    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 like the car

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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

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

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

    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.

    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.


    example.

    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.

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

    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.
