Chicago pics with new carbon fiber hood

Got my new hood this week, and got some nice pictures taken this weekend. Now I am only waiting on my new wheels to come in soon. Work XD-9's in gunmetal. The lighting isn't quite perfect in some, but I still think they came out good. Enjoy.

I've been debating that too, I think when the new wheels come I might lose them. Thanks for the good feedback guys!

Are you talking about the accents? Or the actual Mazda emblems?

Good photography and the hood looks killer against VR especially in this lighting!

They alternate spots every week, I've been able to go to the last 2, both times I was the only rotary, the first one was in Elgin, and there were a ton of cars, we got some pretty good pics of that one. This one there was maybe 5 or 6 cars and we lost 3 of them on the way up to Chicago, so he had more time to take pics of just my car. But yeah, I would definitely be down for that, I've been so bogged down with working every weekend in the spring I'm going crazy now.

I personally did not take the pictures, a guy in our local car club who is great with cameras takes pictures at each meet. He has all top of the line gear though, those pics also had additional lighting, and the lense he used was a $500 lense.
