My buddy does photography as a hobby. He kills daytime shoots but he wanted to practice his night shots so we used my car as the test subject. As soon as he emails me the photos ill upload them to share.

Thanks guys

Here's the better shots from the practice shoot. I'm gonna have him do a day shoot so I can have a couple really clean pics of my car but for his first time doing a night shoot, it came out good.

Believe it or not, it was pretty dark where we parked the cars. That extra lighting tricks where all done by him.



with my friend's db:





That's all for now. Hopefully I'll have major updates in the next couple months. I'll be finishing my first year of college in the next couple weeks so updates may be delayed.

Digging the wheels man! And that bay is stupid clean for as many miles as it has. You'd already got some good parts going in man, looks like you'll be doing good by her. Keep up the good work! Any autocross/SCCA event planning?

Thanks man, i actually cleaned up the bay some the other day too but forgot to take pics. As for autocross/SCCA I definitely plan to get into it but I only want to do time trials where I compete against my own personal bests. I just have to continue reading up on the rules and become more familiar with it.

And as for college builds, I heard you 100% on that lol. I was able to put a swap in my old civic, koni/gc's, new body panels and more and still have money left in high school but now it feels like I cant do anything!
