Default My Latest "Shoot" - Rooftop Parking Lot

Shot some pics in the beautiful NorthEastern 70 degree weather yesterday. Too bad the warmth isn't sticking around for long... Anyway, here is a sampling of the pics; plenty more where this came from. Pics were shot with just your average Nikon Coolpix or something; no digital SLR here yet.

My favorite...










She's still shining pretty nice after 60k. This is with no Zaino, just some Wax-As-U-Dry by RainX I believe... Fresh claybar and waxing to be coming once the weather is surely spring.

Nice, CS is one of my fav. colors. You have the Veilside V1 rear lip, correct? Are you happy with it? Was it easy to install? Got any closer pics of it?

thanks all... the whole kit is Veilside V1... the rear fitment is good except where it mounts there are two small (.25") cracks in the fiberglass.

Yeah the drop is PERFECT... and rides better than stock. Handling appears to be the same as stock though as spring rates are very similar.

As far as rear shots go, I didn't get any that day. I'll try to line up another "shoot" this weekend or next week when the weather gets nicer and get some rear angle and direct rear shots. I'm assuming people want to see the appearance of G wheels spaced out from the rear...

i think that the hotchkis springs are perfect for a daily driver and a moderate drop... but i think once you switch to a lower profile tire like the recommended 35 series for 19s you'll want a tad bit more drop. just my .02

Yeah, I'm using OEM tires... Hopefully I won't need tires for another 10k or so, but i'll worry about 'more drop' then... or I'll just go with some 40 series again. I only daily drive the car and like a little more sidewall if possible.

Only "Rear" Shot I have since the new set-up... Took it in my parking garage. Car is not on flat ground and its not directly from the rear, but I will get some rear shots on flat ground and better lighting soon.
