David Cho, a University of Michigan student and part time photographer for Tunerzine Magazine, took did a photo shoot with my car. It was a portfolio builder for him and has little chance of actually making it into a magaziine. Hey, I got some free sweet-ass pictures out of it! If you're in the Ann Arbor area and are interested in something similar, contact me and I'll put you in touch with David.

A cookie cutter tuner photographer, shocking. I like the 5th one down, but the rest look like every other tuner photo ever taken, not too say they're bad.Better than I can take, sure, but trite, at best.

It's cool you got them though, make some great desktops, im sure.

Looks nice. I like the 6th picture cuz it gotz some nice exhaust flow. :)

Nice photoshoot!

Those are some of the hottest photos I've seen in a while. Great job on David's behalf. Do you have these in larger sizes? I'd like to use them for a desktop if that is OK with you. :)

cool pics...im no photographer but they do seem very plain, the first pic is good because of the background, the flames are nice as well.

what you do to your car that you got flames coming out what looks like stock exhaust?

They look kick ass to me

not bad ...

The pics are technically great :)

cool

they look like pictures I take, let david know he needs more 'JDM Tilt' lol

Looking good. Interesting choice of location. Reminds me of the other fellow's pics where he took them in an abandoned warehouse.

i like the flames!

Where did you buy those lights to match the headlights?

autolumination.com
they're the 4-pod Hyper-White LEDs

I got my foglight bulbs from Hoen-usa.com.

I like the new shades of blues, rather than the nice Xenon low beams, orangeish parking lights, and yellowish foglights.

I'll post them when I get the full CD. This is all I've got at the moment. Believe me, I'd like the desktop sized ones, too! :)

Uh, thanks.

If not phoenominally talented, magazines need many, at least good, photographers around the country who can capture cars wherever they happen to be. Not all are willing or can afford to have a full-time photographer flown to every location for every shoot. David is obviously young, as I mentioned that he's in school and building his portfolio. If he's poducing "cookie cutter tuner" photographs right NOW, I can't wait to see what he's doing in 5 years!

B&B Midpipe. No catalytic converter will allow flames to be shot out a stock muffler :ylsuper:

damn - I do that all the time, and nobody wants to buy my pics. :( lol :D

nice
he does good work

The lighting in the first picture is pretty cool. It makes the car look like it has some kind of chrome finish.

I like 'em. Expecially the 1st & 5th. Expecially.

pictures are pretty cool, i grabbed a couple for my rolling screensaver!

off topic question...what width tires are those. they look wider than stock, and look pretty aggresive. nice.

nice pic..i like it..bt black colour nicer ...

Nice pictures. :)

ahhah thanks...then now i know my car throws flames too =)

Don't mind the negative comments. They are just jealous. :mdrmed:

There was some PERFECT lighting effects in some of those. They really showed off the variances in the color of the car depending on the angle of the light. I also really like the FLAMES!

This is the one

Yeah, that pic is my favorite too. Looks like it could be a Mazda press photo. Very professional looking. The rest are cool, but that's the portfolio shot there.

I really like the pictures too. But, what's with all the stickers on your ride?

:dunno:
I've track the car as much as I can. I don't really make an effort to get rid of the numbers after a DE (there are a ton of rubber marks that I haven't taken off that just didn't show up in the pics), and I've got my driver ID over my doors, for identification at the track. Call it cheezy, if you like, but I like it. Other than that, on the passenger side I have tiny 1x2" decals of the track map of each track I've run so far. On the driver's side, just an SCCA and Cannonball sticers on the rear window.

I'm surprised anyone noticed them, to be honest!
