What kind of camber kit do you have? It took me a little less than an hour to do the fronts with the Ingalls kit. The only issue I came across was getting the fuse box out of the way because of a worn down bolt.
And I had to use the trunk jack that came with the car because my other jack won't fit under the front.

I thought you needed a shop to install the camber kit? Is there a DIY anywhere?

I picked up a new lens the other day. Popped my canon L glass cherry 
Still learning how to use it, supar zoom power + my shaky ass hands = blurry pics. Went around the davis campus testing it out
Don't know how useful it'll be for shooting cars but I'll try, just gotta stand really far back I suppose

My upper control arms got stuck on the inner fender and made a loud POP when I pulled out of the driveway, but like the diy says, that's normal. The control arms would catch everytime I hit a bump, but after I shaved down the fender a little bit I've got no issues.

I was getting the popping noise with and without the camber kit. Taking away the negative camber probably pushed the control arm farther out, if anything. It only really caught on the passenger side, but when I checked the control arm was definitely sticking out a little farther than the fender. I think the only way I could have avoided the issue is by raising the front end, which isn't gonna happen. I think the popping sounded a lot worse than it really was, but it was kind of embarrassing and annoying as hell every time I hit a bump.
I'm sure a shop would trim the fender, but all I did was take a measurement and cut a little gap with a saw.

I gotcha. Hmm, I don't think my car is as slammed as yours, so we'll see what happens.
You guys might like the interior work on the CL, especially you Klepto, but you've probably already seen it. Looks clean to me.

never really liked white on an interior, only a few cars can pull it off like the super baller ones. That just has way too many colors going on and the white stands out WAY too much. Just cause somethings white and black doesnt mean i'll like it

what do you have now? For new stuff I like amazon, their prices are generally cheaper that adorama or B&Hphoto. For that lens I just bought I got it used off of http://photography-on-the.net/forum/ check out their for sale forum as well as the ones over at www.fredmiranda.com. Both have things for sale all the time and move very fast.

Its a good entry level DSLR. I'm looking to upgrade though. But it's more about the lenses than the body. Good glass > *

There's nothing wrong the the XTi, it's a great body. Every photographer knows that as long as you have a decent body, the magic happens with a good lens. Great pics Justin, my GF and I are both jealous (we're amateur photographers too).

I just saved you $420
shop with a reputable seller, like amazon, B&H or adorama. The XT is way old. The new xsi just came out (450d) a xti kit can be had for pretty cheap nowadays
