Personally, I enjoy looking at them. Keep up the nice work, pal.

Thank you...You did not offend me at all. I was just asking why dont you take some different style photographs or hire a Pro photographer to get Sick pictures of your car... I mean you have a Sick car so you have to get SICK pictures right ?

CAK500 - I CAN NOT ignore any thread on the 3GS forums lol...

I parked my car in the middle of a highway to get these shots. Thats why the yellow signal lights were caught in some of the shots. I had to leave my hazzard lights on just in case. I love these desert back roads. Great for speeding AND photos

I can't imagine living in a place where you could park your car in the middle of the highway that long.
I like the highway shots.

I was thinking the same thing. But I've read stats that there are over 4 million miles of road in the US and much of has hardly any traffic at all.

I think you should post more pics of your car, cause your efforts are highly appreciated! Especially those who use your gorgeous shots as their PC background!

I love you car, but I suggest you modify it for the next shoot, coz they are all the same.

I personally love the pics, car, backrounds and effects (the Zaino pic is CLEAN)! You are right about using posts like these to inspire some of us (like me) to mod our cars. In fact, I chose TSW's as well after seeing them on this car and getting his advice on fitment. Thanks for the help! Keep the shots coming!

Hey Tammer, love the pics as usual. I might be biased but I love the background shots you use and I know it takes work to get some of those pics. Great job buddy If they want to see something different next time we should do a photo shoot together. You need to bring your ride out to some of the meets so we can appreciate it even more in person.

I hope you don't mind but I included some more pics of our wonderful "HOT" state (oh and my car just happened to be in them)

Good stuff I8ABMR. If I was near an empty road like that, I'd be flooring it back and forth all day

First off, beautiful shots, beautiful scenery, and beautiful car.

I believe many of the shots can be better if you use photography compositions and stuff correctly.

As usual you are right Henry. You have always known your Lexus stuff amazingly well. It goes WAY beyond just fog lights. I have said it before and I will say it again, you are a Lexus Guru

Thanks buddy. Its kind of crazy how empty these desert edges can be. with the crash of the realestate market here in AZ there are many highways going out to open areas that were supposed to be developed but never did. Its awesome if you can find twisty roads. I used to do night time drifting in my G35 sedan often ( more often than I would like to admit)

I appreciate it. You have always been really cool about my repeated picture posting. Thanks buddy

No problem man. I am glad you went with the TSWs. They are a decent wheel that wont break the bank and look pretty damn nice imho. as far as helping to inspire , I remember when I first started on this forum and was blown away by the mods and the bravery in modifying a brand new 50k luxury car( that I promised my wife I would not touch). There were many members like ROMINL and others who really new their stuff and gave sound advice as well as inspiring the desire to mod this beautiful car

Your car is probably one of the nicest GS I have seen in AZ.....or LA for that matter. You did a great job on the car and the guts to go the extra step and do the kit really shows. Did you ever get the side skirts trimmed so the car could be lifted. Doug told me that there was some issue with the kit and lifting the car for service. I just had my baby girl 2 weeks ago and my Dad is out of the ICU after 6 months ( yes 6 months in the ICU...... lung cancer is no joke) so things will be settling down very soon. I promise to get together soon and have lunch and take some shots. Maybe we can head out to some of these remote areas.


Damn Ron I cant believe how awesome your car looks with the wheels and that kit.

The road surface is pretty stippled up so the vibration with a 30 profile tire and 42 psi will bruise your kidneys. There is a road out here called the 303 that I refer to as the AZ autobahn. I can frequently hit 120-130 on the way home and hold it there for 3-4 minutes with no cars in sight. Pretty crazy

LOL. I was hoping that the hazzard lights would get their attention. It was so quiet out there that I would be able to hear a car coming from a pretty decent distance.

You are probably right, but I am doing my best. I would love to take some formal photography classes but I dont have time with a new baby and patients ALL day long. I think the shots are decent considering they are shot with a standard digital camera by a guy who has no formal training. Just some interest in cars and photography. Maybe one day I will get hardcore and get one of those DSLR cameras. Christmas is only 5 months away
