Default I finally decided to get out of bed...

Elaborating upon the title of this thread, I found myself in bed this morning, bored as can be, watching countless car videos on YouTube like any other day. However, this afternoon appeared to be the day that I'd venture outside the confines of my house and do something at least decently productive. Sooo in that regard, I share with y'all some of the pictures I decided to take today. That'd be great if y'all tell me what you think!

New Garax 8000K I just installed

Sorry if quality isn't too hot, pictures were taken on a 6-7 year old camera..

That is some tight pictures you took of your car. Man, even with that old camera, the pictures still turned out great. Mad props for you for doing something productive. You got some really nice clean shots of your car.

Although, I bet it would have been better if the sun was out.

I really liked the rear pics, but when I saw the sides I was like "he needs better wheels." I'm not a fan of the murdered out look. Just my opinion. Nice job getting out of bed.

And I guess that's where "To each their own" comes into play. The only reason I decided to go with the all black look is that 80% of Black Onyx/Obsidian IS's have chrome wheels... Nothing against the chrome, it looks nice, classy even, but I enjoy variety.

@ my1s250 Thanks! My friend and I were going ~130mph on a tollroad when his flew off is G35 coupe, only to be run over by another friends' Mustang GT who was catching up to us at ~145mph. How it stayed intact? I have noooo clue hahaha, but then it again, it was some cheap, fake CF roof spoiler.
Nice photoshoot. Definetly has that mean track look
@Hoovey2411 Thanks man! Should look a little more aggressive with a front lip soon

I like the full black effect, but it may seem to cause an issue. Couldn't pass inspection a couple days ago due to the tails and my 5% tint-___-

Those are some sick pictures! I'd love to go photo shooting with Samantha (my IS350), but she is bone stock. Won't create much excitement.

It's all good, go anyway! I have a ton of pictures of when my IS was stock that I took where I live (Country town in Texas, lot of nice old building/warehouse/trainyards for backdrop) and I love comparing how LEXTSY (my is350) looks like now as opposed to how she looked completely OEM. I would say you should definitely go for it!
