It's not flat anymore, I actually took it around the block today!

The S looks great. It'll be awesome when you lower it. The last few pics look good. The HDR one, not so much. Need to blow out your sensor.

You mean the sensor on the camera? I don't see how it could be dirty I've only had the camera for about a month... maybe it's the processing?

Nah. They can get dirty quick. Even if you never take the lens off, the act of zooming makes a kind of vacuum that sucks in dust. The only way to avoid that is to use gasketed lenses. Also, dont ever change lenses in your car, probably the dustiest place on earth.

Those black spots in the upper right hand corner is dust. Just get you one of them compressed air cans and hit your sensor with it. Just be careful

I've had my camera for 2.5 years, 100k actuations, at every major track event including a few horse shows, and never once had my sensor cleaned

*edit*
These spots are either on the sensor or the lens, can't really tell from the pics...

[Z0_o6]

[sirkus]

Looks nice man.. I like the HDR picture. The dirt adds character.

[JITB]

u need to take a pic of the top down, with the wheels! i bet the seats stand out real nice now.

[Dwisforme05]

i fricken love Volks on Imports. looks great man!!!

[Z0_o6]

Here's a quick rough idea of the stance I'm looking for courtesy of Photoshop:

[gtikid]

Specs on wheels? BTW, you blurred out your tag in the last pic, but not on the other one

[Z0_o6]

lol i just realized that! oh well, i doubt it will be an issue, the tag is registered elsewhere anyways. the wheels are 17x7.5" Front, 17x8.5" rear, with stock offsets.

[Brett]

Lookin great man

[gtikid]

I like it, it looks good

[CHADbee]

LOVE the color combo!!!! white is my favorite S2k and the gold goes great with the interior

[Z0_o6]

thanks chad! THIS is the reason I haven't gotten that clutch from ya yet! I think its a valid excuse lol. Any tips on how to improve on the HDR stuff? I know you are pretty damn good at photos

[CHADbee]

LOL yeah volks aint cheap!!! I cant really give you much advice on the HDR stuff cause ive never done the research into doing them properly cause i just dont like HDR photos myself. i just dont like what it does to the paint of a car, it makes it look different colors instead of being smooth.

The burnt marshmallow look IS NOT HDR. It's level and curve adjustments gone bad.

hey hey hey... It's my first try....lol, I'll get it sooner or later, to me it's kind of tough to notice all the minute differences between each setting, so I just start screwing around and guessing til I get something close to what I want.

its not you, it looks exactly the same as what nearly everybody else calls an HDR...it's the best software can automatically do.

yeah i have seen alot of nicely done proper HDR photos that i like, its just when people say HDR i just automatically think of that. im just ruined for life from seeing too many horrible HDR's

[95jdmdc4]

volks ftw

[FasTech]

Honestly, I think it looks very badass, bro. Of course it will look 50 times better once a nice drop if applied. Please don't slam it though.

I'm thinking very seriously about getting the Skunk2 springs and cutting a coil off.

That'd be hot.

Glad to hear you're not too pussy to cut some springs
