TL. Mine wants to be like his when it grows up.

Wow, if the TL came out of the factory like that, most of the image problems would be solved!

Very nice work!

There are only 1 set of springs - they drop an average of 1-2, nothing is exact with springs.

Thanks guys!

It's all a matter of personal preference, but all that matters is that I love the look. Only a couple more things planned for it then I'll be done (unless CT gives us a supercharger, then I've got some problems...)
