Default help with choosing a part of the car.. photo gurus help..

So, I was chosen for a photo shoot by some co-workers.. I'm getting a bunch of shots done, but for one of the shots they need a "beauty" shot.. they asked me to pick a part of the car that I think stands out or is the best part of the car.. I say a rear shot but Im still undecided, any help or suggestions.. what part of your IS would you choose??

i choose front because your rear isnt aggressive enough to me, in my opinion, i feel like your exhaust is lost within the ings rear. and i feel the front of your car is cleaner.

These two are the best for our cars. There is too much sheet metal around the C pillars for the side to look nice, shooting front from above makes the hood look long, making the car look meaner, and lastly the rear bumper is pretty thick on our car, so shooting rear from above just amplifies that.

Since you have to pick one though, go with the rear shot from below. This is because our cars almost look like they have a wide body from the factory when shot from below.

I was pretty sure about doing the rear... But I couldn't get my rear fenders flared out, in time for the shoot is in wens. but thanks for all the opinions. I might just let the photographer take different pics and have them choose..
