I ruined the Legend again....

Well got bored and decided to change up the Legend again.
Full custom Air ride setup. running on Airlift V2 management.
MDX headlights. not 100% completed still need to make some vacuum formed shrouds.
The Rohana's went bye bye and i had a set of Avant Garde M540's made. 20x10 +38 and 20x10.5 +43 with 255/35/20 Rubber
The New Dip was a 4 stage process and it has lots of sparkles in it.

Can we get some headlight shots at night? What about the LED fogs? What are your thoughts? Either one of my bulbs or ballast went out in the Tundra, and I might have to change things up.

headlights i will have to get some shots later once i raise them up. they are aimed way too low at the moment. the fogs are purely cosmetic ATM waiting on OEM switch so i can turn them on when ever i want and bypass the high beam turnoff

Nah the quad setup has been stripped and parted out. Last time I offered it it never sold. I can always do a quad setup over the winter if you are interested

Car is sweet. I want to see it lower in a more sporty wheel set up.
Maybe wrapped in laguna seca blue. Would be killer.

Good job with the car, I'm digging the color

Would definitely recommend Carbon Legend for quads if you want to go down that road. The quad setup he built for me looks so close to stock, it's hard to tell unless you look at it up close or I have the lights on. And let me tell you, when I have the lights on, boy is it a conversation starter

Nothing wrong with staggered if it's done right. I might be biased though, because I'm running staggered lol *flame suit on*

Nice work! Curious on the air ride set-up.

LMAO Damn dude. You really got the jollies for me huh?

Well get the fuck over yourself bro. You're starting to sound like a cry baby having an issue with everything I say; from telling you you're wrong for thinking someone spent a fortune on a simple murdered out look to thinking my suggestion and shooting the shit with fellow members is demanding they change their car build it how I would build it. Go play in traffic.

I managed to snag this shot last week before grabbing some grub with friends. The storm was crazy with the best lightning i have seen all year. Super stoked i got this shot.

I would believe either suggestion. Looks too good to be true, but it also looks real enough to pass as legit.

The key to originality for me is the distortion from the thermal lines in the rear window. While I am sure that could be replicated in software, I am not sure how you would know how to distort the light. I believe you.

Honestly, the water droplets on the paint look less real than the lightning.

I was out on a construction site about 3 years ago and there was a nasty storm blowing in from the west. I wanted to take a picture of some of the construction equipment for my little nephew who was obsessed with big machines at that time. As chance would have it, lightning hit at the exact second my iPhone took the picture. It looked phenomenal. You wouldn't even believe the photo was taken with a cellphone.

I believe OP definitely could have got lucky with that shot also. You cant even plan for it. It just happens, if you're so lucky!!

You can plan it to some extent with a burst or a slow shutter speed.

Yes, if your camera allows for it. I have no idea what OP was using, but if I remember correctly, my 4S wasn't capable of doing that. Then again, I think pretty much all cameras do it these says, so I'll just shut up now
