Default Photoshoot | San Francisco | MRM IS250

Went up to San Francisco for a photoshoot Friday ... Photos were taken with my D5000 and slightly touched up in lightroom.

Locations: Twin Peaks (Foggy that morning so no city view ), Treasure Island, Golden Gate Park, Highway 1 / Ocean Beach

All/any comments and/or feedback welcome - hope you guys enjoy the photos!


TWO of my friends' just pick up FRS'!!














And because I'm the photographer... my friend has to drive my car

Rolling shots!:

What are your wheel/tire specs? I'm on H&R springs too and think your setup is perfect.

Car looks great and your pics are even better. Very nice! Love the caliper color, the nearly color matched lugs, blacked out grill and surround and roof spoiler. Car looks great! Always love MRM..... So sexy!

Thanks! Lugs used to be darker and match almost spot on ... but they are fading. I'll eventually pick up a new set. Maybe a different brand this time.

haha Thanks Jared... visor-less look is starting to grow on me. And yeah, AVS visors start warping after a while, they are much lower quality then JDM ones (Thinner).

Stevens Creek toyota/scion. They were great - took 1k deposit and 6-8 weeks later delivered the cars in the EXACT specs my friends wanted. My friend with the blue FRS got his with literally ZERO options, not even floor mats! He paid exactly the base price as listed. Other dealerships tried to add on paint protection/mats/leather seats/sub/other accessories.

19x8.5 +30 Michelin PSS 235/35/19
19x9.5+33 Michelin PSS 265/30/19

Front is rubbing bumper tab due to the PSS having a very square sidewall. It didn't rub with PS2's of the same size. I'd go 225/35/19 if running PSS. (Also note - 225/35/19 is also the correct size if you want the speedometer to be accurate. It reads 3% higher with the 235/35 tire)

Nice pics Raj. I like the rolling one on the other side of Ocean Beach near Lake Merced and the close up of the wheel rolling. Getting pretty good. Yes, that's a newbie move not thinking there wouldn't be any fog. Lol
