I love the sunset pics, but they need to be overexposed a hair. Your Box is too dark compared to the rest of the pic. A longer lens to get the flash farther away, some fill flash, as well as possibly turning on your taillights/headlights would have made all the difference. When using the camera's auto lightmeter he can also, with most cameras, aim at the section that needs to be overexposed (or actually exposed correctly), hold the button down halfway and then recenter the picture. I have to do this with my Miata in certain light because it is so bright white. The white tends to underexpose, especially with bright light behind it, because the camera compensates for all the other brightness.

Of all of them, I'm diggin' on the first one on page two. With the proper cropping (eliminating so much sky) it would be cool. I like the cool blue tones.

I don't like the mask. makes it look like you got into a front end colision and haven't painted your front yet. Other than that it looks nice

if i didn't ddo that much freeway driving, i wouldn't put on a bra, but the 100 miles a day on a freeway has been eating up my paint, so to protect it a little better, i put on a bra.

fyi- i do have spacers. if i move the wheels/tires/rims further out, it will start to rub the fender. this is the furtheres i can move it with out rolling the fender.
