Brandon's ACURA RSX

If you've been keeping up with me on Instagram, then you all know whose car this is. Almost exactly a year ago I got the opportunity to shoot Brandon's car for the first time. Comparing his car back then to now.. you can tell a lot has changed.

So before school kicked into gear again, we decided to catch up and shoot some pictures.
2013
Fast forward one year to today, and you'll see that more than a handful of things have come and gone. Gone are the old iTR rims, and in it's place are a set of white Regamasters. Along with the lip and new sideskirts, it currently sits low but with a bit of leeway in between.

2014
Pigeons almost pooped on his car.. twice.

Gone are the stock seats and in place of those are a set of red Recaros. The stock OEM steering wheel is gone as well, replaced by a new steering hub and a Key's Racing aftermarket wheel. If you peer in through the rear hatch glass, you'll notice the rear seat delete. The rest of the rear interior has been gutted too, and in it's place is the rear strut bar.




Walking around the car, I noticed that he installed his new side skirts. 12 hours prior, he told me he wasn't going to bother putting them on. But on a last minute whim, he said "fuck it" and ended up putting them on in the middle of the night.





We ended up catching up on a lot.. but one story stuck out in my mind. He told me how he accidentally clipped a rabbit one night and it broke a piece of his bumper. If I recall correctly.. he described it to me as a "ball of white fluff exploding" as he looked back in the rear view mirror (hahaha). As terrible as it sounds, I found it somewhat funny, because his story immediately reminded me of this. Enjoy.


All jokes aside though, I've come to really appreciate the car that Brandon's got. The way he's got it setup is to be clean, simple, and nothing too crazy. This is how it sits... for now. Can't wait to see the changes another year from now.


Overall, it was fun shooting his car! I was afraid that the light that day was going to be a bit too harsh, but I think they turned out okay! I decided to keep the shots simple, nothing complicated or fancy. Hope you guys enjoyed reading this, and if you happen to see either one of us feel free to say hi!

I'll catch you guys on the next post.
