A Slice of Raspberry Cheesecake in the Canyon

WarmAndSCSI · 08-24-2010, 12:18 AM

So here are the "official" shots of our Pearl White + Illusion Violet 370Z. These were taken in Little Cottonwood Canyon in Utah with a Sony point-and-shoot thingy. Minimal photo editing performed... I don't like going overboard any more, it's kind of lame that way.

These shots really show off how dynamic the wheel color is. The car is really hard to shoot because of the color... tends to wash out even if the focus is spot-on. Or I could just be an idiot

Engine bay composite shots

Gotta love matching engine bay accents, am I right?

phelan · 08-24-2010, 12:23 AM

holy, they really do pop out

Jamaica · 08-24-2010, 12:30 AM

Sure do!

370zproject · 08-24-2010, 12:30 AM

nice pop out yes

Boost_lee · 08-24-2010, 12:33 AM

I like the color. Drop the car and it would like even better

WarmAndSCSI · 08-24-2010, 12:37 AM

Thanks much. I think we'll be adding Swift springs and wheel spacers later this Fall, so it should look pretty nice after that.

I fixed the color in the engine bay shots... those were kind of off.

Actually the guy who powder coated these wheels and engine pieces is rocking some bright *ss wheels on his G35 as well:

He honestly does some amazing work. I've got some fine examples on all 3 of my cars actually.

Well, the Galant was able to be considered a car a few months ago, not so much any more. She will live again!

Looks more like a bowl of rice.

Actually this is not bad at all.

Props for doing something different and +1 on the drop.

Zing!

I'm currently battling my wife on the drop springs since it's her car and it's already hard enough as-is with the stupid dips in Utah. If only she'd trust me when I say the dynamic ride height of mild drop springs is about the same dynamic ride height as stock due to the reduced loaded compression of the higher rate springs *sighs*

It's actually peeling 3M Di-Noc simulated dry CF wrap. W00t!

I wish I could have had kenchan do my fang wrap. He's pro with that stuff.
