[firby911]

Next time try and avoid that type of lighting. Use parking lots that have lighting like what is on the right, not the left:

I know,statesboro is a shit hole and has nothing to offer at night,this is the only spot we could find with semi decent lighting. I think they came out good despite that though.

[Dylan]

Are the wheels a creme color?

They aren't bad photos, they just could have been MUCH better by using a parking lot without that nasty lighting that destroys the white balance. I like the composition of the 1st and last shot a lot though. Those would be my favorites.

Yea,they look great in person.

Im going to try reshooting the car during the day soon to really get some good photos. Im hoping to pick up some new lenses soon,im tired of being stuck on the 18-55 lol.

[cactusEG]

is the roof white ?

[firby911]

is the roof white ?

Its vinbyl wrapped in creme,the same color as the rs's.

[quickdodge®]

I like the wheels, but not the stretched tires.
I like the wheel color but not the off color roof.
I don't like how the rear wheel looks to be shoved forward in the wheel well.

Overall, it's a nice looking car. Later, QD.

[Julio]

Rear wheels look terrible. Nice wheels though.. This stance stuff is out of control...

[GlennsEK]

I like it but needs to be lower.

[oreign]

I like it but needs to be lower.

lol

[CHADbee]

I like it but needs to be lower.

I agree with this guy. Drop it another 11-12 inches where the car is physically under the ground and its perfect.

This stance stuff is out of control...x11ty thousand million

[Drummerboy]

no hydros no care.

[DeeAOne]

I don't understand why every Jetta or just VW for that matter have that awkward wheel position in the wheel well when they are bagged?

That alone would be enough for me not to do it. lol

[jonbuice5591]

its nice but i think it would look alot better if he had hydraulics so he would lay HARD.

[Mr.Ek9]

I don't like how the rear wheel looks to be shoved forward in the wheel well.


That is just what happens in these cars, the solid rear beam pulls forward. Only way around it is custom brackets.


I like it but needs to be lower.

I agree, I was this low static.

Not stance, Volkswagen. Big difference.

[revenge]

nice car dont know so much about the bags but overall very bad a@$ car!!

[Relentless]

I love it, but like QD said, the way the wheels are shoved forward bothers me...

[Boosting EG]

looks nice

well, you can easily change your white balance in photoshop. not the best example but it rids out the shit orange light.

I believe we've had this conversation a few times. and I'll answer the rear wheel sucking forward in a moment.

Although i respect your opinion, my style, my car.

it really doesn't get that much lower

u right

The rear beam is on a pivot point facing the front of the car, naturally if you follow the outside of the circle on the bushing (roughly 2-3") and extend that point out a foot-two feet, you get an exaggerated swing upward and in, hence the tuck forward. they do make brackets (mason tech great plates) which don't work with bags unless you modify them, and a new company JUST released a bracket that changes the mounting point of the rear hub.

We have? Later, QD.

We have? Later, QD.

At the time of me joining IA I posted my car and you said the exact same thing and we brought up our different styles, you, being older and me being younger and the different influences.

[punkr6]

this simply does not work for me..

[sim0nvr6]

sucks

Ahhh. Well you can see our styles haven't changed much, huh. Lolol. Like I said, though, I do like your car. It's just the couple of little "personal nuisances" is all.

Also, I had no idea this was your car. Later, QD.

[Genji-Sama]

Yeah, i've always wondered why VWs look like the wheel is shoved forward when they're slammed and agreed love the wheels and the car :goodjob:

EDIT: NVM, just read a few post, makes sense now :goodjob:

[1CleanEg]

It always easier to shoot right before sunset or find a parking lot with the right lighting. You're "fixed" example still doesn't have correct tones and WB.

[Mr.Ek9]

21.6 You know the car. I no longer have it though.

Im aware. Hence why the screenshot is while it's in photoshop. Not the final product. Just a comparison shot I had screen shotted at the time.
