wow you guys are fast so yeah seems like couple of you have seen eric's work before huh? i saw his work on the 2is and 3gs and i already went wow and wow... showed the pics to my wife and she love it too. talked to eric several times offline and i guess the rest was history

although i am sure no matter what i do i can't learn those photography skills, but i do noticed one thing that day -- the final pics look good, but the process to get there, the time spent, and the number of "random" pics taken? insane

The pictures came out great as usual Eric. Glad I could lend a hand. Just give me a holler if you need assistance again. I'll be more than happy to tag along assuming I don't have any prior plans.

Awesome car and, Henry, it was a pleasure meeting you and Ritsa. It was a long time to be stuck inside a parking structure but I hope it was worth every minute.

As for my car in the shoot: I didn't plan on doing anything with the car that day (didn't even wash it). I was just there to help Eric but he wanted to do something different at the end of the shoot. I'm not a fan of multi-car shoots either because it takes away focus from the main subject.

Until next time....

Hey Henry, great pics man; just awesome. Did you paint the grill black, or just shows that way? I removed the 'L' too, but my grill is dark gray, not black. And just noticed the '06 grille has the 'L' built-in (yikes!).

May I ask you about your wheels? Never heard of 'Traffic Star' before. Is it the brand or the model? What size/offset are they, and do they accomodate TPMS sensors? That shows you can buy awesome wheels without having to spend a fortune on name brands. Or maybe it's an expensive brand as well??? I'd like a nice set of wheels, but don't want to spend a fortune. Take care.

hey man, i have to apologize, i am very bad on name. i was talking to ling about who he knows from clublexus, he said all he knows are is300 owners!!!! and i couldn't remember your name @_@ so what's the deal here i was almost sure he knows you!!!! and thanks man. indeed, the pic you like most, that's our (me and my wife) fav pic of all too!!!!!! talk about classy!!!

jc, actually i just took off the L that's all. they are all still gray / silver, no change at all. i guess it's just the angle and the lighting

trafficstar are jdm wheels. made by riverside. you might have heard of maya here in the US? riverside made the same wheels for them as well, when they came to the US they are badged as maya. but i prefer jdm version so i got the trafficstar in japan and shipped them over.

the front is 20x9 +30 with 255/35/20 and the rear is 20x10.5 +29 with 285/30/20. they don't accomodate the tps, so i just took them off and unplug the system. so far works is the only company i know with tps ready.

and yup, you are right about the price. in fact the wheels are NOT expensive at all. by that i mean compared to my hre wheels. these are much cheaper and i think they are just as good. i have trafficstar on both my gs400 and sc430, and both cars are our daily drivers. never a problem and going good so far.

with one car (gs400), i could afford to pay more, but with two cars (gs400 and sc430), i have to go cheap, lol

seriously ling, without your help i don't think we could have done it and it was always nice checking out your car. next time i'd like to sit in it and feel the speed. after dinner we got on the freeway, you sped so fast i couldn't even see your taillights

Hahaha, I always get is300.net and CL confused. Yes, I did forget to mention I know Seize. Doh! Small world.

My car is just aiiite. A little more torque than the SC but my interior is just plain Jane, nowhere as luxurious as the one in your car.

Phenomenal photos Eric. You need to do my car one of these days!

Henry, you should have him do the GS too.
