Remove the stickers off the side of the car. Make a car show poster with all the stickers on it if you wanna show people whats done to the car. Somtething that wont be on the car all the time.

Don't forget the 'hyper yellow' fog lights!

Nice pics OP. If you like the stickers, leave 'em. But in my opinion it would look cleaner without them.

As for learning photography, you should learn some post-processing as well! Like photoshop and stuff.. you'd be surprised how much photoshop can improve a picture. Nice shots though!

Just to show what I meant by post-processing.. you can come from this:




To something crazy like this! (even though I messed up a few spots)

lol yeah I know I need to learn post processing.... I have read through on here about what people have done to their pictures (i.e. messing with saturation and such) but I really am unfamiliar with photoshop or GIMP but am looking to learn! I need to take a class or something...

as for the stickers I feel they are tasteful because it's not like I have everything I have done on the side just big improvements, they are laid straight plus it sets me aside from other firebirds around town!

In photoshop, levels are your friend. (CTRL+L) it's an easy way to bring out a real nice pic.

Exactly what you said, I think usually decals are like your brembo decal, cutout letters. Stickers are just one piece.
