Ok well I finally have it lowered with the body kit on. I took a whole freakin roll of film of my car, and barely even one came out well. Plus on top of that my scanner is like 6 years old and it kind of sucks. But you get the idea.

Any tips for taking MUCH better pictures?
thanks

yah picture is kinda crappy but your car looks very nice with the body kit.

First of all make sure you use either 200/400 grade film, none of that generic crap use Kodak. If you regular camera sux that is bad too. Since your scanner is probably at fault I would reccomend using the things that your developement center has like Pictures on CD/Disk or sent to you online.

What I would reccomend the most is investing 300-500 for a nice digital camera allthough I'm sure there is one out for under 200 which would still suit you well.

Thanks for the compliments guys

No I didn't get new shocks (struts) just springs. But they're working great so far. I still have to decide what to do after the stock struts wear out. Tokico is ok, I heard they don't last that long though, and Koni yellow would be nice, but I'm kinda scared to cut anything major.

Yeah I used 400 speed film on my canon. The canon isn't a GREAT camera, but it usually takes good pictures. Maybe the light colored ground around the car had an effect on the darkness. Next time I'm able to make it home, I plan on taking a lot of pictures with my dad's digi-cam. Thanks for the advice. But spending $200 at least on a digi-cam means I'm spending that much less on my car. (wow, this mod bug is getting bad... at least I'm not skipping meals to save up for goodies... yet)

the body kit looks black? is it just cause of the shadowing/lighting?

Plan on gettin those next. After that and when my neon's arrive (if they ever do) then the only other exterior mod I want are 18" rims. I've seen hundreds of different rims, and I still only REALLY like a few sets on my car. So that's prob. gonna be the toughest thing to decide on.

Thanks for the compliments everyone

It's not really black, just the lighting. From a distance it sometimes looks slightly off, but that's only because it's painted on different material. Still a perfect match though.
