^ thanks for the link I remember reading that thread awhile back. Lots of good info.

I like the contrast between a clean car and a gritty industrial background.

What city do you live in again? I would recommend you look at photos of where the car photogs shoot in the area where you live. You can use flickr too to search for shooting locations.

Your photog should definitely plan to shoot your car at sunrise or sunset in nice even lighting (assuming he isn't using strobes).
I live in Nashville, tn. Some of the locations I've been thinking about is behind bldgs with a loading doc. I to like the industry look kinda like a nice clean car in the middle of no where.

I think the plan is to shoot the rig shoot and other shots close to sunset and maybe do a few strobes at the top of a parking garage or inside the garage. Think Calvin has done some shots like this and they look sick.

Thanks for taking time to provide those suggestions. I can't wait for the shoot.

^ thanks guys. The guy got some editing to do. never realized how much was involved in a shoot. We shot at 3 different locations and it took about 4 hours, so i hope they turned out good.

I'm sure you seen the trunk b4, it's 4drmadness's old trunk. I like the fact that it's unique...I kinda like the bling on the door handles, i think it flows well with the wheels.

^ thxs man, What's the latest on your ride? Didnt you get some new wheels?

Not a whole was going on with the G the past couple of weeks, been working on a custom motorcycle and hoping to wrap this thing up in a few weeks.


As for the G I’ve lowered the rear a lil more and this is the way it currently sits.



My buddy with a blk coupe finally got his stance right, so I think we are gonna get together for a lil shoot. So stay stayed if you like to see new pics of the sedan and his coupe buddy. This is how we sat a few wks ago. iPhone pic FTL


EDIT: found me another set of wheels i really like...
