I saw, but $10 for a frame? Kinda pricey. May just make a sticker lol.

It wasn't too bad, Just like anything I wrap, Sand the DOT #s off, get it good and clean, then Heat and wrap it... Trim to fit. The only bad part is when I took them out, the plastic clips broke on both.

I Washed the car up and got some late afternoon shots with the new lens. I hoping they turn out well... You will know soon enough if they did.

Alright, Shot the whole time at Minimum Aperture so some of the shots actually don't have enough FOD. Just paying around, getting a feel for the lens. Washed the car But some of the Rinse water Froze before I could get it dry so I said F-It.

Tires shipped out today, So I should have them next week, Also waiting on One more lens and an IR Filter.

Doing a model shoot with the car possibly next weekend.


As for these shots, I'm not 100% happy with them. I think a higher aperture, and a nice tripod would correct most of my problems.

Chazz,

Check your front suspension for spring spacers... that car doesn't look like it is sitting right.

Getting some Tein S-Techs for now. Hopefully A Nice Coil setup next year sometime. Ill check for spacers in the morning when its light out. Hopefully Ill have the S-Techs on before the end of the month.

Here are some new shots from tonight. I love this new lens!
All shots were taken at about 8PM with nothing more than Starlight. No moon, NO artificial light.
