Nice pics. What color is your car? It looks purple in some pics? Is it a custome paint job where it changes depending on the lighting?

Guys, thanks for comments. My car color is smoky granite mica. I think because of the lighting, the color of the car came out WEIRD!!! or just maybe my photophraphy skill sucks

Yeah, it need the front lip for sure. Time for me to do some savings

^^^ I think it might be the camera. Looking at the first pic the second time, the clouds looks like it has an exposure effect. Maybe you need to check the setting adjustment on the camera but don't take my word on it.

I like the purple-ish effect though.

Thanks for all the compliments. Those wheels are 5zigen sport engine. I actually prep the car before taking those pics. Wash, clay and wax. The wax I used was Chemical Guys 5050 paste wax. It is an excellent wax. It gave the car more reflection and depth.
