Very clean! I washed my WDP today as well

What camera body/lens were you using for these shots?

Nice pics!!! One thing I really like about your Type S is that it appears to have the darker shade of OEM wheels. I think that really improves the look of the Type S. For those not familiar with what im talking about, I think they said there were two manufacturers for Type S wheels. One manufacturer are darker the other lighter.

For example, the best way to tell if you have the dark or light Type S wheels is if the actual wheel color is lighter or darker than the OEM center caps. The OP's wheels appear darker than the center caps, where as this KBP type S has very light ones and the caps look darker than the wheels. Type S looks soooo much better with darker wheels ;-)

I think his pictures were enhanced just a tad giving that darker look on the wheels.

Thanks! These were shot with my Canon 7D and 70-200mm f/2.8L lens.

Yes the pictures were enhanced, but I had all the rims repaired due to some curb rash when I purchased the cars. So I had my buddy at his body shop then re-shoot the wheels and I asked him to make the gun metal slightly darker than stock

Yep, see above

I couldn't get that off with just a wash. I'm going to have to run across that with the claybar. I'll swinging by the store to pick up a fresh claybar kit tomorrow.

Yes it's driving me nuts

Purtyyyy.

I think the TL has the perfect front profile. The smooth curves and angles of those lights and bumper from the side is just so freakin' sexy.
(In referring to Picture #2)
