SilverHokie's Super Photoshoot Thread **56K Warning**

Finally was able to go out and take photos of the car after all the updates I've done recently. I hope you guys enjoy...it's been a long time and alot of money. The next mods I plan will hopefully be based on performance. The boost kind of performance. Special thanks to Fluid Motorsports for getting the wheels, lugs, clear corners and springs to me quickly.

I've posted a couple of photos but I have added:
ShineAuto Burnout Replica
Evo-R Wing
Work Emotion CR Kai 18x8.5 Front Semi-Concave 18x9.5 Rear Deep Concave
Falken 452's - 265/35/18 and 245/40/18
Tein S-Techs (Now I won't get "Drop It!!!!" responses)
JDM Clear Corners
5zigen ProRacer Lugs















[IMG]http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2460/3846761088_f556a3e08f_o.jpg[/IMG

My favorite one. I did not notice the crazy clouds until I pulled the pic off the cam, and the mountains make the pic look somewhat mystic?

I think they would look ridiculous on a black 09 R3. Definitely...

Very clean!

Dumb question- why is only one of the lug nuts closed and all others open? Is that one an anti-theft lug nut? They look very nice, I am considering getting them. They look like a very tight fit tho.

Looks great. Do you have more angles showing the Evo-R wing?

Also just curious, was the car ever repainted? The driver side door looks a shade lighter.

very well done.

the color matched burnout looks really good. i've never seen that before. and your skirts also match well. not sure about the lip spoiler but might just need some pics of the rear for a better look.

way to rep ss!

I was thinking the same thing, but either way everything looks great. Also wondering how you have such clear pictures too.

Yes I do. I can post some up for you in a minute.

No the car was never repainted. I did not notice the door until you said something. I think my angles are making the door look weird. I went to the garage to look myself and it does not look like that in person. Weird.

Nikon D40 - Simple DSLR camera. It's awesome though for the price. When I become a big boy I will step my game up.

Tein S-Tech's - My rear did not drop properly yet...Looks a little high.

5zigen ProRacer Lugs come with one lock nut. You need the key the set comes with to take it off.

Ok cool, that's what I thought. I want that set- they look very nice. Next on my to-do list. I like the fact they have a lock, that's a big deal to me, don't want anyone stealing my rims, haha.

Very Sharp. Your photo shoot reminds me of Sifu's. One of these days I'll get that kit and take photos to make a trifecta.
