Uh, well for one, stop shooting in and out of the shade, if you're gonna shoot shade, stand in the shade, then expose for the average lit places on the car, like where the door and the pinch rail come together....

If you're gonna shoot in / out of the shade, make sure you have sufficient shade over the lens, and then expose for the darker parts of the car, your BG will blow out, same thing goes for if you're in the shade, and the car is in the sunlight, get into the sunlight or deal with all the dark spots, beeing pitch black... and expose for the paint...

rx7raca,

Do you realize how much of a pain in the *** it is to paint a non-white car white and have it look WHITE?

...and don't shoot a white car in the middle of the day when the sun is directly overhead and the light is extremely "hot". Shoot when the sun starts going down, so that the light is "warmer", and you can see more of the smooth curves of the bodywork.

hey i have a quick question. for the the 99 spec bumber, do you need to replace the stock reinforcement bar with the 99 Spec Reinforcement Bar in order to put the 99 bumber on?

sweet car buddy, i think 99 spec is the way to go. Some of the aftermarket body kits are pretty sweet but I think full 99 spec is the way to go.

rx7raca, not a big deal but do you realize you keep spelling bumper? Just wondering if you call it a "bumber" as a joke or something or if its simply a typo. I'm not ragging on ya, just wanted to bring it to your attention. Dont take it personal.

Very nice. The 99 front end looks 10x better than the aftermarket bumpers imo.

You do not need the 99 rebar but it is recommended. You can modify the stock rebar to make the 99 bumper fit.
