I'd be interested, though I warn you mine's an '09, which some (not including myself) consider to have the fugly nose.

Timing is the issue. The 16th is likely going to be a busy day for me, so I'm not convinced I could make that work, though I'd certainly try.

Oh...and I should have mentioned earlier...it's "Sean". I meant to respond to an earlier post from Vince about my name, but seem to have let it slide.

 

Happy belated Birthday!

How about a little bit later in the day? Some of the best shots come from sunrise/sunset lighting.

He has a name!

I may be considered one of those "some" that thinks the 4G's have a fugly nose The design of the 4G hasn't grown on me but it's still a TL! Regardless though, you're more than welcome to join. The more the better.

 

That's why they changed it for 2012, I suppose. As I say, I like the nose, though I don't dislike the updated one, either.

 

Happy belated birthday Myron haha.

And if the photoshoot on sunday, I'd prefer earlier because I have dinner plans..

 

Yeah if Im back in town by the evening.

 

whats "earlier" guys? lets decide on a time and place! anytime works for me on sunday!

 

Happy belated birthday Myron, :P.


So how would you guys feel at hawlak park in the morning or around 2 or 3 pm.

 

any place and any time works for me.

 

too bad I won't have my new spoiler/lip kit on before the shoot..

 

Lol it seems like any time works for a lot of us, but what about the photographer? Again, some of the better shots will come from sunrise/sunset lighting imo. Especially since a lot of you guys have white cars, there won't be great contrast with the blinding light at two or three o'clock in the afternoon.

On a side note, recently changed out my third and fourth gear pressure sensors. I had my doubts but it did improve my shifts quite a bit. They were starting to get very rough especially when I was doing spirited driving but after the change it is certainly a noticeable difference. I'll probably do a 1x3 ATF drain and fill next spring since I already did a 3x3 not too long ago.

 

so we doing a sun rise, sun set or any time shoot? lol...lets agree on something guys! the forecast shows no rain but its gonna be a cold one! lol

 

How is everyone ok with around 7 am or maybe around 9 at night. Im sure that should be ok with everyone, but sunrise i think looks awsome but so does sunrise.

Do we have a definite answer from the photographer?

 

Who was bringing the photographer again? Lol again any time works for me on Sunday.

 

Silence said he's bringing the photographer but he hasn't chimed in for a while. It seems more dependent on what time they can make it now since we seem to have a lot of flexibility.

 

my TL be trolling hard

 

I know that feel bro.

 

ok seriously is this shoot happening or not? i got other things i could be doing other then trying to arrange this shoot and people changing their minds every couple days or not updating the list. so last call or i am out on the shoot cause i cant plan my day couple hours before! i got stuff to do!

 

I hear you. I'd be a definite "in", only it seems a time hasn't been settled upon. Vince (I think it was Vince) made the very good point that there seems to be a lot of flexibility, and the first stop should be the photographer. Not sure who has contact with the photog, but I agree that the first questions should be to him or her, and they should be 1. when are you available, and 2. what's the best time, lighting wise.

Once that's settled, you would hopefully have maybe two time slots that you could throw out, and confirm the one that suits most people.

Least, that's how I'd do it. And I'm one of the smartest guys I know.

haha love that line!! but i just didnt wanna run everything and was hoping that if people want the shoot bad enough they will put some effort into it. I am always on go. oh well!! fail i guess haha i give up on taking leads!!

 

Sorry guys, been super busy lately and sick this last week. Zach will shoot for us tomorrow. If it doesn't work out, we can always shoot on another sunday. Later in the afternoon always works best I find (so 4:00?) in terms of lighting and such. Let me know how many we got, last count was 6 or 7(?) so I can get a price from Zach. As for location, I like the meet at Hawrelak park idea, as we can fan out from there to some cool locations.

 

Hey im putting effort, least im pretty sure i am hahaha. So i assume it will be tomorrow at 4 in hawlak park then?

GOOD, DONE DEAL!!!!! right?

 

See you guys tomorrow at 4pm in hawrelak park, first parking lot on the right so no one gets lost!!!

 

That sounds great! Once again, sorry for the last minute details lol.

 

and guys please dont be late!!! 4PM!!!

 

I'm going to do my best to be there. Looking forward to meeting some of you guys.

 

Nice I thought this thing was dead. I shall wash my car before I come

 

Awesome, I shall be there tomorrow! Just did a minor detail hopefully its good enough haha..

 

See you guys tomorrow!

 

Gonna be little cold to wash our cars tomorrow, but needs to be done cause we love our cars to much! Lol

 

First parking on the right!!!

 

I might be there a little early so dont mind me haha.

 

Here are some pictures of the last 2 details of the season that my buddy and I did a few weeks ago.

First up was a phantom black rs4. The paint was hacked and being an Audi, it had some rock hard clear coat that took an extensive amount of compounding to look right.

Next up was a relatively new crystal black silica brz. Improper wash procedures were done resulting in swirling throughout the paint.

Passenger door after



Deep gouges suffered from a trailer parking too close



Wet-sanded

Black cars are a bit tricky to get looking perfect but once done right, they have the potential of looking like one of the best.

@Vincent - Wanna detail my car too? :p You did a wicked job on both those cars. Are they yours?

I saw Arthur at nait today

 

Any idea how long this photoshoot will take? haha

 

hoping we would be done by 6! only time will!

 

Really good meet guys, maybe we should have another one before snow hits the ground. Just so we can hang an chill or somethin.

I would like some help painting my grill, since i have never done this before. I got the paint but dont know if i got the right one. Thanks in advance.

 

Um not sure how to say this but i would like to appologize about the comment i made a bout rice. So if that offended anyone, im sorry. It was eatin me alive so had to say it, again good meet.

 

my car alarm just went off and i went outside and someone keyed the whole driver side of my car.... fucking people...
it doesnt look too deep, im not sure maybe vince can work his magic or if i need a whole new paint job...

 

It was nice finally getting to meet a lot of you guys. I'm sure glad we didn't try to meet in the morning; the Terry Fox run would have made it really tough to even get in the park, let alone find each other.

 

That really sucks dude. Rule of thumb from my understanding is, if you can feel the scratch with your finger nail, its too deep to be buffed out.
