Also a quick picture from my "photoshoot" after the meet. I still have other shots to edit, but this is my favorite one thus far

Love the car, awesome work.
As for the camera work where did you learn your skills? My wife and I are getting into photography as a hobby and I'm looking for tips on how to shoot cars, any suggestions?

Went to the C&O in December and missed you but saw the car. So clean! My friends didn't know why I was so fascinated w/ it. Looks just as good in person as in the photos. Kicking myself for sleeping in on Sunday. Alot of nice cars this month.

Thanks a lot man! And I've always enjoyed photography, and admired automotive photography online and in print magazines for some time, so once I got a camera and a car, I just started experimenting with various angles, lighting, and locations to see what works, what styles I like, and things of that nature. I also have 3 photography app folders on my iphone, so I mess around with that a lot too, which allows me to experiment more than with Adobe Lightroom, which is what I use to edit my DSLR stuff. Just take your car, find a neat backdrop, and snap away. You'll learn quickly how lighting affects the car/shot. Just experiment, and have fun with it, that's the best advice I can give. My style has changed a lot over the years, and I am no pro, by any stretch. I just have a nice camera, Canon 60D, and a good eye; the camera and editing software make everything look good, lol.

Well I've been going almost every month, so maybe next time! And I appreciate the kind words! It's not perfect by any means, but I love the car a lot, its fun and an attention grabber, for sure, haha

This thing is lovely. What lens(es) are you using?

Hate that body kit. Love the 2JZ. That car was on eBay for like $30 grand putting down like 800-900hp at the wheels. If I ever had the money to do a swap or boost mine it would be fun
or just drop a Vette motor in it... haha

Such a good looking car.
Thanks, Joe!
It got a little less looking today thanks to a high curb while trying to park in a crappy spot...

Thanks man! And I still only have the 18-135mm kit lens so far, it's just so versatile. Looking into a wide-angle and possible a 50mm, though!

the only thing that engine bay needs is a nice shiney snail

That scuff is easily repaired. Still looks sexy regardless, although a nice intercooler and turbo would really help it out.

I also love that car. Such a great design. Even in it's age, it's a sexy vehicle. With all these "you gotta do that" and "all it needs is this" posts, everyone missed the biggest flaw: (and in my best Hank Hill voice) Damnit Bobby! It's an automatic.

I don't really see all the hate with automatic transmissions....

Just a fun sporty car with an auto never appealed to me is all.

lol, I know I know, I'd love to boost it eventually! If all works out, I plan on keeping this one for a while, so it might see boost in its future! And I plan on having the front lip re-sprayed and 3M vinyl'd to keep it from getting so many road chips.... it has about 100 now, at least it seems... here's my temporary scuff fix... lol

Dammit Bobby! And I know, Lexus stopped making these cars with a 5-Speed in 1997, and even that year they only made about 120 of them. So 98-2000 were all autos. Trust me, I;d like it to be a stick to, but for my DD and everything, the auto works fine for me

Oh well, I guess I can't please everyone, haha
And just for fun, the SouthrnFresh guys caught me leaving the last meet! And don't worry about the hail damage on the hood, I've got a "new" hood that'll get sprayed and installed come Spring time

Looking good!
PDR can't take care of current hood?

There are about a dozen or more dents/dings, all various depths. The estimate to fix the hood was about $500 and it still wouldn't be perfect, so yeah, new hood it is! Got a used one for free! It's not perfect, but should fit the bill after a little work!

I just can't get over how clean this car really is. I really really like where this is going minus the sticker on the front lip, but I know thats a temp fix haha. It seems like everything just flows together very well with the car.
I have found my lip kit, and hood I want to put on the mustang, but my biggest hold up is what freakin wheels I want to run.

Yeah, the sticker was just a joke, but I honestly like looking at that more than the big scuff, that thing just made me sad... the lip is going to see fresh paint and I plan on 3M vinyl wrapping it, seeing that the 100's of road chips are just insane. lol

Yeah it really sucks, I might do the same thing once I get my lip kit and front bumper repainted.

Please keep the pics coming. This is a beautiful car and I love what you've done with it. The winter months are the worst. Having some eye candy like this definitely helps alleviate the itch for spring.
