Thanks guys. Yeah, I'm still learning this whole photography bit so I know I can only get better. Inspired & learning from the great guys up in the DSLR Gallery thread like stu46, cyberz350, etc...I'm about to buy a new & better lens pretty soon so I'm pretty excited to see what kind of pictures that will produce. Alex/Bruce, once your car is all done with your projects, just let me know. I'm always down to practice some more so long as I'm available.

Yeah, Ravi's system is f'n nuts! I only heard it at -8 & that already sounded like it was pretty close to cracking his rear windshield . BTW...Ravi's car is simply clean. You definitely have to see in in person to truely appreciate it It was funny that we ran into another Z though including a gang of Hondas which seemed to never end passing by . I just wished it wasn't as windy over there since my sinus kicked my **** later that night .

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. Yeah the wind was NUTS....

Interior is pretty basic, but I do have some more subtle audio related mods inside, will post later. Maybe will do some seats this week, not sure yet hahaha..

LOL people were thinking we were like some really important people, I took some shots with the z, so people were like who the hell are these guys (james with his pro photo positions hahaha) and me pretending to be a model hahahha. I think its safe to say we definitely stopped traffic and/or broke a lot of necks.

Thanks again!!!

the ings rear is molded, and I haven't seen a DB z with the black roof yet.

Thanks for the hate, it makes it all worth it =)

TINT!!!

I wouldn't go too dark though...maybe 35% at the lowest. It will tie it all together, esp the transition from the roof to the hatch...

GTNPU Z... Sick shots! You made Ravi's ride look even more exotic....Good job!

lol, thats why i'm here. I actually love the car. I don't like the front INGS bumper in general but thats nothing against yours. Would you ever try to mold the front? Black top is obviously a sick choice. nice.

Thanks bro ahhahaha I would probably try it, but imagine if I hit a bad speed bump the front mold would be toast.

I kinda got stuck in the mall parking lot today, thats the only downside to running kinda low with this kit. You really have to find "alternate" routes or the long way out of a place.

thanks for the props, I appreciate your comments.

sick...Ive been considering the black roof for awhile but couldn't convince myself to do it, you just convinced me =) Pics will follow. I'll probably do the handles black also. Oh and I agree about taking off the rear wiper, I did mine last month, it's a lot cleaner.

your car looks sick Ravi. congrats on finally getting the ings kit on keeping it different with the molded rear. for tint i'd go with 35% driver and passenger window, and then 20% on the small side windows and rear.
