Cool Cleaned the car and took some new pics

Finally got around to taking the car out for a photoshoot. I haven't had a chance to do this in over a year, let alone use my new camera. So here are some pics. Had to take them fast as security asked me to move my car since I was blocking the road Hope you like them

53 views and no comments. Either you guys can't see the pics or don't like them. Come on, be honest

How do you keep from getting chips and scrapes? Do you simply redo the front from time to time, or do you just not drive it that much? Mine seems to need major TLC every month and I have done my stripes twice now and they look horrible again.

I used some HDR photo software to give them more contrast.

Car looks good. Don't worry, I've had threads here get one reply and fade into oblivion, lol.

Do you have any originals without retouching?

There are some chips on the front and a few scrapes down near the stripes on the lower part of the fascia. I might have to get it repainted next year cause it drives me nuts.

I really like that body kit, BTW!! It's very clean, and I usually don't like anything outside of stock, Saleen, or Roush.

Your car looks great!! But the photo retouching does nothing for the car. Take some natural photos to show the true beauty of your car.

Your car looks great. I don't mind the photo retouching but it looks a lot like what car companies used to do with their print ads. Your sense of composition is great.

Here are the untouched versions. Again, any comments feel free to say them. I am trying to get better at taking pictures and since I have never had training, any suggestions are definitely appreciated.

The 1st set of pics made me think I needed glasses The second set is much better. Your car still looks tight after all this time. What security is on some back country roads? I hope taxes don't pay for that

The road is actually a private road that goes to the place I work at. Oddly enough it is the nicest scenery in the area. So it is patrolled by a local security company who are sticklers even for people that work there and are just enjoying a weekend cruise.
