Nice pics. Especially since they aren't HDR.

Are those wheels PC'd white? Or do they just look white due to the exposure?

Also, tell the owner of the car he's in desperate need of a black intercooler! Tell him to check out http://www.apexanodizing.com/ They're local in Sparks and did my radiator and intercooler in black for super cheap... like so cheap I think it was a mistake so I don't want to tell you how much I didn't pay.

I think I was the one that pointed him their way after my rad & I/C were done.

Have you heard if Apex is doing powdercoating yet?

They're powdercoated white. And I don't do HDR. I don't even know how to do it. And don't have the software lol
I'm all about the taking the pic right the first time, and then if I have to I will just lighten and or darken it in iPhoto.. Nothing fancy.

Hopefully I can progress. This is my second night shoot. Just wanted to show what I've done, and hope for maybe some constructive criticism.

Yup, well we think it was blown up before hand but during tuning was when it totally went. All new now though. My mod list is on my journal on flat4 if you want to read it
