damn KJ....those are some sick shots...

 

Not a huge fan of silver but your car is money. Those pics also reassure me that dropping my type-s lip for base was a good call.

 

Awesome shots KJ!! I like them a lot!

 

In Fkn credible snow shots...wow.

 

Lovin the car man!! Think you did great on the mod choices. Added to the car and made it look more classy instead of more ricey! Nice work!!

 

Wow man great shots! Such a clean car. Were the switchbacks hard to install? I want to clear my headlights this summer and put in some switchbacks but I'm hesitant because of the load resistor install. I really want that completely white low beam, parking lights, and fogs look cause I think it looks amazing!

 

Wanted to quote this just to get the pics onto this page...

Thanks guys!

Yea, WDP is my favorite color, but this car made too much sense to pass up, and I still like it a lot! And the I like the clean look of the base lip, much more subtle.

I knew I couldn't pass up getting some shots after that snowfall, pretty happy with how they've turned out!

Thanks man! That's been the goal of the mods for me, glad you agree!

Thanks! And I agree, the white switchbacks really look nice. They are really no big deal, you just need to do the relay mod as seen here instead of load resistors:

Hardest part is probably pulling the relay from your car. This was my first time ever soldering anything, but it's been problem free.


OK, going to try going thru some of the other pictures I took now to see if there is anything else worth posting.

 

OK, messed around in LightRoom with a few more similar shots. That program is really something else! Lots to learn still about it.

This first one I wanted to get a good shot of the car in, but the road was a bit too busy to make it happen. I still like it, just wish I would have gotten right in the center of the road.

Buddy, I see a new Winter Avatar in your immediate future!

 

So damn purdy. I wish my car was clean so I could take some new pictures.

 

Not a bad idea Mr. Bell!

It doesn't seem to last long, but I sure do like when it is! Looking forward to more of your pics

 

those are some SICK pix KJ

 

Didn't really know we could do a portrait style avatar, i love it.

 

Thanks Anil! And J - just use MS Office Picture Manager to re-size the file to acceptable levels. Don't know any other way to do it...

 

Hmmm...well, I guess most of my shots are landscape so it defaults to it in the avatar...

 

Haha, that would do it. I think these are the first portrait shots I've done, just to get the trees in there.

 

Nice pics!

 

Great shots, KJ! Winter is looking great where you live.

 

Actually, I snagged those shots right in time. That snow had fallen in the last day or two, and then it was about 40 degrees with a good amount of rain about a day or two later, so a lot of the snow is already gone. Sure looked nice for a little bit tho!

 

That it did...gorgeous!

 

I wish I lived in an area with good scenery. Car is looking clean!

 

You know it's funny, now that I'm getting into the whole photography thing, wherever I'm going I tend to look for interesting things or spots to shoot. I find myself much more aware of my surroundings in a way, kinda cool to look at things from this point of view.

Although I will say that the current cold weather makes me just keep them in the back of my mind til summer...

 

Sick shoots!

 

I'm constantly looking for new spots when I'm driving around. I have my few spots I know will look good, but I'm always on the search for the perfect background.

 

Glad to hear it isn't just me, although I suspect many of us are guilty of this!

Should be able to find some interesting things to shoot at the Chicago Auto Show tonight! Heading there after work!

 

Awesome shots, KJ!

Your car looks awesome and your photography skills are getting better and better

 

Thanks Q!

There is certainly way more to this photography thing than I ever imagined. Fun hobby tho! Looking forward to the Chicago Auto Show coming up tonight, going to try to get some cool shots.

 

 

Wow, look at that shiny new Avatar!

 

Gotta like mixing up the avatars every now and then!

Back from the auto show, but no time to deal with pictures. I'll probably try to get them posted by this weekend. Some cool cars there, but not easy to take decent pictures with so many people walking and standing around them. We'll see how they turn out!

 

Shiiieettttt you think that was bad, imagine trying to take pictures at the SEMA show

 

I believe it...I thought going on a Wednesday night instead of the weekend would help. I'm sure it did too, I can only imagine what it will be like on Saturday or Sunday.

 

I was pushing bitches back

The weekends are even more nuts for auto shows. All those damn kids running around

 

Don't let Mitzi hear you say that, Tyler (about the kids).....

 

She knows how I feel

 

Finally got a buncha pics uploaded this morning. No editing, no Flickr, just good ol' direct upload of jpegs to photobucket. If I find the time to edit some RAW files with LightRoom, I'll go the Flickr route with those.

Anyway, here is a tease shot for Mr. Bell

 

^dawwwww

rotors are bigger than my wheels.

your TL looks great man. keep up the good work.

 

Wow those brakes are gigantic.



Black and orange looks sic doe.
