I don't know why the phone camera makes the car look taller, but in real life it looks shorter and wider

Thanks guys.
Gotta clean her up a little bit for tomorrow's meet. Then a mini detail before the shoot on Sunday. Then i'm starting a forsale thread

A couple of you guys already know what i'm getting next but lets keep it on the down low for now until I find the right one.


Here is a quick rolling video. I had a friend drive my car while i shot the video.

Have it on 480p or 720p

Uhh ohh top dogs... There's a new contender in town!

Dude your CL looks amazing can't believe you want to sell it, but I've seen you hinting at that for awhile. = Not suprised but kinda sad.
Really impressed with what they did with your CF hood. I hate that yellow look that it's got, doesn't flow with the nbp at all. But now it looks black and your saying you can still see the weave up close? Thats sick!

Yeah, honestly, you just got a lip kit for it, and you've put way too much money and effort into to it to just sell it to some kid for a low re-sale value.


I'm with the others, keep it and get another car. If you sell this car you will regret it later.

Thanks man. You can still see the weave but its not as yellow any more, more dark color so i'm pretty happy with it.

Hopefully it'll go to someone who can take care of it and keep adding to it. This can help me make a good down payment for the next car.
You guys might hate this, but what i'm getting next, i dont think i'll regret selling this one for it. and also I really dont want two weekend drivers sitting around.

Yeah I think I remember you telling me what you wanna get next.

Hopefully you'll find an appreciative buyer for the complete car.

I'm not sure he wants to publicly announce it until it would be an official thing...

But he's going to get a "murdered out" VW Bug...

Too much HDR for me though.

Cool shots, a little overdone with the post-processing IMO, but the car looks dope.

Thanks, but yeah, the pictures came out really bad IMO so i just played around with them to make them look better.

I could definitely use a professional photographer.

What do you mean they came out bad bad? Like composition-wise or like quality-wise? I think the shots look good, just a tad overdone in the editing stage. Maybe upload an un-edited photo?
