Last of the outside mods are complete on this one now after I paint matched the edges of my sideskirt extensions + rear spats, installed a Wald style spoiler and chucked in some Vland V1 tail lights. Time to put the tools down and enjoy driving it 👻

Yep, I had a Matador Red facelift one originally, and still have the Ultrasonic Blue one. Had a number of IS350s too. This is my IG link which shows all of them: https://www.instagram.com/lexus.trilogy/

Showing the USB IS-F some love. My white one has stolen the limelight lately, but this one gets driven equally as much 😇💙

Can you teach me how to produce pictures of the quality? I have a Nikon D7000, that I haven't learned how to properly use yet.

These were taken on my iphone 11 with some slight edits through the camera/photos app. Not the best quality but the golden hour sunset definitely helped with the lighting. If I were to take this photo into photoshop, I'd mask out the car and adjust the curves/levels/hues/etc. Maybe even add a light gausian blur to the background to give the photo more depth.

As for taking photos with your Nikon D7000, I haven't dabbled in digital SLR photography in years, but it all comes down to lighting and which lens you're using. Take a look at your light meter and see where your subject lands and do a couple of test shots. From there you can play around with your Aperture (how much light you let in), Shutter Speed (length of your exposure) and ISO (film speed). Here's a good reference explaining how each of those three work (article: https://www.slrlounge.com/iso-apertu...for-beginners/)

The real trick - put your camera in manual mode, and don't take it off for a couple of months.
Commit to learning about ISO, shutter speed, aperture settings and white balance.
Then take a lot of photos and experiment like crazy.
