Lightbulb Smoky Granite IS-F on a Cloudy Day......

Just some random shots I took about a week ago, before all the rain started here in SoCal.

I'm not the best photographer, but I'm trying..!!

Thanks to Nate for getting my Canon fixed...

Special Thanks to Aerotect for the Frostbite film installed on the hood, front & rear bumpers..
Really gives the F a nice agressive look...

Enjoy

Joe, don't forget to number your pics. My favorite of this group is #6. Looking really good there! Any plans on some window tint down the road?

i personally like the eighth picture (the high shot of all of the F). you can really see the difference that the frostbite has on the car's look. nice pics joe!!

Thanks James... I added #'s...
I have thought about tint, but for me it would be another reason to get pulled over and given "extra" tickets... LoL

I love tint.. But I swore I would never tint 10 years ago on any of my new cars.. So far I have stuck to it..

Nice ride! The matte vinyl really adds a subtle aggressiveness to the front end. Does it go down the middle of the bumper also?

WOw that's an interesting way to use matte vinyl - so subtle!

This only works on the SGM color though - any other would look odd and stick out too much. Why did you do the aerotech film on the fenders?

Thanks Rick.!!

I have seen it used on Black & Ultrasonic Blue..
Looked Great on those colors as well.

The only Aerotect Film on the Fenders is clear & glossy.
