My 08 AW... first pics 2 weeks old & Friends GTI

Dark_Sub_Rosa · 08-09-2008, 04:15 PM

Went out today and snapped some pics of my car... I know I need reflectors and bulbs. I got tint and lip done first week so I'll be ordering more stuff soon.

Nice pics mann

RMA · 08-09-2008, 04:19 PM

Cars look awesome together

I see you have the aero lip. How was the install? I will be doing this very shortly.

ALPINE6SPD · 08-09-2008, 04:22 PM

Cool Pics. The Gti In White Is Also The Best Color Available

I was wondering too

Dark_Sub_Rosa · 08-09-2008, 11:54 PM

What do you mean what is going on with the side skirts? The body line is a little hard to see because it was crappy direct sunlight but other than that I dunno what you are talking about.

The camera is a Canon 20D. Pics were used with either my 85mm prime or my 10-22mm.

beautiful cars, nashville pride

LBSsocalsurfer · 08-10-2008, 01:20 AM

Is the 335i lowered? or stock sport package suspension? Looks beautiful!! I love the way the OEM sport package wheels look. IMO.. I'd keep it simple and get painted reflectors and keep it at that... maybe some DiMisa exhaust tips.

Johnny Lin · 08-10-2008, 01:24 AM

Pics and cars look great!

Thanks! I'm just sitting on the stock sport package. I don't plan on doing much exterior wise, I like simple. My last car was an S2k and the outside was pretty stock besides OEM lip and lowered on BBS LMs so I'll be going a similar route with this car.

I barely did much sharpening to them but I guess someone always has to have something negative to say huh? Some I blew the contrast out on purpose too. I haven't snapped pics in a while so I got to just playing around some while I was trying to edit them real quick last night so I could post them. It was also a shitty time of day to shoot since it was middle of the day and direct sunlight. Thanks though.

Prime lenses are really all that super expensive like my 85mm I used. It's not L glass or anything just the standard the 85mm from Canon. The 10-22 isn't an L glass either. As little as I do I can't justify buying the L glass yet but it would be nice. The vignetting on some I added in from the RAW editor in PS. Thanks!

DougLikesBMW · 08-10-2008, 10:55 AM

Hey Dark - I don't think that guy meant to be negative...Looking at the first picture I think he said way too much sharpening because of the jagged looking edges. I think the jagged edges are because the photo needed to be resized (smaller) before posting.

We just joined the V-dubs family too, however our's are all black. Black Merc, Black BMW, Black VW...lol.
