last minute shoot (car isn't even washed)

i asked a friend if he wanted to come with me on a real quick drive and he can practice taking pictures of my car if he wanted. so we went to chantry flats to do a little practice shoot. this is his second time taking pictures of a car but i think they'll come out great. he only gave me one picture thus far, a little teaser, but i think it looks awesome. will post the rest when he gives them to me!






front bumper has a crack on the driver side if you can't tell. that's why the air dam is like hanging off. drilled a hole in both bumper and air damn and stuck a zip tie through them to hold it together hahah. will hopefully be getting a new bumper soon.

more edited version of the third picture:

Hit a debris on the freeway and cracked my bumper, relocated the front plates to hide the damage.

haha very clever. except my crack is in my bumper. can't really cover that up. and the lip was falling off. broke the brackets that hold it to the bumper x.x i figured that would be my junk bumper from now on anyways, so it's all good.

3rd pic would be perfect if you remove the poles sticking out from behind the car.

thanks for all the positive feedback guys! and as for the poles, i personally kinda liked them. it gave it more of a *blank* look. can't put my thumb on the word i'm looking for though hahah. but i bet the sunset would've looked sickkk without those poles. next time for sure.
