I had a good time regardless, you missed the earlier drama when someone got arrested for shoplifting at Walmart and they had a bunch of cops around

Man If I only had all the money I sunk into my Mustang I could hook up my Fit lol

I really like your Type F and Mikes Type-C SSR wheels and you can't beat the weight savings.

if you keep an eye out on craigslist you just might get lucky...my type C's have a little curb rash on one wheel, but the guy i picked them up from sold them to me for $1,000 with tires and 2 extra spare tires to boot of the same type and size that are already mounted to the rims. granted the tires that he had on the rims have about half tread left but other than that the car took another big leap in handling and performance just from swapping out to lighter rims and adding in 5mm spacers on the rear wheels. i'd say at this point between static and rolling weight i've shaved off close to 100lbs. off the car by taking out the spare and switching to lighter rims

Sick rides as usual guys. Sorry can't help but creep these awesome pics.

Waiz you're making me wanna wrap my roof so bad lol.. How much does it usually cost to do? If you know somewhere cheap down there, maybe I'll just wait till I get there..

Mike, the note looks great. Definitely feels good to know I'm not the only one left in monster truck mode

I liked your shots too Zuriel! , this lot can be difficult to shoot in depending on where the car is parked and how far away it is from the light poles.

I have been using this lens for a little while now and it is my go-to if I'm outdoors:

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II Camera Lens:Amazon:Camera & Photo

The only bad thing is it's a fixed lens so you can't zoom which makes it difficult to shoot in tight spaces.

Roof wrap can run between $150 and $200 depending on the place, when you're here I will send you to my guy I think it really tied me whole theme together!

Mike is waiting on Tanabe to decide on what they need his car for, then he will either get springs or coils

Thanks, I just like how your bokeh effect comes out-- my f-stop isn't as low as 1.8 and my background gets pretty grainy before all my editing haha. The blurred background seems to make things look so much smoother. Or could it also be because of my settings on the camera? Pretty new to all the settings stuff and I'm tryna get better

That's where this lens is in it's element, smoothes out the edges and really shows the crisp detail.

It's the best lens for shooting engine bays, really makes them pop!

I hear that! I can definitely see the difference between your shots and mine; the 50mm looks good for solo/focused shots. I'm really glad it's affordable too! I've been on the lookout for my next lens and it seems like this'll be my next one

Wais should do it! I'm pretty much still on the noob-side as well haha.
