I only knew because when he first made this thread, one of the mods asked him if he would like to recover his old username (01Blacura) to PM him. Guess he refused that offer, lol.


Car has come a long way from what it looked like before though. Fast & Furious style.

I drive on the highway 80% of the time.. Do you guys think itll bother the paint??

Camera guys..

Hey guys so if any of you guys out there know much about camera's I could use your 2 cents haha..

Debating between a T5i(New) and a 7D(used)
Or anything else you guys recommend ?? I dont have alot of knowledge in photography but I took a course a while ago for a credit.

My first camera was a Cannon Rebel XTI but for christmas I got a T3i but just recently gave that way to my sister.

Thoughts?

Suggestions ?

How serious are you with photography? You play with lenses outside of the stock kit lens (18-55 f/3.5-5.6 or something)?

Get 7D if you actually need quick FPS. Since the 7D (mark 1 I'm assuming) is relatively old, I'm guessing the T5i has caught up with high ISO quality, so there really isn't much benefit to getting a 7D in my opinion. I also prefer a new camera over a used one. Lenses you could go either way.

If you feel limited by the entry level cameras' abilities (FPS, low light conditions/high ISO quality, crop vs. full frame), then consider upgrading to something better. If not, just get the T5i and start playing with better lenses. Based on what you said, you're likely not being limited by the camera's capabilities. Invest in different lenses for different applications.

I would get a 7D. I have a 40D (much older version than what you are looking at), and I have been thinking of upgrading to a 5D/7D body.

Isn't the DRL light inside the cluster bothering you?

I am fairly serious with photography. Its a side hobby but I find myself spending wayy to much money on it than planned.. I agree with what you're saying.. If i can find a good price on the 7D Ill go ahead and pull the trigger!

Bike Rack

Ordered a bike rack a little while ago, because im into biking.. But hoping it doesn't damage any part of the roof.. And also hopefully this carrier will come in handy when I go on road trips..


Any of you guys out there with bike racks? on top.

Dam son, I wish I had money to drop like that on my car lol.


Dat married life tho!

Car looks good, and bro, just take that plate off completely lol. Not legal here in Cali but who cares. I'm assuming its the same for you? The worst that happens is you get a fix it ticket. My last 2 Acuras didnt have front plates and I got a ticket one time from one of those stupid parking enforcement officers. That was in a span of 5 years. Worth it!

I have a few tickets with no front tag... "improper placement of front tag" when i had it hanging off and in the window when i park then i got one for "improper display" when it wasnt there....

Hey guys, so it has been a while!! I have been wrapped up in school and work ehh. But less talk. So I ordered a new set of wheels while I was away along with a few mods here and there.

Does anyone have instructions on how I can install my Aspec bumper??
