Default some SOM whoring....

my '01 SS....i took a ton of pictures, but discovered the lens had a smudge on it or something so most of the pictures ended up being crappy .

hopefully i can tweak some of them a little bit...notice the "attention" i gathered in the first pic....?

lol, he scared the sh*t outta me. i had JUST parked in that alley (not blocking any traffic), snapped about 4-5 shots and he came around the corner at like mach 9 with his lights on.

he stopped about 15-20 feet behind my car, saw what i was doing, and then drove down to that bridge and parked. i was so pissed....that bridge was the whole reason i was in that alley to begin with. he never moved, looked at me, talked to me, or anything.

BTW, i have illegal tint, no cats, no liscense plate front OR rear (bought the car almost 4 weeks ago), no temp tags....lol good thing he ignored me....

good deal, i hate my exhaust though...i'm going to a H-pipe with single chamber flowmasters pretty soon. the Borla sounds "ok" at idle and at 6500 rpm's, but i don't like it ANYWHERE in between.

I like the masonry wall theme you've got going. See if you can get a photo op with the two fan wall blowers and the red painted masonry walls; It would make an awesome snap if handled right.

Nice looking SOM as well.

Car looks good man. I really like what you've done with the front grill.

I know what you're talking about with the unwanted audiance. It seems everytime you get a good photo op someone always stops and stares and usually get in the way.

thanks a lot guys, glad you all like my car. i took the pics with my mom's 7.1 MP cannon powershot SD550, nothing too special. i'm definately still an amateur, but i like the way the shots turned out.

i had some pretty good ones in my head, but as stated above, the cop ruined it for me...

good pics just need some tire shine
yeah yeah, i forgot ...sue me...lol

i was pretty pleased with the results even though it wasn't my intended background. i'm glad those bushes/weeds were there though, that green helps out a lot.

thanks, it's a carbon-fiber logoless RKSport grill....i like it. i've been wanting to put on a carbon fiber hood, paint it, but leave the scoop unpainted and clear it over....i think it'd look badass, but they're WAY too expensive for me right now. especially for an appearence mod, plus i can't find any good OEM style CF hoods that accept factory latches and whatnot....the best looking ones require hood pins and I just don't want that.

i can't believe the attention this car gets. i mean, it's not like a ferrari or anything, but rarely do i pass a car without seeing someone stare or point or something. it's great......except the cops do it too....
