Snapped a few shots of my TL-S...suggestions on angles/composition?

I'm still an amateur photog, shooting with a Pentax K100D.







Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

Thanks Fulani. I didn't want to link the big ones in case anyone was still on dial-up....is anyone??

The sunlight was fading fast, so I snapped what I could with the last bit of light.

As for mods, I'm still on the fence. I'll probably keep the car as stock as possible, and spend my time fixing/modding the project cars.

More pics! Updated ones:

Just purchased a set of RJ Legends from bumski667. Had to throw 'em on the car right away:







She rides tall now. I'll have to remedy that soon...

Pics look good. Just watch out for that overexposed sky... kind of draws attention away from your sexy TL.

Now time to drop that 4x4
Car looks great without a drop seriously.
Good choice on rims too. I'm thinking
about the same one's.

Haha, 4x4. I just tell others that it's a TL Type S Pre-runner.

Thanks for the comments y'all.

Not sure about suspension right now. I like the height in the rear, but the front needs to be just a little bit lower. I don't mind the slight gap in the rear as much as the front. So the ASpec makes sense, but I can't make up my mind. Any progress on finding a bodykit?

Took off the 19" Legends and put on Legend GTs. Painted the red stripe to KBP, mounted some tires, and finally snapped some shots.

Yes, I know about the ride height - coilovers are coming soon.

Nice! A KBP stripe...that's a definitely subtle, but nice touch. Can't wait to see it dropped!

Nice, you should get some blue (KBP preferred) lugs to set off the stripe...

I'm thinking black lugs to blend in with the wheel, so as to not take notice away from the blue (which is already kind of hard to see). Blue lugs seems a bit rice, but black would definitely be nice.

You can photo shop the lugs blue to see if it'll look too ricey or not. Only thing I think you need is the drop and some tire shine, and it'll look very aggressive.

marmalade-I like KBP stripe on the RonJons too. It's always a win with RonJon rims. I'd suggest the blue lugs. It will REALLY set your Type S off!....definitely HOT. It will set off the stripe on the rims too!

Thanks for all the feedback.

I tried photoshopping the nuts blue and it looks good. I may change out for blue nuts soon. Until then, coilovers remain at the top of the list.

A little bit better sunshine today, so I snapped a few more. Here's my favorite, but you can see the ugly dent (below the gas door) that someone left for me.
