My 04' WB - Charlotte

I'm fairly new to this site. I've had my 8 for a little over a year and a half. It's just a daily driver, so no major mods, just suspension and exhaust work.

I got bored tonight while watching the election and decided to take a few shots. I also figured it would be a good time to practice using photoshop for minor editing. This is my first time ever using photoshop, so any suggestions are welcome. I'm getting fairly use to it, but tutorials online only go so far. I'd like to learn how to do layers, since I struggle with them, but need to sit down with someone who can teach me hands on.

enjoy.

Very nice bro. Looks darker than most WBs, could just be the lighting. Just get some clear corners, and you're good to go. Are you dropped on s.techs btw?

Love yellow fogs!!

I know, I know. I need clear corners. It's dropped on H&R springs. I'll be purchasing Bilstein HD's here in the near future. Im trying not to dump a huge amount of money into it seeing as how it is my DD. I've got a Miata I've been track preping for the past few years. I would, however, like to go with either the PTP turbo kit or Pettit SC in the distant future.

Had tint on my first car and hated it. Can't see crap at night. If I were to get it done again I wouldn't go any darker than 20-25%

Love the soapy pic - I immediately picture several bikini wearing girls having water fights around the car. Where are those pics?

No, Mallard Creek Park in North Charlotte. I live behind it. First Pic is underneath Ashley Furniture by BWW in University Area, second is at work, third is in VA Beach, and last two are at the park.

Shoot me a PM and we should meet up some time for a few shots. I must have missed you at the last cltrx8club meeting this past Saturday. We had quite a drive after BWW's.

^Oh yeah I knew it looked familiar, used to have soccer games there. But yeah I havn't been to one of the charlotte meets in a while. I'm usually either working or AutoX'ing on the weekends so I never have time. I live in the south park area. There are a few spots uptown that would be a very nice place for a photoshoot.

I shoot uptown on a regular basis. I actually went to the CPCC deck and 5th/Carmel deck last night for some skyline shots.
