Looks great! i think the nismo rear would set it off

SPOHN · 08-31-2011, 07:29 PM

Nice pics

The car looks great! I'd like to see it a LITTLE lower. You could go a bit lower without compromising functionality.

Did you want a critique on the photos, as well?

NFSZ86 · 08-31-2011, 07:55 PM

Nice car just more pics want a rim close up lol

Kingbaby · 08-31-2011, 08:09 PM

Ya im thinking of either going powertrix or KW coils just to bring the rear a little more low. The front I cant go any lower, I was on h&r's before and hated driving the car that low. Especially now with the nismo lip im scurred to go any lower. Yes please critique the pics, he's my friend so I can give him some ****

Ya I wanted to go 255/40/19 F and 305/35/19 R, but nobody makes a 305/35/19. The only other option was 255/40/19F and 305/30/19R and I just thought the 40F-30R would look weird.

Kingbaby · 08-31-2011, 08:42 PM

what's the specs currently?

I think some coilovers would really set the look off. We've always got good pricing on KW stuff, btw.

The pics looks pretty good. The only thing that really sticks out to me is the lack of dynamic range. Some dodging and burning would really help. Not sure if he's using layer masks, but on at least 1 shot, I can see the masking needs some work. Using layer masks makes this a lot easier. The last thing I'd recommend is not shooting INTO the sun. This will avoid the subject being cast in a nasty shadow. If you're using strobes, the shadow looks cool. Otherwise, don't shoot into the sun unless you're bracketing exposures.

I'm sure that went way over your head unless you're a photo nerd like me lol but your friend might know what I was rambling about

I do really appreciate the feedback and will forward it to my buddy who will prob understand much better. Damn jerk not giving me my dynamic range and layers and such

He did say he wanted to do a night shoot with a flash, so Im assuming that will look cool too. Ill let you know what I decide on the coils. Right now im contempt and just enjoying the car. Thanks again!

Updated with moar pics!

karotZ · 09-04-2011, 07:07 PM

I'm no car nor photo professional - what I can see is the photo with
the factory on the background is too busy, the grass and other stuff
was kinda distracting.

For the Z, looks sick bro. The rims make the brakes tiny though, IMHO.
Complete the look with a BBK, Nismo rear and black glossy roof. Other
than that, looks sick!

Looks good to me. I actually like the factory shots :shrug:
