HOTT ... love the rain pictures ... is that just a light you put behind to create that effect or did you park another car behind you ?

looks good. you should really smoke your tails to complete the look.

BTW, how is the light output on those 9000K's in rain/fog?

JPTL-S - Thanks man, I did a little photoshoot with a professional photographer. His camera was really nice, it's like $2,000+ just for the camera, haha! Just those last 4 were taken with his camera ... I took those brighter pics with my personal lil camera.

fan_bo - Thanks. There's actually 2 huge lights that we have set up perfectly for the shoot. Then we had little lights postioned underneath, around, and in the car to flash when he pulled the trigger on the camera. It was perfectly dry outside ... we just sprayed my beautifully clean car down with the hose ... that's the first time I did away with a perfect wax job, haha.

VoLLy_1llusioNz - Thanks

ding069 - Thanks, haha. Everyone tells me to smoke the tails, maybe I'll try it, but I really like the ruby red tails. I'm planning on see'in what the Type S tails look like too ... maybe I'll buy those and then tint them, haha. The 9000's are fine ... I recommend them ... there's not a huge difference from people might think from switching from the regular stock bulbs to these ... it's just these look really purple when your looking at them .. but when driving they don't look different on the road itself.

CL Platano - Thanks. Yeah, well I guess the Ghost them could go a different way because I'm all blacked out and you can't see me for the most part behind the tint, etc. I'm goin to switch it to 5% on the sides I think. But the Ghost thing is from my nick-name. People gave me that nick-name when I use to have my 1st gen white TL with 5% tint and 35% on the windshield. So yeah ...

ComptechTL - Thanks.

Thanks. It's pretty much done for this year. I don't plan on doing anything to it till next Spring. I'm saving up a lot of money for some new DJ equipment that's going to be as much (if not more) than the Comptech Supercharger would cost, haha. Cya at the meet man.

I love those rims and those last shots are awesome. Those LED turn signals, do they blink faster than normal or do they blink at the same speed as the stock ones do? I saw some LED turn signals on a EVO and they were blinking like 100 times a sec, I dont really like that to much

JJaber06 - Okay, sounds good.

Acuracy - Thanks man. The 8500 is okay ... I don't have any complaints about that ... but I would def. go with the BlitzSafe adapter for sound because mine is crappy and I got mine from tweeter. I'm pretty sure you could get just a regular dvd player for prolly just like $200 and it could be a better brand name, ya know?

sunnyflava99,encrypted03,K-Shawn thanks.

ACCURATEin - Thanks man, I'm really looking forward to see'in your car too! I really want to check out your seats, etc. etc. .. I want Sparco seats, but they are sooo damn expensive, haha. I love the ones in my friends Evo 8 ... the black leather ones.

shayan - Thanks man, I like the rims also. The led does blink fast, but I like it better that way because when I'm flying down the road it gives more warning to people that I'm switching lanes ... instead of just 1 slow blink like the stock bulbs produce.

Look for LED Load resistors. Mine blink normally.

Thanks. No, I dont' want rockblockers in the back .. it's too dark in the back then. I wanna do 5% tint on the sides and then tint the windshield too ... it'll be hard enough to drive around and not get pulled over for that ... I dont need to give them 1 more reason with tinted tails, haha.

5% on the sides, I guess you like being in the dark, lol. Thats some serious tint right there. IMO all the tint looks darker when the windshield is tinted, 35% all around looks like ~25%.

Yeah, I hate being stared at. I think it's pretty disrespectful. I mean it's nice to look at someone's car and be like "nice car man." But for someone to just try and mug you threw the windows, etc. ... I dont like that. Maybe I should stay away from the bad parts of DC ? When you have tint that dark ... people will not stare in the windows and will just stare at the car .. which is fine with me. I know I've done a ton of things to my car that attract attention ... but I don't like the negative attention I get sometimes.

Thanks. Actually I don't know what you mean, haha? Do you mean a hot girlfriend? If so, I already have shots with her on the car too, but we'll see about posting any of those, haha. But I will have a hot photoshoot with another girl too at the beginning of October (if things go as planned!).
