Smile Silver and Gold?

As some of you know, my car recently had a little makeover. Didn't really have the opportunity to have a proper shoot and show her off until now.

Oh and sjo just so happens to have a new black roof, so we went out for some snaps. Silver wheels on gold, gold wheels on silver... anybody? No fancy strobes or rig shots this time. Just some clean simple pics.

sjo's car is very sleek and mine's one of the very few Desert Mist's on here, so i hope you folks enjoy these pics




























And of course, we gotta represent the 'zine

I like the theme in this thread!! Nice photography as well, some great looking shots in here.

Those BBS wheels set the car off really well!!

Wow those BBS's are FIRE! The Works look great too, but the front tires seem too bulky compared to the rear.

And I'm pretty sure I have never seen that color TL before... ever.

Both cars look amazing. I've never been a fan of DMM, but damn your car is changing my mind.

Great shots! You or somebody is nastyyyyyy with a camera.

Love the BBS wheels, nice choice. I think it's time for you to get a new roof too! Great photos as well, LOVE the pic in front of Dow's Noodles. Good Job!

Gold.......... You dont see many Gold TL's out there
I like this set of wheels better then your last, its alot more clean then the black with polished lips.

Only if you would go a tad bit lower then it would be sweet-er

Looks perfect...when I read that you were on springs I had to go back and look at the drop again because I thought it looked perfect! Great job!

The combo of Koni SP3 and Comptech springs handle suprisingly well too. Definately a considerable substitution to full coilovers if comlpete ride height / dampening adjusting range isn't of high priority (no slammage).

Thanks for all the kind replies folks. I shoot with a nikon D80, but like i always tell people, a camera is just a tool. What matter is how its used

Anybody in the GTA is welcome to join me and/or others for pics. As long as you're willing to travel

Oh and yes, black roof and black headlights are definitely on the to-do-list

If you were here so often before, I'm sure you won't mind coming back down here once in a while.

Those BBS rims are sick as hell. I love the way those flow with the car. VS-XX are badass too...but I personally wouldn't go with gold. Looks good regardless, nice pics.
