heater hose mod rear and hotchkis springs up front, no spacers needed. sportlines will lower you alot more than 1.5". that would be pro-kit. sportlines will lower you about 2.25"

the rims and stance are perfection. Did you only lower the front with the hotchkis springs? (rear is heater hose modded?)

Great shots, and the car looks great.
Try a polarizing lens on your camera, theyre like $20 and scew on the end of any Nikon lens... they make a huge difference on sunny days. Plus you can turn them to remove, or balance the reflections in the glass.

Looks awesome!

This, grab a polarizing filter for those sunny day shots. Also seem a tad bright to me. Next time try focusing on the car and changing the Fstop to a low number like 4.3 or 5.6 so that it focuses on the car and blurs the entire backround. Just another cool way to take some pictures.

BTW im just north of you and bought my first DSLR like two weeks ago. We should meet up for another photoshoot I have a bunch of friends with badass cars to join also.
