Joegengsta - naw, i just used the reduce noise filter on photoshop since i dont have a soft lens yet (it was the only thing done in photoshop, currently saving up for a 10-22mm wideangle lens

c-west350 - the rims are AME challens, sorry that they're too dark, my monitor is pretty bright so i guess i misjudged the brightness

evimero350 - 6 1/2 inches

solidsnake - hid kit installed...8000k i think?

FairladyZX - it is, he sold it to me not too long ago, and yeah, that s2k guy is a good friend of mine, it probably was the same car


thanks everyone for the comments, in several months i plan to start modding it on my own since im trying to buy some lenses for the camera, some engine work here and there, and hopefully the vertex full rear bumper....or maybe a do-luck kit if the cash flow is better soon

im currently trying to learn how to use a dslr camera alot better, so any advice and critiques would be welcomed, and if anyone wants the original/clearer shots since the ones i posted are pretty soft, feel free to ask or message me for them, thanks!

yeah, it was REALLY dark outside, im suprised i even pulled off these shots, the aperture value was at the widest possible opening (on the 18-55 kit lens)...and the shutter was set at 15-30 seconds for most of the shots, i'd use the bulb speed, but i dont have a remote yet to hold down the button without moving the camera, but it will probably be my next buy

nice shots and nice cars ... however, what ever noise reduction program (maybe neat image?) you ran those through, you gotta adjust it... those pics are reallly soft looking... unless you were goin for that look... but for the 1st time i must say not bad...

Love the shots and your car, I really think that rear camber degrades the look of your car though, thats just crazy! -3 degree or more!
