My 5.5gen GXE and friend's Prelude at OU (8 Pictures)
 
I just installed some Sprint springs (just the front) on my Maxima recently, so I decided to go take some pictures of it before I take them off. I think the drop looks good, but the ride quality is not worth the appearance enhancement, IMO. My friends don't think that it's rough, but compared to my Maxspeeds, they are indeed, harsher. My Maxspeeds will be going back on very soon. Enjoy the pictures.

Last, but certainly not least is my friend's Prelude with old-school 3-piece Racing Hart C5 wheels, which he got for $75:

Seriously man.... sweet pics, ride, and camera.... :thumbsup:

whazzzzuup May 18, 2005 07:04 AM

Thanks, guys for the compliments! It has made my day. For the people that don't know what camera I'm using, it's a Canon 300D/Rebel with a Canon 10D firmware hack (custom settings of 10D enabled) mated to a Canon EF 28-105 F/3.5-4.5 II USM lens and Canon EW-63II lens hood and Hoya UV filter .

Sick pictures man, good work wit both car and camera

aliti19 May 18, 2005 08:07 AM

Wow! Amazing pics. I don't know if it's the camera, but damn - that's prob the cleanest silver max i've ever seen. :drool:

UGAd13 May 18, 2005 08:11 AM

Damn Dude, can you come down to Hotlanta and take some pics of my car? Really good work!

Any reason you don't have fogs? It's probably a GXE and came that way but I'm just asking if you had plans to put them in or not.

DragonMaxima May 18, 2005 08:20 AM

Wow nice pictures.

That's alot of camera geek talk right there. I couldn't begin to understand what you just said.

2kprlmax May 18, 2005 08:30 AM

I was looking into that camera but I still undesided on the Nikon D70. But you take some good shots.

aliti19- it's probably the camera that's making the car look good, because my car is just an average Maxima.

UGAd13- Taking pictures is what I do when I'm bored. I would love to take pictures of your car if you were closer. I don't think I am getting foglights anytime soon. I am still saving up for some Hotshot headers.

DragonMaxima- I must admit that I am a camera geek. People are into different things, like video games. Photography does it for me.

2kprlmax- If you want my opinion, the Nikon D70 will give you cleaner pictures at 100 ISO, but it is a much harder camera to use. At higher ISOs, the Canon and Nikon should be very similar. The most important thing is the price. I got my camera for $650 awhile back. As you know, the D70 is close to the $1000 price range. It is proven that the D70 is a better camera, but is it worth the extra couple hundred? The answer is up to you.

jimmycapp May 18, 2005 09:38 AM

Gorgeous :thumbsup:

icelandmaxima May 18, 2005 09:41 AM

Car looks phenomonal i dont know if its because of the camera or lighting but that car shines like crazy. Slap some fogs in there and you are good to go.

nadeemp8 May 18, 2005 09:45 AM

Super nice car and camera.....also liking the prelude

I checked and the price for that camera or similar canon eos is like 1000

Epacy May 18, 2005 12:53 PM

Those pics are the best you have ever taken. That first one is unreal!!
I gotta come back there and get my car in for some of these shoots.
Did you get a cf hood?

PoLo May 18, 2005 01:00 PM

yo, i'm rocking cracked fogs, cause they keep on cracking, and i have another set of cracked fogs just building up dust. now, i am gettin very annoyed that every picture i see of your nice a$$ car doesn't have fogs...so how about you pay shipping, and i send you the fogs, the fog switch, and the relay, for free.. at least the car will look someone complete. PM if you want it.

S00NR1 May 18, 2005 01:04 PM

You better jump on that Van!

ayjayaye May 18, 2005 01:08 PM

maximo-SE May 18, 2005 01:18 PM

nismo0604 May 18, 2005 04:49 PM

if any1 wants a photoshoot in the NE with their car my friend is a profesional photographer with a NIKON D70 and a photoshop master it may cost u like 30$ tho

BlackBIRDVQ May 18, 2005 05:46 PM

Damn Whazzzup that car looks sick- Way to represent the GXE A33s !

BTW I love that camera, I just got a camera myself last week and I'm still trying to figure out how tha funk its used... Olympus E20-N SLR. I took pics with it this weekend of my car but it wasn't setup right wortha sh!t.

Imax00 May 18, 2005 05:48 PM

YES, PLEASE!

whazzzzuup May 18, 2005 06:14 PM

First of all, thanks for all the compliments!

Epacy- Eric, that's not a CF hood. It's the reflection off of the green sign above.

ayjayaye- I took a picture of my camera with a camera that I bought my girlfriend (Canon A70).

maximo-SE- the Canon 20D is my dream camera, in which I cannot afford. Sometimes, I think about selling my SSR's to buy one, but then my car wouldn't be picture-worthy anymore...

BlackBIRDVQ- it's all about the practice and reading up on techniques. That camera has a lot of potential. In no time, you will be able to master that camera.

well if you ever plan to sell 'em, i'm first in line :D jk, i know you wont, but it's worth a shot anyway!

Dan May 18, 2005 06:21 PM

what is your detailing procedure? It looks amazing.

Mass_Media May 18, 2005 06:21 PM

WOW! Those are stunning....each one is increadible!

EN§AiN May 18, 2005 06:26 PM

you should seriously be a professional photographer - those pix should be in a magazine

I haven't waxed my car with NXT in a couple of months, but usually after every wash, I use RainX Fast Wax to keep the car shiny. I washed the car on Saturday, but I was out of Fast Wax, so I just dried it like I normally do with the Absorber. I finished it off with some tire shine. This time, my friend with the Prelude put some Black Magic tire gel on my tires for me. During the shoot, there are bird droppings and a layer of dust on the car.

Great photography and nice car!
