hub-caps!!!!
haha they are ok
need to work on gettn your whole car in the pic
and making it the main focus point

[cnelson]

yeah were all rolling on some hubs. haha. i don't got the money (right now at least) to upgrade, performince first. Yeah i know what you mean, they weren't met to be mind blowing pics we just didn't have anything to do, and the sunset was nice in the background.

I loved the expressionist design on the pavement, very artistic. j/k

Hey now, looks can be very deceiving. Think about it, if cnelson had a 3sgte in his car while looking the way it is, what do you think most guys would think? "Oh it's just a stock celica, I could take that with my Civic SI no problem." And next thing you know, Vroom, psst! His car smokes the s*** out of the civic (see where i'm getting at).

but thats not the case in this situation.

cnelson, try to photograph the best parts of the car at the best angles. we didnt really get to see much of your car in these pics.

gettin there, exterior wise, some nice rims are REALLY gonan add to the turning head factor, i got some lights & rims & tint for exterior, and ppl are always watchin me drive by. but deff aim for power first, i hate not having that to back this car up n lately i dont have time to work on it anything in depth.

always good to take lots of pics, see how far you've come =)

i like the tire marks

[cnelson]

Well i believe the order in exteror work will go like this;

1: New tiers, and some rims
2: Full windown tint
3: Paint
4: Lowering

And this weekend i'm going to get HID's off ebay (yeah the fake ones cause i'm cheap, but there'll work)

and the sunset was nice in the background.

So why didnt you put it in the photograph?

If theres a great sunset use it to get great color on the car, while putting the entire car in the picture. The second pic IDK what you were trying to do. The focus is clearly the tire marks but honestly, nobody cares about tire marks. Third pic you took the picture from the wrong side. Get the entire Celica in the picture with the fronts of the other cars in the background. This is just simple critique, please dont take it personally.

Get a photo-editing program. That camera seems about 2mp and shows terrible graininess.




Always remember the rule of thumb, you get what you pay for. Ebay HIDs arent the greatest.

I also think your list is odd. I'd immediately say pass on the tint, paint? What for, going to cost you an arm and a leg and unless your car really needs it, dont do it. Lowering and some tasteful rims does wonders for the car. My 8th grade teacher always said, KISS - keep it simple stupid.

it may of been grainy looking because i did photoshop i think i shaperened it to much.. and i'm just getting use to the camera just got it yesterday (sony cibershot, 7.2 mp) And you can't tell my the pictures but the paint on my hood is chipping bandly, and the front bumber paint doesn't match because the guy before me tried to re-paint it himself and its a shade darker than the orignal.

And don't worry i won't take anything personaly. This is my first try at photographing my car so i'll take all the adivce i can get! Thanks. -cnelson.

Oh and about the ebay thing, i know you get what you pay for but, after talking to pitfirefighter about them he said he loved his.. and i figure for 19 bucks (with shipping and handleing) That i can always just put my old ones back in if i don't like em or they don't work. Other than that i thought i might as well give em a try. -cnelson.

[95CelicaST]

they aren't real HID's. Its just a blue bulb. its "HID-look"

[bufferdan]

I thought your moms told you to only go to the store to get hamburger buns and nothing else!

[cnelson]

There not real HID's but you probably couldn't tell the differance;

[95CelicaST]

8 bucks to ship huh? Sounds like a ripoff to me.

[purplegt4]

Oh well.. i don't have 200$ i can spend on lights right now.. I'm only 17 and two jobs doesn't even cut it anymore. After a while i'll get the real ones. -cnelson.

However i did find some nice rims i'm looking into getting.
