Looks fantastic man. Extremely clean.
Always liked the shaved emblem too, looks more unique and aggressive in my opinion.

Car looks KILLER man. A subtle, sophisticated look that really works. Too many people get to that point and theeeeeeen..... fail to stop and fall squarely into the "boy racer/rice boy" realm. You did just enough.

Regards.

PS - But, uhhhh, about that tint......
LMAO

I mean, they're nice, I bought my 16 year old one for his birthday, but let's be real. If you have nothing of value to contribute there sport, go away. Kthanxbye.

Thanks man, I am actually having a hard time pulling off the factory front with the shaved emblem and AP lip because I love it so much.

Those are looking great! I definitely like that look!

Of course... I did like those GT-F's a bit more. Maybe I'm biased? :P:

Though I think this choice probably compliments the direct you're going pretty well. I think the GT-F's could have made things a bit over the top.

The great thing is that you don't have to worry about being all show and no go!

Camera set up was very simple. A cannon XTi with a very nice old prime 35mm, wide angle lense. For those in the know... supreme cheapness! about 3/4 of my pics are crap. Still working on my pics and having a very hard time with odd light.

Thanks! I love that 35mm prime lens. It has produced some great results for me. I did not even get a chance to clean the pics up in lightroom before handing them over to 9krpmrx8.

Next time you're coming down Corpus way, let me know. We can get together for a couple of adult beverages and terrorize the town. I like to take the GT500 out and make Prius drivers cry.
