Default 22 May: 6am photo shoot

Here are a few shots...gotta wait till I get home to get the good ones uploaded.








Gimme some input on the shots. These are raw images shot with a d5000 through a 50mm lens and 18-55mm lens.

Maybe it's the size.. but they look blurry? Car looks nice though. Not sure how I feel about the turn signal color choice.

Yes it is an oil cooler I just zip tied in for the time being. Thanks.


Also I tried to do some flash fill but my built in flash didn't have enough to do anything productive. Just thought I'd throw that out there because if I was looking at these pics that's the first thing I would recommend...and a graduated neutral density filter

Yeah, only for the photoshoot. Sucks to drive so when I get home I will be finishing adjusting the suspension (ie putting it to a useful/drivable height). I dragged my butterfly brace on the road over where the car died when we first took it out. I also got pulled over for the exhaust being too loud :(

Here is before I got everything put back in:



Here is after it was running:



I figured that is what those were for, up next is some proper ducting.

Not sure if I like the bumper or not, but the car looks great.

Undecided on the bumper but it doesn't really look bad. What is it?

car looks clean on the outside, why not clean up the engine bay?

That's next...gotta get her running well first. I also need to dial the suspension in again and rhino line the interior.

I have been thinking if something takes my bumper out I will get a stock bumper and chop it up. The flare crap on the bottom of my bumper doesn't go with the rest of the car. Seemed like a good idea in my 24/25 yr old mind...not as good in my 28 yr old mind.
