My car on the cover of a catalog

No biggy, but some of you may know of Rondog From the cl site and all his catalog and business card work, which i am getting into with him. Recently he made a catalog for naxxos, vault and wing rider and they chose my car for the cover. They changed the rims and dropped it, but it's still my car. It's no big deal, but they printed up 20,000 copies that will be distributed in the states and over seas with my car on the cover, look out for it in your local auto shop.

Nice honor, but I've got one Question: I know the wheels are airbrushed and so is the window tint, so how come they didnt fix the pic to close the trunk??!?!? :p

(i know its popped because thats how mine looks like without the xtra strength trunk springs to assist the added weight of the spoiler)

I realized that after the catalog went into print, to be honest, they havent noticed it.

That looks good but white is the worst color to have gaps let alone the trunk popped . They should have re did that shot.

I like it. Looks like some sort of desert shot. Also, your car would melt in less than a second if it ever got that close to the sun.

Thanks guys. The reason they chose my car was because they liked the look of it. They were sick of the ricer cars, and they wanted something with style but not overly done. The reason the rims look so fake is because they wanted the wheels to stick out a lot because that is a set of wheels that their sister company Vault is selling under a different product line. The wheels look fake like the ones in the magazine adds. As fake as it may looks i still dont care, it was an honor to be chosen to be on the cover of 20,000 catalogs worldwide. I thought more of you guys would be proud of me and our TL's, it's all good though i am happy. Plus i got paid.

The should have turned the wheels around, on the opposite side of the car. They've got them on backwards! I guess your brakes must go on the outside.

Bigman,

Your car is on point! And you're lucky enough to have someone in the right position like it as well. Whoever said it is an honor, hit the nail on the head. As for the rest of you - STOP HATING! Most of the people here are TL owners because they want a classy car with performance at a good price. Not the riced out rydes. Bigman, you managed to hook your car up and still keep it classy. So you've done what most of us want to do, but you've had the fortune of also having your "whip" published. I say "more power to you!"
