First of all, I dig your wheels a LOT. Second, that nose emblem is sweet too

Have you ever considered lowering the car?

Awesome pics but instead of just praising I'll give some input as well.
1. Definitely drop your car if you can do so without clearance hassles. The stance kills it.
2. The second picture would be awesome if centered.

i am not worried about lowering the car because i am not set on what springs i want nor do i wanna blow money on springs if i decide to coil over the car....that is not an issue with me atm because i wanna give the **** some power before i dont anything more to make it look good...i got a motor to build, a 12 bolt to order and a 6spd to look for :P...trust me...it will be as low as i can get it without bagging it and being able to use it everyday with a high hp 383...plus i gotta fix the front nose becuase i ****ed it up ....


as for the 2nd picture being not centered these are not just snapshots, they are photographs i've been working on...you never center you subject in a photograph...just a rule...


bluez...want the wheels?...i am going to change to TT2s with a gunmetal center...i hate these because of the damn lug nut choice you have to deal with...they dont wanna stay ****ing tight

first of all.....do not take pictures of the car in sunlight....make sure its in the early morning or around dusk when the sun starts to set....black = reflections!!!...you dont want that


i try and use the iso setting at 50 speed...then compensate for light with the aperture and shutter speed...


for a black car, any car you're gonna want to use a cicular polarizer to help reduce glare off the car and the glass....notice how mine is somewhat almost non glared out...


for a location you wanna find a good place that has no distractions taking away from the car...industrial settings i find are best...or some old road with no traffic...try and keep parking lot lines out of the pictures at all times...they distract....try and mess with angles of the car and use a tripod...do not do this freeh and because you will get a good shot but it will end up soft or blurred

my pictures are photochopped to hell but i also sorta know what i am looking for before i take the pictures so i know exactly what to do with them



got take a bunch of pics and we will see what i can help you with

it looks like you need an alignment the front tires look toed in a little. the car looks great though. but i thought you got all new black anodized emblems or something? a drop would make that car georgous.

The 2nd 3rd and 5th should be in a magazine. Definitly the B&W one.
