Observe some pics my friend took. I'm pretty lucky as he has great equipment and takes some very nice shots.

If anyone can guess what car the rear spoiler came from (its not OEM), you win a hero cookie. No flaming if you don't like it ;) I think it looks great. Makes the car look totally different.

I gave up after shrinkmyride wanted $500 dollars for his used Beat OEM spoiler. This one cost me $25 off ebay!

This is how small the beat is compared to an average vehicle in Canada!

Looks great, very clean. Pic #2 is my favorite of the shoot.

Good to see yet another Alberta Beat owner, I'm trying to round up everyone I can for a spring cruise so hit me up with a PM if you'd like to join in.
Cheers,

No, Im afraid its not my taste.

Oh, Please!!! Type R badge on a beat!!! The Original 'Beat' sticker looks so much better.

I knew I'd get flack for that ;) The car is in desperate need for a paint job, and I will put the "Beat" decals when I get it repainted next year...plus the type-R decals were free (the price is right!) I figured at least its a Honda! :awwww: No one around here knows what a Beat even is, so the type-R almost seems believable:D I have some OEM MTREC badges I'm waiting to put on as well, but not until the new paint.

The reason I choose to use the dark paint on the spoiler and such was that I did not want a bad paint match, and because i'm getting it repainted next year, I will probably get the dark parts painted yellow again. The dark paint is actually just spray bomb krylon Fusion textured black. I had to paint the spoiler some how as it was scratched silver when i got it from ebay. I figured that this would hold me off...and I don't think it looks bad all said and done (it could be much worse!)

i agree with the comments about the type r badge etc but thats just personal taste really - still a very nice set of pics. we tried to take some decent ones of ours recently with very mixed results, the lighting on the container one looks really nice.

:rolleyes: Oh, was I suppossed to be looking at the pictures for their artistic content rather than technical.

It doesn't look too shabby at all. The problem when you start modding is that some will like it and some won't. The most important thing is that you like it.
