Edited like a mofo...didn't have time to mess too much with my settings since I was working. It was BRIGHT...backrounds were either washed out in brightness or the car was too dark. Oh well...

Thank you fellas, I wish I woulda had a bit more time to get the settings right. I DID try "Program mode" but it kept confusing me with how everything kept jumping around.

I swapped back to manual and finally got a few decent ones, but MAN, full sun is hard to figure out.

John, wow, thanks brother, I appreciate it. New avatar, coming up.

nice pics, J.

i actually like #3 the best, the scenery and buildings in the background let you focus in on the car.

Thanks Aaron, yeah...honestly, that was the one that caught my eye as I was walking back from one of my stops I REALLY liked how the car looked in the light. So I went to get the camera and walked back for the same angle.

I love #3 as well. I look at the car and then read the sign and such; there's a lot to the picture. I hate how that sign is knocked over infront of the car though. Don't worry, just my OCD tendencies kicking in

so you guys all love that picture cause there's a lot of stuff to look at instead of my car...


LOL. Thanks Tyler, I noticed that afterward too, I could have put it back up for the shot at least.

Love the new pics J! All the pics are great, but I like #2 the best, it really captures a little aspect of every part of the car. All black sure is a pain in the ass to capture when it's sunny out, but you did a fantastic job brother!

Thanks Chip! I very much appreciate!!!
MEKO...you snuck in there, thanks man. I am not a big fan of this batch, but little by little it is growing on me. I dig 1 cause it accentuates the rear end the red in the tails, the plate, the exhaust...

Anyway, love when you guys stop in my thread. It's gotten a little slow in here lately...I guess a side effect of keeping it ON TOPIC!

Thank you MEKO and Dizz...Yeah, LED DRL's...I think I'd like how Amber looked, but then the corners would have to be amber and then my sidemarkers would have to be amber too!

Thanks for stopping in boys...
Honestly, other than mount balance, and alignment, all my mods are done by me. Trial and error I says...

Impromptu hangout...
with my boy, Ryan...aka HEATSEEKER on AZ. We'd lost touch for a bit while he sorted some personal issues but we ran into each other on the highway and hung for a couple hours...great to see him...

in addition to my neighbor's friend with a 335...added Vossen's...looks awesome!

Nice pics J. I guess I'll be the first to suggest your friend to get some spacers in the rear and clean them tips. I would like to see some more pics of the 335 too.

The Machine, first thing I would suggest is turn the Acura emblem

If Ryan plays black on that color, would be so beautiful
Has black on rims, yes need spacers
Has black on tails
Tint too

Black headlights, black grill, Type-S side marker, debagde, plastidip the "V"
A-Spec..done sexy as hell
