Threw on some new stuff like Toyota OEM Optional front lip from Tom's (I still have my ss-III splitters painted black too for reserves), JDM Side Markers, SS-III Wing Badge, Short Shifter, New Paint JOB - not an OEM color for any car, its black toner (TRUE PURE BLACK no hints of any other color) with clear mixed with black also, and some little stuff. One of the beach pics might be my calendar submission but I do need to take more pics just to get better choices. I have a crappy camera even though I have a 10mp. But I might get it photoshopped to help my lack of skills.

UPDATE: MORE BAD PICS UPLOADED!!!

Wow, that is quite the makeover. Looking great!

What's up with the right high beam cover being yellow?


its actually yellow bulbs, I use it just to refract some yellow tint onto my high beam lenses, gives it a lil extra more detail and character. Most people do that in order to give the front end some extra to it.

looks great man, just need to lighten the pics some to show off the definition of the car.


I know, like i said my camera and skills for lighting sucks. I will get better at it and fine tune the camera a bit. the car is really really black in person and it does not show much detail at all, i wonder how I can bring it out in pictures.

Has nothing to do with the camera, you just need to try not using flash even when it is like evening, because mine actually shows lighter without flash than if I use flash when the sun is setting, and then just use like Easyshare with Kodak, and keep reapplying settings until they are perfect for you, or use Google Picesa, but those will help you play a lil bit with the photos and you can get that fill lighting in, a tad of high lights, and then shadow in a bit to keep the integrity of the darker areas, while still adding that definition by filling in more light. Those two programs are very easy and simple to use, unlike photoshop which is hard as hell to use.
