Thanks for all the comments everyone! Saturday's photo shoot day if it's not raining. Any tips on camera settings or positioning for shooting a black car to capture its detail? Nothing quite beats seeing a black car in person.

Ok here's a few more pics after waxing in front of the garage. A couple from the side view like some of you requested but still with the iPhone sorry. At least this angle really makes the calipers pop.

More pics of the rear come Saturday hopefully! Thanks!

They fit really well! There was a little problem with the holes for the license plate lights being too large but my bumper shop quickly fixed that up. Everything else fit like a glove.

Your car definitely looks good, but to much processing IMO, you can't tell whether the car is black or blue.

when did you paint the parts? It might be too early to wax.

I couldn't agree more. But again I DID take these with my iphone and the contrast was ridiculously low and the car looked pretty much like a fat shadow with no detail to the body whatsoever haha. Come Saturday I'm gonna bring her out for a real photo shoot and I'll have better pictures then. Thanks !

If your paint was baked on, you can actually wax your car w/o a waiting period.

Why is your rear bumper flaring out at the sides. Shouldn't it be tapering and curving in to show the tires? It does not look right.

Hmmm you're right. I never noticed. I'll take a look at it when I get home. Hopefully it's just the angle or that I'm parked on a hill. *crossing fingers*

Good eye, I noticed that too. You can especially tell from the direct rear shot. I think it was done to make the rear end look wider, but I don't think it looks natural. Should be tapered in to show the meaty rear wheels.

Besides that, very clean looking car I like the combo with the wheels!

Since it's polyurethane you can actually play with it. Take a look at my signature photo. I have the same bumper. Easy 5 min. job.
