Nice! I absolutely love your build. Are you missing your side skirt in the last picture you posted?

So I wasn't too happy with the way the carbon looked coming straight from Chargespeed. It didn't have that black gloss carbon look I was really hoping for. It looked almost grey which made it blend more with my paint than contrast it.

I took everything over to my man Bryson over at WagonWerks (the guys that painted my car) and he made them look exactly the way I wanted. Now they are gloss black carbon and it looks incredible.

Now I just need to do a legitimate photoshoot with my car. Why is it your own stuff is always what gets pushed to the side!

Did it come out of the box looking more like a dry/flat carbon?

No it was gloss. The epoxy/clear they used took some of the contrast out and made it look almost like grey carbon if that makes sense.

I got the chance to get out and play a little tonight. They aren't great but I wanted to try out a new light I got from Amazon.

That last black & white shot looks excellent. It really highlights (no pun intended) your new paint.

Thanks guys. I look forward to trying some more light painting in the future. I already have a couple of ideas that I want to try out.

The last picture looks good but I would edit out the street light above your car. I think because it is pretty much centered that it draws the eye to it instead of the car. I don't know much about this, just some feedback. I may have found my next phone wallpaper with your first light painting picture though.

This is what I see when I drive. Working on new interior shots. This one could have been done better but you get the idea.

Looks awesome, your car is the reason I went with the GTSpec wheel. So sick.

Also - you're missing something. I need to redo it for you -_- it can be better.

Love it because it looks stock and the ux isn't all jacked up like most. I am running an active setup so it really is only a source unit for me.
