#17
Thanks guys. I appreciate all of the compliments. Thanks to the Fanatic for helping my low-tech self get some pics up finally . . .
Also, thanks to Erik @ Cargraphic for the carbon lip, Wheel Enhancement for the rims and tires, Todd @ EVOMS for the awesome supercharger, and the best of all, Stephen Kaspar, Karl, Nate, Aaron and all of the guys at Imagine Auto for the install, the recommendations, and for pulling it all together. Great board sponsors all.
I have a lot more mods planned, including some DYMAG carbon / magnesium rims on order from Bill at Rennworx, but I knew if I waited any longer to get pics up, I was going to have to quit posting!
Thanks again, Russ

We have had clouds and some light rain all week. I had literally about a five-to-ten minute window to shoot in that evening, and I could see a new set of clouds racing toward the sun as I hopped out of the car. I used all natural light, hand held, with a Canon 24-70 2.8L lens, on the auto Portrait mode setting for ease and speed. I tried to get a couple of shots using a 200mm/2.8L lens, because the glass is so nice, and the longer focal length wipes out most of the background and makes for great portrait work. But the clouds rolled in right as I was getting back out of the car to take some more pics. I think the end results were mixed. But I had never shot a car before, and I was lucky to get the sunlight that I did.
