They look great! You've got a knack with the photography and post processing.

The 4th is my favorite.

thanks man but i dont plan on any major mods soon. getting rid of the Evo MR for this was kind of part of my plan to stop the modding. as head of an Evo club i took a big hit for getting rid of my ride, so for penance, im trying to limit the mods to very minor cosmetic changes, notably:

Silverstar fogs
Sun Auto Hyper Voltage system
PIAA super white interior lights and license plate lights
LED door lights

other than those I plan to keep it stock since the other half of my reason for getting this car was for work purposes. its hard being dressed everyday in a suit and tie and driving a modded Evo so i did the math

The pictures look great! We need to meet up sometime for a photo shoot. (I am aware of the one that is happening this weekend.)

i did the same processing as pic 1. it was mainly boosting the saturation and contrast. then i converted the pic to black and white, saved it as a different file, reopened the original pic, then cut-and-pasted the TL on the b/w pic. same is true with the sepia
