cruising around today...

Snapped some pictures today as the sun was going down. I had a good time just cruising around and chilling. Hope you guys enjoy.

Allen, you ever consider removing your pin stripping? It would look ultra clean without it.

Did you get the intercooler piping problem taken care of?

Car looks great by the way!

haha. I kind of like the pin striping actually. lol. But we kind of mocked the hot side piping up to where it will fall and it looks like it may work. I will just have to clock the turbo. If anything, it will require little modification hopefully (crosses fingers*).

I have some things I have to buy before that goes on and we get started with it first tho.

-my turbo/turbo manifold gasket is coming from malloy mazda tomorrow
-I have to order a nice intake somewhere

But thanks for the compliments! I will hit you up when we get everything finished and let you know how that goes. I cant wait to get the fmic on and try it out.

just a little post processing. Yeah I like my pictures warm for some reason. lol. I can't stand really cold, blue shots... it annoys me. I am trying to even it out some but these aren't a good example b/c it was around sunset.

do share how the WB is set up like that!!! Correct me if I'm wrong but is it overcast outside? I'm all ears to some tips and critique. I really like that shot!

are you shooting with a canon?

yes a canon, and def overcast, just finished raining...
hold on let me get my exif data
Flash Used: No Focal Length: 33.0mm (35mm equivalent: 54mm...
CCD Width: 22.20mm Exposure Time: 0.0100 s (1/100)
Aperture: f/13.0 ISO Equiv.: 200
Whitebalance: Auto

haha auto wb on that one...i was shooting a bunch of shots that day for a meet so i didnt feel like messing with it too much.
shooting with sunsets makes it really hard to get a neutral wb but when you do and still capture the sunset in the red/orange its awesome

I dont know why everyone wants to remove pin striping and the black s4 trim. I think it has a classic look to it when it's in good shape.
