New pics after long time

So it's been a while since I posted new pics and today was pretty much perfect weather. I gotta say, photographing black cars is damn near impossible for the average person. All of these photo are heavily photoshopped by me and my terrible photoshopping skills






I think this picture really captures how many lines are actually on the 2G TL (plus it masks my awful paint condition ). It really is a gorgeous car.





Sorry if you dont like the editing but trust me, the original pics were terrible. Ill take any photoshopping advice you guys have

Enjoy!


A little more info: you guys may have noticed my many for sale threads. I am getting rid of the car but not as soon as I would have hoped. I might wait till I graduate college next May so I can take advantage of some graduation discounts. My plan is to lease a Gen Coupe 2.0 6MT or something similar. In the meantime Ive always wanted the lip kit, so I pulled the trigger on some DEP side skirts I found in the BM. DEP really is a beautiful color up close. I may not even repaint them I plan on completing the kit eventually, and who knows, I might fall in love with the car again and keep it.
