I looked into doing a RHD conversion, and it just seamed like a freaking nightmare. It was looking like 2 good months worth of work and about 15K in labor, and 5K in parts.

Total with rental = 20.5K for RHD.... NOT WORTH IT. Better to buy a JDM version and convert everything else to US spec to get it legal.

Michael, like the shot with the car/truck zooming by...as well as the shot on post 183. The coloring is so nice with the Winged Blue.

Night Shoot #1 - Sopheak

Sopheak finally got his kit back tonight, and we went to the spot in the Ultrastar cinema parking lot...it backs up against the 10 freeway at Sierra. Got some good ones....I think.

Sopheak

some more shots..the last one is blurry, but thought I would post it cause you'll see a ghost outline of the Stater Brothers truck driving by on the freeway....

i like the shots sopheack...i would be intrested in getting pictures there but closer to twlight becauase orange lights on a red dont do it justice but at twlight you still have some good light and people will be turnind on their head lights.

Yes I do have the mazdaspeed rear. But, I'll most likely keep my rear areo flares in case something happens to my bumper or if I decide to go back to stock.

I'll let you know if I decide to sell them.

Snowfl8k---Silver Building Series

Here's some pics we took after leaving SS9 yesterday. Thought the coloring and shape of the building went well with the car...plus, might as well take advantage of the freshly washed/waxed car. What do you guys think...any of these calendar worthy?

Silver Series continued

Of course, these would have looked incredible as sunset approached...but we we're tired and hungry.

i like the 4th pix of each of those 3 sets. when the wheels are slightly turned, it adds a stronger dimension to the pix for some reason.

Michael, what brand of lambos do you have?

What brand sub?

What brand amp?

and do you want the factory parts listed as "Factory Dark Chrome Wheels" or "OEM Dark Chrome Wheels"...?
