What’s next on the list?
thanks. the next thing i'm going to do is replace the stock speakers and install my ipod. i've been thinking about auto couture bumpers, but it's pretty hard to justify the expense. so i'm leaning towards sticking with stock.

thanks. i was surprised how well it works. i've used a lot more expensive waxes in the past with nowhere near the results.

thanks. personally, i feel like 5-spoke and spiderweb wheels get lost on the sc430. it's a bit of a chunky car. it needs a little more meat on its shoes

Looks good, I think a couple of them could have been helped by some HDR action. Clean SC.

thanks. if i knew what HDR stood for, i might have given them more HDR action. but sadly, i don't what that means. so they probably won't get any HDR action anytime soon

Your car looks fantastic HDR stands for High Dynamic Range Imaging.... it's a photography-thing....

Is it the photo angle, or is your rear-corner reflector orange and red??

thanks. i know what it is. i haven't shot seriously for almost 10 years. so some of the terms slip my mind the only problem with that is you have to use a tripod and bracket your shots. which can be a little restrictive in the angles you can shoot. but it's a cool effect.

the rear reflector is red. the light was catching them in the shots and they were a bit distracting, so i darkened them in photoshop.

they're nitto nt-555. they wouldn't have been my first choice. but i was in a tough spot and they were the only tires in stock in my size. at first, i wasn't impressed with them. but after about 500 miles of break in, they've performed pretty well. the sizes are 235/35ZR20 & 275/30ZR20.

I think it's cool that you pressure washed the pavement to get it the same color as your car before taking the pictures.

what can i say, i'm a perfectionist

the texture in the pavement is kinda cool. lucky it wasn't the standard flat concrete.
