Im sure his TL is faster from a dig. idk if his bro is boosted, if his bro is boosted the sDUCE will kill the TL from a dig and a roll.

Thanks for the comments fellas!..

It looks like the quality of the photos got a little distorted when I went and resized them after I messed with them... Here is a second batch that looks better i think..

Appreciate it brother!


...let's see here...

1) Tripod is number one priority

2) Lighting is key. The white flourescent street lights always make for a better effect. The orange hued lights are almost always a FAIL, so stay away from those. Park the car according to the way you want the light beam to shine on the car.

3) Put the camera on the manual setting, and adjust how long the shutter stays open. Always try and take a few of the same shot with different settings.

4) Stobes help, but are expensive. Most professional utilize them.

Great shots. I personally think the Greddy single exhaust looks sick on your car though, moreso than exhaustless.

Also, swap the blower over yet?

Whats up with the s2k's rear end....looks like its missing diffusers or something. Though its interesting to see the entire rear suspension through the bumper. The s2k looks like a little demon child. The TL is sick btw.

It's for an evo8, and i predicted it will fit inside the TL. I had to extract the sunroof motor to allow room.

You talking about formula red? My buddy Adam in FL is building a spoon one and hes going to keep it red.

I think just about any color of wheels would fit on his car...gold, bronze, black, silver, mag blue, takata green. Maybe he'll become a wheel whore and try them all on.

Thanks bro! I love looking at the rear end of the spoon kit on the road. You can see everything underneath the car.

No, i haven't swapped it yet. I've been focusing on getting a feel for the car first. It's a different animal!

I saw your car at the summer meet so last weekend I was hoping you might show up for the fall meet but I know its not as big so I didn't get my hopes up. You should have seen some of the cars out there though.
