Default Random Photoshoot - First pics of my car by itself in over a year.

After about 5 hours of studying and doing hw...at 1:30am...I decided to roll out on the town and relax, brought the camera of course. So I hit up a few random spots and snapped a few pics.

Let me know what you think. I tried adjusting the white balance as best I could.

Still working on my technique and camera settings. Just now really starting to unlock the capabilities of this camera. (I did however remember Josh's comment on placement of the car and wheels and what not...)

Great looking car. Lower it. Ceta. Lose the molding.

Seriously, though, those are some print worthy pictures.

looks great and excellent shots.

2KWS6TA - Looks to me like the molding is gone and it's been lowered a bit. The rear might need to come down a bit more but I like how it sits.

Also, has anyone tried to do a CETA on a formula...I don't think it would work since it doesn't have the clean cut outline of a TA rear bumper.

On that note, ..., on the car & photos, ..., Looks good.

I appreciate the comments guys.

As for lowering, I get complaints honestly that my car is too low, I guess you just can't see it from the pictures. Being a V6 I don't have a ORY or LTs but I only have 3" of ground clearnance...and the SLP 3-points DEFINATELY hang low as heck!

And actually I DO have the "mini" CETA mod done. If you look at pictures 2, 5, 6, 7 and 8 you'll see that I have the section around the license plate painted.

The only things left that I want to do to the outside is a TA hatch, either that or a IROC spoiler on a TA hatch, and then of course a Ram Air hood. I've been thinking about changing the wheels but we'll see.

and as far as the motor goes, nah it's not ready to go in yet, but I do have all the parts! I'm getting more and more anxious. I can't wait to finally go fast...lol

Nice pics! What camera you using, and what shutter, ISO, and aperture you using? I'm guessing a little different each pic but I'm just looking for an idea. Full manual mode I'm guessing?

Looks great man! I am glad I got to see your car at F Body beach week.

I do believe that he was simply joking on the comments of lower it, CETA, and remove the molding as that is the comments EVERYONE always gets about their cars, plus he said seriously though after the first line.....

nice pics but gotta watch having things "growing" out of your car, pics 1 and 7 have light poles that look like they grow out of the car. Just trying to help a bit, other than that nice pics man.

Now noticing it.. I'm inspired to do the mini ceta mod but my car is emerald green or whatever so I'm not thinking it would look too good.
