9k, just looked at your photo set, very nice indeed! Every time I think I should just stay standard someone ruins my theory by showing a gorgeous car that looks a little different and I get the urge again. Well done, it looks stunning. Cheers.

Off topic, but what camera are you shooting with?

Great pics, you must be a very sore man with all the time you have into that shine.

No I swapped my aging factory Xenon headlight assemblies for a brand new set of non Xenon OEM headlights and I am running the slim ballast kit from DDmtuning with H7 5000k HID bulbs off of the factory HID wiring. My wheels are sitting at 19 x9.5 +27 rear (255/35-19) and 19 x 8.5 +23 front (245/35-19).

Nikon D40, I have had it for years. I still have a lot to learn and these would have been way better had I used my tripod. But it was a last minute shoot so I just grabbed my camera and went for a cruise

Generally I just use Turtle wax ZIP max car wash and Turtle Wax Ice clay bar and wax. But my car just underwent a 6 stage Adam's detail and polish by our SARX detailer, Houstonrx8er
