Some more pics I took

I have to put miles on my freshly rebuilt engine, so today I took a trip deep into the mountains behind my university. I just kept going on this road until eventually I hit a dead end where there was a Lockheed Martin research facility (and no other cars) so I decided to park my car on the road and snap a few shots. I think they came out alright, but I don't think the lighting was optimal (7:30PM).

















btw supertrapps are the ugliest mufflers on the planet, proper 6" magnaflow cans are going in this weekend.

The car's not a show car so I don't mind the fitment of the fenders. If you're a perfectionist I'm sure the fitment would bug you a lot, but meh, they fit the tires underneath them, so I'm happy. I'm going to get a ShineAutoProject front lip (not one of their replicas, the first one they came out with) and leave it black.

Very nice car. I like the Fenders, and the fitment doesn't bother me at all.

Superstrapps.... I'm glad you are replacing them!

The pics are just perfect. The lighting couldn't be better. It isn't washed out and is very brilliant.

Keep 'em comming.

Sweet car, love the bronze rims on the white FC! Not sure what those exhaust caps are but they have got to go though. Overall pretty damn clean, especially since it aint a "show" car.

Olympus E-300, the cheapest digital SLR. I bought it so I could get used to using an SLR camera, I'll probably sell it this summer and get something bigger and better, like a Nikon D200 probably.

17x9 all around, +15 in front and +35 in the rear. I think I might get some +35 in the front and use 10-15mm spacers so I can have 255s all around. That'd be fun.
