More importantly, where do you get a free Slurpee? I'm down wit' that.

the 7-11's in my area are handing them out

I was thinking you were in Newport News.
If so there are tons of great locations there. Hell, either end of Denbeigh BLVD are good with boat ramps. There are some good roads off of Lucas Creek, or over around NASA and yorktown area.

I have an apartment in Newport News, but these pics were shot in Midlothian

There is more to taking a good car picture than just weird angles and cluttered backgrounds ;)

Cool, I'll be sure to find some dirty alleys and psuedo-construction sites to take pics in

I'm not digging the stripes, but new wheels would do wonders for the look of your car. I went from stocks to chrome stocks and I think they made a huge difference on my car and for only 200 bucks.

Car looks pretty good, but i prefer sun over overcast.

But your car sounds amazing, and that makes up for your few appearance mods. But i'm thinking black/polished lip wheels (even painting your stockers) might look good as well as tint.

Why is your name "smokepanther" when you have a silver car?

He is smoked, not his car.

On a black car, anything chrome looks better than anything painted. It's not quite the same for light colored cars like mine. IMO, if i do change the wheels, they'll be black or painted.

But i'm thinking black/polished lip wheels (even painting your stockers) might look good as well as tint.

I plan to paint the wheels that exact color scheme, however, I'm waiting for a consequtive 3-4 days off of work so that I can take my time and get a quality product, since this car is my DD.
I'm not tinting my windows so long as I live in Virginia. The legal limit here is a joke...I could not wash my windows for a month and get the same amount of light blocked as the legal tint limit around here, so it's no where near worth the money to do it in my state. While I could give a rat's @$$ about state laws concerning performance parts (I just passed state inspection with a gutted cat, blocked EGR, and a cutout), when it comes to appearance stuff, I'm strictly by the book.

Tint laws are pretty ridiculous. I see 20% being safe and good looking, and that should be the limit everywhere. The law around here is 35% which is just dark enough to start looking decent in the right light, and doesn't abstract visiibilty in the slightest no matter what the conditions, so i guess i can live with it. But 50% is quite ridiculous. Maybe the guys should actually look at 50% tint before deciding it's not safe to have anything darker. It's basically like not having tinted windows..

Anyway, I think painting your wheels will really set your car off, and i'm looking forward to seeing pictures when you get a chance to take on the task!

Re: 7-11-2007 Pics [56k, go get a free slurpee]

eh, car looks good.

EVERY picture is from the same angle.... is it because the stripes are the only appearance mod you have?

In previous photoshoots I've done, people whined that I didn't show the stripes off enough. And now, as I predicted, people are crying about them...So good thing I take pictures I like, since there's no making everyone happy.

Yea, but it just doesn't have the same effect as urban decay and dead weeds.

Virginia tint laws = GAY

50% side and 35% back

When I lived there and had my car inspected I always went to the inspection place with my windows rolled down. I got pulled over for speeding once and the state trooper had me roll my windows up to check them. 22% he told me and then wrote me a ticket for 60 bucks, I think.

you only got 2 pictures that stand out, the rear of your car, and the foglights on. and if you took another 143 pics and they are all the same to angles, i dont know what to say but use your imagination. real models dont only have one pose for an entire photoshoot, yours shouldnt either. you posted pics on here and you are going to get honest opinions on your work, and it boring.

As I said before, the purpose of this photoshoot was to get the best possible picture. I found the angles I liked, and took pictures with as many variations that could be applied without loosing the shot I wanted.

real models dont only have one pose for an entire photoshoot, yours shouldnt either.

Who said I only shot one "pose"? As I've stated at least three times, the goal of this photoshoot was for the best possible picture. I used about 9-10 poses, each with maybe 10-15 shots per pose. For some poses, I did not approve of any of the picture that came out, and deleted them off the memory stick.

you posted pics on here and you are going to get honest opinions on your work, and it boring.

I apologize my car wasn't able to hold your interest. Maybe 2fast2furious.com would have something more appealing to you.
