Just took these tonight. Car is not clean (as a matter in fact it's incredibly filthy), but hey, I decided to go to the brand-spanking-new-not-even-commissioned Canada Line park and ride to test out the lighting!

ENJOY!











As always, Comments and Criticism MORE than welcome

 

Nice pictures! SSM ftw! What kind of camera are you using?

 

Nice pics, looooving that last shot!

 

Gorgeous pictures man

 

I'm just using a Canon XS with the kit lens... Saving up to get nicer ones

Thanks for the kind comments guys

 

Canon FTMFW! I have a Canon Rebel XTI myself with just a kit lens, and it takes amazing pictures. You can definitely sharpen your pictures more with Photoshop or some photo editing software. I use Lightroom 2 and Photoshop. Anyways keep up the great work, and keep those pictures coming!

 

Last shot = very creative.
Thanks for sharing.

 

are those stock HID bulbs? they look a little more blue.

 

Nicely staged shots. The last one is $$$$.

 

loving that last shot bro.. good work

 

Canon picture quality is the best IMO . I was too lazy to even process the RAWs so I just fixed the white balance and told photoshop to spit them back out in .jpg form. Maybe when I have a bit of time I'll do a bit of adjusting.

Thanks!

They are stock, but its the way I took the photos that makes them blue tinted like that. I set my camera to bulb mode, and hold the shutter for about 10 seconds, just before I close the shutter, I hit the unlock button on the key fob so the headlights come on and the HIDs ignite. I do this so the picture dosen't come out overexposed from the HIDs. Oh, and more blue is added because of the white balancing (the original pictures were very orange)

 

Nice shots.. now drop that puppy!

 

not allowed too
You have no idea how much debating I had to go through to get permission for a CAI...

 

Did you install the CAI yet?

 

Last shot is win.

 

Nice pictures man!

 

No, I haven't bought it yet, got too many midterms and assignments this week...
Probably gonna attemp to install it myself though.

 

Still stock after almost a year?

 

nice shots

 

lolz.. nice ghost shot

 

That last shot is extremely sexy

 

yup...

Thanks! everyone seems to like that shot... maybe I'll do some more of that "style" next time around

 

It's actually quite easy, I did it myself today along with a P2R TB spacer. And there's a great DIY on here that explains everything thoroughly. I'll get you that link.

Removing the front bumper is also on there, good luck!

 

Last picture is sick. Looks like the car is going back to the future

 

I looked at that video and thought it couldn't be THHHAATTT bad, with the only real things im scared about being the drilling part (to get the resonator out), and connecting all the tubs and stuff back...)

haha. I see what you did there

 

When it comes to putting everything back to stock, it's actually quite simple. Coming from experience. You're not really drilling anything except to break off some screws, if you don't want to drill, you can use needle nose pliers. It can be redone if and when you decide to reverse the process. Hope this gives you a bit more confidence.

 

Ssm ftw

 

yeah it does. My main concern actually was how hard it was to return to stock... guess that's answered now!

 

The whole front bumper does not need to be removed to install a CAI. This is a wase of time and I can't believe its actually suggested to do so. Just loosen and remove the side that you'll be installing the CAI on (Drivers side). Not only does it save on time but this makes it much easier for one person to do because you won't need somewhere there to help you put the bumper back on. Don't worry about there not being enough room to remove the stock intake system and install the new one, trust me there's plenty. This is what I did and it worked out fine, its an easy install, just do it!

BTW, nice cars!

 

^^^edit: cars to car^^^^

 

I'll try to keep that in mind... though I think I'm going to be better off taking the whole thing off - I don't like it when something is "half on", it gives me the feeling that its going snap off... especially the bumper, damn that thing is flexible!

 

Beautiful night shots!! I wish I knew how to shoot photos like that!

 

Trust me that won't happen unless you want it too.

I did the same exact thing when I installed my Type S tails; just removed one side at a time.

Anyways just thought I'd throw that in there to help you make the install go by quicker, but if your not comfortable with my technique then don't do it. Good luck and happy modding!
