Lay some knowledge on me J. I'm all ears.
srs, I want to get into automotive photography. I feel that it's pretty lucrative to get into this business since people pay an insane amount of money for some amateur with a base model Canon Rebel and kit lens to take pics for them.

The only time I'm good at photography is when I sing a perfect replica of Nickelback's Photograph. I sing it thusly:
"HuhhhhhhhLOOKKATTHIS fuuhhhkkin pHhhhtfgrfff. Hhhevvehuhh ee huuuu hee huuu makes me heuuuhhhhhh"
"HuhhhhhhhLOOKKATTHIS fuuhhhkkin pHhhhtfgrfff. Hhhevvehuhh ee huuuu hee huuu makes me heuuuhhhhhh"

TBT. Sometimes you land a DOPE ass jump that goes into a 90 degree right hander at like 50mph. And all your friend in the passenger seat can worry about is how the wheel was about to hit him....and then later, he won't stop reminding you how "you're ALWAYS forgetting to tighten down ball joints", and "this isn't the first time....blah blah blah".
Sounded like someone over tightened HIS ball joint. Pfff.

Quick question guys.... Looking at the OEM style lip spoiler for the S for the time being (may or may not stick with it)....
Should I go:
OEM pro repainted LBP spoiler privately sold for $200 shipped
or
Ebay replica painted LBP (I see some at $85 and $108 sold be same seller so don't know the difference between them).
Part of me is kinda wanting to do CR lip and CR wing but I already have an EOM front lip that I need refinished before putting on the car.

Replica lips fit so badly. You're installing an item for looks that looks like it fits badly. Seems like a poor decision.
If you can buy a brand new lip that is painted and costs $108....think about what will happen the first time a pebble hits the lip.
If you're really looking to go replica, ask around for professional paint quotes. You may save $100-200 over just buying a properly painted, properly fitting OEM lip from a place like h-and-a or something
A brand new lip is like $375-425 shipped, IIRC.
If you're really on a budget, I'd consider the OEM repainted LBP. But...the paint may or may not adhere as well as OEM.

Thanks guys. I'll go the OEM route. Now just to decide on the repainted one or a brand new one.
As for my front lip spoiler is already LBP but was pretty scratched up from the guy I bought it from but only paid $150 so hoping the repaint goes well on it. I get so many rock chip on my TL that I'm thinking about having the new Autoflex spray on clear bra done on the front of the S2000. To bad it requires pro equipment otherwise I'd do it myself. I've already dipped 4 full cars. The S would be a breeze.
