It looks allot better with the hard top. My opinion on the car, you will have a lot of fun taking photos of it, they look cool from just about every angle. we had one on the lot and I drove it for a weekend. When the VTEC kicks it the sound is down right obnoxious. In a good way! I found myself away watching that digital tach just waiting for it to hit 6800 and then blast right to 9000. Very civil but when you wind ip up its like unleashing a beast!!!!Very cool car! As for the photos they have that perfect processed look. The saturated colors give it a very cool commercial/ad type photo. My first impression I couldn't decide/understand if this was a photo, image or illustration. I like it tho. Very artistic!:thumbup:
