some would say it looks like its too much, but honestly pictures don't do her any justice. if you saw it in person i'm sure you would change your mind.

I do think that the wire loom is a bit overdone, but do you have a bigger picture so we can see the detail?

No kidding? You certainly have the skills. I'd check it out. Photography is one of those areas that people take for granted. Especially in the field I work in. No one wants to pay a photographer what they're worth.

Awesome, that has to be a good company to work for. There's something like 45 campuses nationwide. Isn't the Ai's corporate headquarters somewhere in the downtown area? I remember is being a few blocks from AiP.

I don't think you'll have a problem getting accepted. It's something like $40 - $60k for a Bachelors Degree depending on your course of study, so it's a little expensive. If you go year round, you can get a BA or BS in 3 years. There's also Associates programs and Diploma/Certificates depending on the location. Not all schools offer the same programs.

I don't know exactly what's included for Photography. Of course most classes will focus on your major except for the math, science, english etc... You have opportunities to take electives in other programs, so you would also get some experience in Graphic Design, Animation, Video Editing and Web Programming.

A lot of Ai students are nerdy or creepy or both. All the hotties are in the Interior and Fashion Design programs.

I actually like that setup and yes we are FWD.

So the question i want to ask is do you get any problems with alignment or wheel vibration? How does it feel from stock
