Default New Pics: Happy 4th to All!

I thought I'd share some pics I recently took in one of the cities I call home, Lost Wages, I mean Las Vegas. Even if you don't enjoy the car, I hope you at least enjoy the background scenery. For those of you who have seen my car in person or in pictures, let's see if you notice the changes since I last posted pics.

Sorry for the poor picture quality as I only had my Blackberry at the time.

Bellagio on the left, Caesars in the background on right, and Paris in right foreground







Some shots from top floor of New York, New York parking garage



notice the M3...


the only night shot that came out decent enough to post

lol...there will always be chrome haters out there...to each is own...hope you at least liked the backdrop in the shots

...as for the tips, they stick out a bit because I plan to soon get the Wald rear apron which sticks out a bit further than the OEM rear apron, so when these were welded on I had the guy make them stick out a little bit more than what would be normal for the OEM lip. It really doesn't look that bad right now in person when you look at it. Once the Wald lip is on, it should look more flush and clean. If not, I'll have it fixed since that's a piece of cake.

This weekend the US will celebrate our independence from Great Britain on July 4, 1776. I'm no history buff, but I hope I got the year right...if not, other members will correct me.

Yeah, once I get the L-emblem for the front, it will complete the look for the front end...until I decide to change the front lip.

wow clean!! Metador red can only pull off all the chromes you got going on. Especially the wheels, makes it stand out even better. But quick question, how come your exhuast sticks out so much????

because I plan to get the Wald rear like you got...correct me if my eyes are playing tricks on me but doesn't that Wald rear lip stick out further back from the car than the stock one? I think it does, so when I put these Magnaflow tips on, I planned ahead for that future mod by making them stick out a bit on the OEM lip! I hope that explanation makes sense to you.
