Beautiful shots man! But man I can't believe you still have the Spring Spacers on. You need to jack the front end up and pull those blocks off your front springs.

Your ride will become a lot better.

he mostly does weddings and portraits. there's not much money in car photography

thanks though!

thanks for the help on the spacers guys, I will check again. Im pretty sure when I inspected the car nothing was on the shocks (Evo's have the same spacers on the suspension prior to delivery), so if they're there, I'll be sure to get the dealer involved

Anyways I think those pictures are sick too, oyur bro did a good job, and if he's pro then I give him props it is hard to take shots of cars, I took so many photgraphy classes and automobiles were the hardest to capture, because lighting is key for the cars shape, lines, structure, and identity. I saw what he had to work with and I think they were sick, one of my projects I did for camera school was pictures of my '04 Sunset Le Mans Touring Z, and the came out sick after practicing with other cars, the interior shots were sick, especially at night with the car moving and the dash light moving and splicing! But anyways sick A$$ car, love it bro, love it!

from what I understand, white cars are very difficult to photograph. he mainly does weddings as those have the highest returns (he does these part time, as he is a Bankruptcy Analyst at Chase) - so in a way, you could call the whole thing as a "hobby". Ive helped him once on a wedding carrying all his stuff around and he took home around $6K for one day -and those dont even include the prints. its a lucrative business, but only if you know people though - he's part of a wedding photograper community and they all get jobs by word of mouth. cars he doesnt really shoot a lot since most people cheap out (they balk at a $20 shoot) unlike portraits and weddings (where an average shoot is about $2000).

If you're ever in the area, let me know so he can take pics of your car

ThanX-much for all the compliments. And to everyone who informed me regarding the spring blockers, thank you. They told me that only the front has those, so I hope all is set. Me and my brother took more pics of the car, and everyone's right, when the spring settled, it looks sick. Like the back end is a little lifted and coming down towards the front of the car. It's leveled now and looks better.
