ch1zo randomly updated progress thread

Hey Azine,

So I never started a progress thread just cause I like keeping my stuff a surprise, but here is my current setup. I looked into so many different wheels, but decided that the OEM's looked amazing when lowered so why get rid of them. Instead I wanted something that "popped" but still had that clean look. This is what she looks like and hope you guys like it!

photos are killer.... I suggest to take it easy on the random watermark name thingy. The great photos speak for themselves. So much so, that a subtle corner or bottom centered logo will suffice.

Did you add some PS lens blur on a few? If so... nice subtle execution.
If not... How the hell did you get that small of a focus range & bokeh at 3.2 using 70mm.

Now on to the car. Fantastic use of tasteful mods. I love the tips!
Silver for the win!

I do the watermark so people dont steal my pictures for other use haha. No PS on the bokeh, I was using nikkor 24-70 f2.8

Nice. I think the same way. I just lowered my car on springs and my type s rims look 100x better. Mine are beat up though, deciding to paint them a darker gray (anthracite) or black.

How dark is your windshield tint?
