Needs to be lowered bad... LOL at Subaru flat tire.

**.blank cd** · 07-06-2009, 11:33 PM

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?

**PURP** · 07-06-2009, 11:35 PM

**sirkus** · 07-06-2009, 11:35 PM

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

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'll do that, I appreciate the advice- reps

**gtikid** · 07-07-2009, 12:07 AM

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

**Z0_o6** · 07-07-2009, 12:10 AM

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.

**gtikid** · 07-07-2009, 12:12 AM

I like it, it looks good

**CHADbee** · 07-07-2009, 12:32 AM

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

**Z0_o6** · 07-07-2009, 12:34 AM

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

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.

**95jdmdc4** · 07-07-2009, 12:44 AM

volks ftw

**FasTech** · 07-07-2009, 01:24 AM

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.

**Ronsam2006** · 07-07-2009, 01:25 AM

Nice car and wheels...just needs a drop bad

Ronsam- will be lowered in the next week or so. Just gotta find what springs I want and order them.

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

**WhitEvoMr** · 07-07-2009, 02:03 AM

No concave FTL

still TE37's tho!

For the deal that I got I can't complain! Besides, to get concave faces I'd have to dramatically change the offset and deal with rolling and pulling the fenders, lots of camber, and just generally lots of headache. Thanks though! I agree the concaves are the fucking hotness, like Jay's.
