Heh, the pictures were decent ideas in composition, but you're right - you need a camera with more adjustable settings. I've tried taking shots like that, and they are always very difficult to make them come out even with a good camera. So just getting a better camera will not solve the problem - it takes some knowledge of in-camera metering or manual exposure to get them to come out well.

Maybe you guys should trade seats, then your car might actually pass for a "real" SPIRIT-R at a glance (well, besides it not being right hand steer of course).

I love to hear the things people say to try and convince themselves that the "protrusion" actually improves the aesthetics of the front fascia. It does'nt get rid of the "smile", all it does is create the look of a "smile with a square *** nose". Just be true to yourself and admit that it looks like *** and call it a day.

What are you, a psychiatrist? Or perhaps an automotive designer? Negative, I think you are someone who enjoys shoving their opinions down other people's throats.

I happen to like the look of my front bumper, and I sure as hell don't think my FD looks like ***. Have a nice day .

I agree that it's always good to have options. Now take back what you said about my FD or else my Dad will beat up your Dad

Ha ha ha! and your mother wears combat boots. Word up....I never accused "your FD" of being "*** like" in appearance, only the "protrusion" in question. I am sure this debate will go on for all of eternity, so like maduhbee said earlier, different strokes for different folks. Kind of like how some guys like their pie harry and others prefer it to be clean shaven.
