Canon 5D MKIII

It's never really "done". And I hope to be able to play with more in the spring time if I can get the door panels off without breaking stuff.

Thanks, and I am. Automotive photography is actually my side business :). Those pics were shot on a whim in about a 15 min window behind a JC Penney down the street from my house.

thanks guys. I think Im towards the end of the modifying. I know I want to do wheels and summer tires before spring time so I can put these up and away for next winter. I will be powder coating them next summer though and getting the plastidip off.

and i got to test the AWD with snow tires this week. Upside is its a beast and claws its way through the garbage. Downside is the lip is like a snow plow in snow over 4" deep and...well lets hope I dont need to drive in deep snow the rest of the year. but the mudguards did a good job...

this was a random purchase one night, not sure how it would look or if it would match at all. Its a carbon fiber roof spoiler. Luckily the pattern and color is damn near the same as the spoiler and mirror covers. I know it probably does nothing but hurt airflow on the car, but seriously this car...

before winter hit I wanted to get a few new pictures of the car since I hadn't taken any since the first month I got it.

found this stuff called 7D carbon wrap. Ive always been skeptical but read good reviews on this stuff and it was cheap on amazon and it is nice. Stretches nicely with heat and doesn't distort the pattern. And the actual look is best Ive seen yet on vinyl wrap. So I decided to do the center...

thanks, I think...Most people can walk up to the car and tell there is something done to it but not sure what. The most obvious are tints and tail lights. Most car guys will notice it lowered but outside of the that the rest doesn't really stand out. Which is definitely my style, I'm not a...

picked up some paint and F sport decals for the calipers like they offer from the dealer now. I got 2 coats on the front calipers before we got a freak snow storm like a month ago and I didn't get the stickers on or the rears done so gotta hold off till spring time.

next up on the lighting was to replace the headlights. I went with OSRAM night breakers. While they are brighter then the stock bulbs, they are a little warmer in temp then I was hoping. But at least not real yellow. stock bulb on the left OSRAM on right. You can see the output is greater...

going back to the lighting thing, after I tinted the tail lights the reverse lights were obviously dimmer and now even more yellowish. So i decided white LEDs were to replace them. They not only look way better but they are useful.

i found a carbon inlay for the rear emblem to make it look closer to the front emblem with the black background and black chrome surround.

So my dilemma here was, do I take the spacers off for 5-6 months of the year or can I do something else? My previous car had a similar issue with wide front tires and I got a set of OEM molded mud guards. After some searching there is a molded mud guard that Lexus make but again only available...

in october I had a tire start to come apart so knowing winter was coming soon I went right in and got a set of continental Contiwinter contacts installed. they seem good especially after being able to finally test them out this week. But man they used all the lube to install these things and had...
