i like your thinking, with rolling on 17s you'll definitely be able to achieve a lower height! but man you're pretty low sitting on them 19s! that means if you were to grab the 17s you'll be about 2 inches lower? that would be crazy man! dooo eeettt!!

Haha...well my pics aren't like everybody else's pics.

My camera sucks.

That's one of the best that came out.

Still working on them but I think I got a little sick from staying out sooo late taking pics this morning.

ahh, actually the wheels are 18s. the full-face design has also fooled others into thinking they were 19s

I'm trying to fix these pics but most of them from the garage didn't come out.

Too blurry to correct.

Piece of shit shitty azz camera shit.

When I get a job...this camera is retired.

It's crampin' my style.

Pisses me off because these spots were sick and they looked so much better in person.

The shot in the tunnel...that's leading from Union Square to China Town...that was sketch.

Had to have the camera on timer...then cars started coming...

Yeah we got to go really late to avoid traffic issues.

When I was about 5 miles away from home...I just said WTH...why not.

Glad I went down there despite the shitty quality.

Haha...thanks.

Now I'm trying to figure out how to make the quality better.

Garbage quality in = garbage quality out.

Cause of death: taking pics of CL.

when i entered the garage then turned around to 'relieve' myself, some piping scraped for me too.. such a terrible sound when it grinds like that, especially when the concrete/pavement comes to an apex. when i left for the night i managed to not scrape by exiting slowly through the left, entrance side

funny, it came up later in the night during some conversation.. i painted it myself. not a perfect match, but it definitely accomplishes my goal. you just need to be sure you rid the piece of all the chrome before painting

Not much was done on photoshop.

Just a little auto this and auto that.

I don't know how to make those pics better than they originally are.

I should take a Photoshop class.

That would help me.

i couldnt angle it much on the way out because there was a curb on the right so i practically took it straight. i should have just floored it up the ramp to clear the apex, lol that wouldnt have given my suspension enough time to settle down and scrape

Of course they have classes for it...

Photoshop is pretty much the industry standard for graphic design.
