Default 65 degrees F in Dec.! 6 pictures before coilovers.

The weather has been decent the last few days. I detailed the car last night. It took about 6 hours. Here are some pictures from a 15-minute shoot. I didn't feel like bringing my studio flashes. I should have though. That's why the pictures suck. I'll bring the flashes next time. Plus, I don't have my computer to edit them properly. I just used some free software available on the web.

Anyways, the car is currently on Eibach Pro-kit springs w/stock shocks. I will be lowering the car soon on some coilovers. I will have some free time to install them in a few weeks. I will add to the thread after I install them. Expect some more pictures then. Enjoy!

65F? I hate you.



awesome pics though. The external flash probably would have brought up the details better in the pics but still great pics as always! what kind of coilovers are you getting?

How come your temperature is at 85 with the AC on?

Keeping the A/C on keeps the moisture out of the air; prevents windows fogging up.

Car looks great. Personally i like the ride height. Looks almost like an aggressive OEM setup. The OE tips need to go though IMO.

+1 and it makes 2GS's idle smoother. I run my AC almost full time.

You guys are going to hate me. I was in shorts and a t-shirt during the shoot.

There is a chance of snow on Tuesday. Winter weather will be here soon.

+1. I always loved your car b/c it was nicely mildly modded. Yours and "FrankWhite"s GS, just something about it.

Quick question. Do you think HKS mufflers will look good on it? I'm on the fence about it. It might be too aggressive for the car.
