I do also. A LOT! It just POPS when the hood is done. And that is exactly why I did it. Although, the engine bay looks amazing and clean, it was just too dark with Black and grey color and that Battery + boot standing out everytime I open the hood, I decided to go with it.

it's not adding color I'm against...it's just the red. But that's my own thing...I had red painted calipers on my accord and you see them on a lot of other cars and usually not very well done and I guess the color just turns me off. Nothing personal, obviously...if you're going to rattle can it, you did a gangbangup job!

Actually, pink is my actual favorite color.
And yes, I like it a lot more than red.

You and Anil should get a room and play twister. It's all primary colored dots!

Steven, behave.

Josh...looking good, man. You'll probably kill me for saying this but man do they look like the XXR 530's you had on the TL?!! Probably what drew you to them! Looks great though.

They do. I agree. Maybe its the whole dark chrome look on black theme I like. I would have to say, these are popular among the Mustang community as XXR are to Honda/Acura. The SVE and AMERICAN MUSCLE wheels are very popular and affordable wheels for Mustangs. I just wish they were a shade darker like XXR. They look amazing in person and the stance/fitment is on point! Just wish they had less Chrome and more Black finish to em. They are a break from the "Mudered" theme tho. Almost has a OEM performance look to em. And I bet they are going to look even better once all 4 are on with the staggered tires. But either way, I do like em a lot! Can't wait to install the fronts today.

I like that they aren't too dark. I'm so over the black on black.
holy Christ am I opinionated, huh?

I dig them though...I already told you, if I get a 5.0...I'm doing Weld wheels 12" in the back and skinny fronts...chrome on sterling.

The Weld RTS's Chrome with Black centers on the stars are the BADDEST Fat Skinny set up IMO. But MAN!!! They are pricey! They look good on anything! If u are on INSTAGRAM, there is a friend of mine named Marshall who has a built (matte black) CTSV sitting on em and squattin on bags. Don't pay attention to his workout selfies...Just his car lmao!

If you wanna see some BAD ASS wheels specifically for Mustang specs/fitment/stance check out TRUE FORGED. My gawd they are sex! And they make a 12in rear tucked inside a white GT perfectly to the fender with NO POKE what so ever. Looks like a minor/Mini tub they are so wide.

COST: $3000-5000ish

haha nice....

dont get me wrong they are great pix, the S4 does a fantastic job for being a phone....but after seeing your shooting capability and picture quality with a Canon (when you had the TL), this is not filling my appetite


Also, I used to do some light edits on FLICKR, but now with Lightroom5, the difference is between taking a point and shoot and DSLR. The options and stuff LR5 gives, just slight edit on contrast/exposure/lens correction, makes the pic look awesome


I saw myself go through that....was happy taking pix with the phone, then a point and shoot, then point and shoot and flick, then a DSLR and flickr, now a DSLR and LR5....the old pix look like (and most probably were)

I currently use the editing on my PC I purchased from DELL, which is what I posted a page or so back taken with the Canon. But you are saying LR5 is the bomb for editing? Is that a sight or downloaded program. Adam/PREDATORBIRD uses the Canon program that came with the T3i, I just have not downloaded it to the NEW computer as of yet...I am truly slacking on all sorts of levels

yeah LR is awesome....

I know Jeremy uses LR4 and his pics come out outstanding....am still learning LR5, but I dont want to learn anymore since I dont want to over do it LOL...

I used to use the Nikon software (ViewNX) but thats a POS....cant rotate images, cropping is an issue, cant add watermark automatically (have to go in there and manually insert the watermark)...so just couple of those reasons made me download the LR5...
