Quick shot of my 'daily' TL-S
I'm finally happy with how the car sits, so I figured I'd go and take a few quick shots.
I'm rusty behind a camera, the only one that I edited was the black and white one, and all I did was make it black and white.
anyone good with photoshop care to process them a bit?
let me know what everybody thinks- good and bad comments welcome

so i have to either find one used, or buy one new and have it painted. i'd rather have an 07-08 base front lip anyway, so maybe i can piece something together.thanks for the comments guys!

i'd love to get an aspec kit- was just about to pull the trigger until i found out they were recently discontinued in my color so i have to either find one used, or buy one new and have it painted. i'd rather have an 07-08 base front lip anyway, so maybe i can piece something together.

And I commend you on the condition of your paint. Many people worry about modding their car but completely forget about the paint (which is one of the most important things). It sucks to see people with beautifully modded cars and when you see their paint in the sun, it's all swirled up and nasty. But I can see you have great upkeep with your paint. Good job.

believe it or not, i've yet to detail the car since i've owned it. it went through winter with just a coat of wax. the car is actually covered in clearcoat overspray from when I bought it. a good friend of mine runs a detail business, and he's very meticulous. he'll be handling the task of making the car look like glass this weekend.
ps, it's got 96k on it too!

After that detail it's going to be even more

Those wheels are amazing. I love everything about the car except the headlights...are they 10,000k? Hopefully it was just your camera's white balance making them look that shade of ricer blue. :o

fogs are stock bulbs, the lenses are smoked laminex film over them. really looks cool with the fogs off, they're 'ghost' looking.
thanks for all the kind words everybody!

Nothing much to process, but I may give it a shot.
Awesome ride!
