New Wheels

I have finally got my car cleaned up. I finished painting the brake calipers, put some new wheels on and got the rear plastic window replaced. Followed that up by spending the day washing and waxing it and now it looks like a new car (except for the fact that the paint is covered in scratches when you get close).

Here's the front view parked just outside some rich guys house up in the foothills. Used the 50mm prime, the flash and the polarized filter, which gave some OK results.

Side view - pretty impressive backdrop! This is my favorite shot of the dozens that I took today.

rear view - showing rich dude's driveway.....

And this is what it looked like 3 weeks ago.....



The list of potential future improvement projects includes.....
  • lowering suspension
  • new front lip
  • side skirts
  • new spoiler
  • professional paint refinishing
Alternatively I could do nothing, which is more likely.
