Default Thought I'd join the picture club too - Pearl SC3 (56K stay away!)

Managed to borrow a real nice digicam from my best buddy, and I did all the color correction and etc. in Photoshop. You'll notice that my new sig sports the same pics too.

Although, I was a bit of an idiot during the photo shoot because I forgot to take pics of the engine bay.

Oh well. There's always next time! Enjoy.

(My Arceo Megastar 19x8 wheels aren't on cause they're for sale!)

It's nice to see a clean example of a vehicle every now and then. These were great cars just as a blank slate...... i mean........... we bought them right?

Nice SC. I've always loved PDW. But there's no way that you've got a 1" drop going on, that drop looks at least double.

LOL. Agreed, beautiful. Although that actaully is the 1" drop. Looks very dramatic with stock rims. Needs new shoes with lower profile tires.

Nicly composed picture (first one). If you include the top right corner of the hood lid you will get a more dramatic effect.

I've been questioning the 1-inch drop myself. It looks a bit bigger, even when I had the 19-inch wheels on it. I guess the only real way to tell would be to check side-by-side of a stock SC3, or have someone measure the distance from the ground at some particular point or two, then let me know what it is...

And TRD_power, you need the front plate in California too.

I just don't like to run it, cause it looks like ***. On my last car, when I lived in Seattle, I went without a front license plate for quite a while. The only thing that caused me to get busted was an overly ambitious parking meter maid.

Thanks for the compliments, all.
