Default LS photo shoot

First I would like to say that the LS forums are great I've only had my car for a few months and have used about 5 DIY's from this forum. My friend took some pictures of my LS and I thought the right thing to do would is share with my fellow members

Yes sir. I thought it was a great deal considering all the mods it had. The car did need some TLC on the paint. It took me about 8 hours on a full detail to make her shine

Very nice! Tastefully done, love the aftermarket tails. The black paint is really shining. I'm having trouble making me flint mica shine like that (I see a lot of swirl marks and such). Is that your WRX as well? If so that is an insane stance you have on the thing.

No I wish that was my WRX that things a beast! The black paint is a pain but when it's clean and swirl free it looks sooo good. Thanks for all the comments

agree on the black paint comment. Taking a random orbital polisher to my car every 6 months is alot of work to make her look beautiful, but man... that flawless reflection tugs at my heart strings

BTW, great photos and great LS. What camera was used for the pics?
