Small night photoshoot *56K BEWARE*

Sorry she's so dirty.. Haven't been driving her as much lately and I really need to give her a good wash. This week for sure, promise! My buddy wanted to take some shots for the first time he just got into photography. Taken with a Canon Rebel XTI, stock lens.

Sexy shots. I love the wheels. I dig what you did with the paint on the trim. Have you had any troubles with that? I'm repainting my car soon and someone was telling me I needed to get some special paint for the bendable plastic bumper parts.

Thanks. Nope not at all not sure if others have used special methods but we just painted it up normally how we did everything else. I really prefer the look without the side moldings and side markers.

Your car looks hella clean without the side moldings. I'm not sure if I could pull it off. Most cars I've seen go moldless turn out looking like they are missing something, ya know?

If you do it right, it looks great. Takes work, time, and patience. The outcome is lovely though.

Haha, yea most people don't know what the "1337" thing is all about, unless they spend way too much time on forums (like us haha) Funny story about that, a friend of a friend actually got on Jeopardy, and when they got to final Jeopardy his wager was $1,337, no one on the show really got it though haha.

Does your friend use a tripod for the night shots? He needs to read the manual. =P
