    sick. Damn man after seeing those pics it made me want to sell my car and get a evo. I could tell right away just by looking at the kind of tires on that evo in the first photo that this person drives the car how they were meant to be driven.

    To be honest though i think your photos look better then that "professional photographer" but in the end it's all taste. I don't think there is a wrong or right photo it's all what the artist aka photographer wants to capture.

    All and all excellent work. That Greddy Catback came out looking fantastic! Along with the rest of the whip.

    Thanks! The evo is definitely a great platform to build on. Easy to work on, very fun to drive, and imo looks great. This evo belongs to a friend of mine and he does track and drive it the way it's supposed to. Now I just have to catch up to him in modding:thud:

    Nice work! How do you like working with the Griots DA? I agree, grey does leave nice reflections when done right.

    BrendanS Welcome to Detailing

    Thanks! Yeah the reflections were very crisp after paint correction and Powerlock.
    They definitely did. NT03+Ms aren't the easiest to work with lol
    Thanks! I love it so far, great power and seems to be a solid platform.
