Finally got my car back from the shop *WARNING: LOTS OF PICS****

If you guys didn't know, my car got hit from a tree from that tornado on 9/16 in NY.

Couple dings here and there but roof, trunk and rear quarter panel got hit the hardest. Also had to replace front and rear windshield as well as the sunroof.

Basically, the entire car was repainted.

I had ordered poly impul sideskirt and poly chargespeed rear from ARCH Industries and they promised me I would receive it 1st or 2nd week of October and they been giving me bull**** excuses and making me run around in circles. By end of October, they still haven't shipped it because they haven't finished test fitting them, so I disputed the charges. DO NOT DEAL WITH THEM! Worst customer service and lack of communication after they take your money.

Ok, on to the pictures..





















I finally got it back and had a small photoshoot with my cousin who also has a G35 and a member here, JIEZY

Looks good. That's a lot of damage too and the work looks impeccable. And you're wingless now too, so that's a big plus out of it.

Fail on the large pictures tho.

Ahhh why did you shoot everything at ISO 1600. So noisy.

Car looks good though.

Wow that tree really beat your ride up. Congrats on getting your car back together, looks good.

If you are shooting handheld then you want to shoot at the lowest ISO that will allow you to get a sharp shot at the aperture you are looking to shoot at. If you are shooting with a tripod, then just set it on the lowest ISO since you can afford to have the shutter open for a longer period of time.

Depending on your camera body you can shoot at higher ISOs without introducing much noise. The Rebel XT is one of the entry level bodies, so at 1600 the images look pretty noisy.

Must've been a bad storm. Glad to see you get the G back to on its feet. Both cars are looking clean
