Perhaps... if they are a little dark, it may be due to my settings on my camera or my laptop... I'm still trying to learn how to get the best pictures out of my point-and-shoot.

I was experimenting with the brightness and contrast levels with PhotoShop on the first photo, but the rest are pretty much straight from the camera (except for the deletion of the license plate numbers).

I need to find a tripod... a REAL tripod (not the three inch tall mini-tripod that I got for free). Then I would be planning to make some attempts at night shots. Might be a challenge since I'm not too sure if the point-and-shoot is capable of really slow shutter speeds... only one way to find out...

Looks good Winston. If you want you can HAVE my tripod. I have no use for it. I don't shoot pictures anymore.

Maybe I should've redded out your TBL instead of tinting it.

^ Just the fact that you have the RS3 tails and it would've matched better.

^^yeah, I thought about that too... but it would just look like a stock TBL to the untrained (non-Scion) eye...

I kinda like the fact that the TBL "dissappears" against the FM.

I hope these came out okay considering the low light conditions and my luck-luster skills. These were taken with the flash turned off and the ISO set to 100.

I haven't had a chance to try some night-shots but that's next on my list... (I'm gonna need a tripod)... wha-da-ya think so far???

Great job Winston!

Maybe this Thursday night we can talk some other owners in to going to the "Shroom" lot down the road and take night shots there

Hold up, you "Woah, woah, WOAH" there... where I come from, you gotta wine and dine me before you feel up my ride... anyways... my tC now has a nice layer of dirt and dust courtesy of Mother Nature and her Santa Ana winds... the car feels pretty crappy now...

one more thing... my mama told me to never take shots in the "Shroom" lot down the road... okay, that's enough of the corny jokes.... but I may not be able to head out to the meet this week due to other family stuff. You'll have to "feel" my car another time.

I would have if I could have (gotten the M3 really cheap)

I got a REALLY good deal on the spoiler... (read;FREE)

and since the deal was so good it was still better than nothin' on the hatch at all...( a free factory mod is better than no mod in my book)

But unlike the general consensus around these parts, I personally like the pedestal spoiler.
