Night Pics of My Blue 8

Here are some pics I took recently after waxing my car with the new turbo wax product that I purchased from Fiber-Works. As you can see in the pictures, the car came out great .












Nice empty parking garage :D

Hm, a few of those pics look like they came from a video game. Nice shots though, but that overhead 3/4 shot is driving me nuts (last pic, first set). Something doesn't look right but I can't figure it out for the life of me. Keep up the good work!

15% all the way around?

Good choice. I have 13% all the way around on my 626 and I'm planning on doing the same as soon as my RX8 arrives.

Tint guy was trying to convince me to do 6% on the back, and 13% up front...tempting...

Jedi54: Yes... it is 15% all around (excluding windshield).

Gambit: That's a very nice picture Something looks different though... what type of bulbs do you have in the headlights, fog lights, and corners? Also, what type of wax did you use when you took that pictures?

are you askin' me?? :D

headlights are stock HIDs, the fog lights are stock halogen bulbs, and the corners are JDM with the amber bulb. i also removed the inner reflector from the corners. the reason why the lighting is like that is b/c i used a slower shutter speed on my camera, causing it to be sensitive to light. it doesn't look like that at all in person.

i use Meguire's NXT wax and carnuba wax on top of that.

composition isn't balanced for a "stable" shot, which is probably what's causing you to think something isn't "right" with it. 2nd to last shot (2nd set) is a good example of a shot that is a more conventional composition.

nice shots though. its funny how much parking decks look a like, because i could have sworn that was a parking deck in athens, ga.
