Your car looks great. That is an interesting color that works.

I am more of a purist and have always thought the S130 looked odd with all the bumpers painted the body's color but yours seems to work. I would be nervous about 26-years of Armor All on the bumpers but I guess the paint people know what they are doing.

Good looking car but great photography too! That building must have just recently been painted because the blue isn't as weathered as the concrete which makes for a great contrast in the background. Good find for a photo shoot! Though your car looks great, your photography is excellent! Do you remember any of your camera settings?

Thanks! That building is actually the side of an IKEA. All of the settings are located on the flickr page for each picture. If you click on one of the pictures in this thread, it will take you to its flickr page. Just scroll down the page and on the right under additional information you will see a link for additional information. Click that and you will see all the camera information.

You can also click the magnifying glass just above the picture to see the full size image and download it.

My wife has the Rebel XTi. I've fiddled around with it a couple times but can never get a shot of my car that I'm entirely happy with. Based on the light available, my car will appear to be anywhere from a gray to a really bright silver. It is the bright silver that I really like but that typically requires a lot of sunlight which then ends up washing out a lot of the details in the car's shape. I will definitely look into your camera settings and see if I can't figure out any tips. You definitely have an artist's eye as well.

I got the wheels about 7 years ago and they are long since discontinued. The closest thing to them would be ADR M-Classics. Also be aware that I am running adapter hubs with them.

The place where I purchase the wheels from had them custom fabricated. I think Modern Motorsports makes 5 lug adapters... They will really open your opporunity to different wheel selections.

Washed the Z today so I went out for a photo shoot. I think this is probably my favorite shot of my Z so far.

Click the image to see additional info on the lighting used on this image.
