And the gold chains...and hamburger coming out of the front of the shirt...and the small...well...anyway...

LOL!

Dang, that's a lot of S550s at that C&C.

Yep lol. Not one S197 either which was weird.

Dude, why you got to park in the middle of the road like a asshole? Lol jk Trevor.

Good pictures, I see you toned down with the PS editing on these. We're all those taken with a 2.0 f stop?

Lol! I know, fuck me right?

Yeah man, I just did a simple clean and tone in Lightroom for these. Nothing crazy. The majority of them were either f2.0 or 2.8 . A few were 4.0 with a 5.6 in there. Was really fun playing with it today.

Awesome, nothing against moderate PS editing but I love to see clean, lightly corrected photographs in the overly saturated heavy PS editing photography world we have today. You learn to correct alot with the camera while photographing rather than really messing with the image in post processing. You did a good job capturing the color of the car on these.

Thanks man! Yeah, I was a lot more involved with the camera in this round.

I'm not sure which mode you were in but give Manual a shot. You can really dictate how your images look, and you really see how ISO, exposure, and aperture really effect one another.

I was in Aperture Priority for pretty much all of them with ISO set to 100. I've bounced back and forth with manual though. The only thing I can't quite get accustomed to yet is the shutter speed.

Your car looks damn good. Nice collection of cars at CC.

Thanks man! Been stepping up my photo game lately I guess lol. Four months ago I was shooting on auto. Still have a lot to learn though.

Picked up a set of these from Hornblasters Monday.

Started the install last night and everything has went well so far. Going to finish up the rest tonight, or Friday night.

That is going to make things interesting. Looking forward to seeing how the install finishes.

Thanks man! I just finished.

Finished up my Train Horn install tonight!

I honestly feel like a five year old who was just handed an air horn lol. This is probably one of my more fun and favorite mods I've done yet.

Here's the just of what it all looks like,

Also had a change to install some Dynamat Extreme that I bought over the Winter. It really made a huge difference in quieting down the vibration and sound from the compressors.

Annnnd, the video

That's awesome!

As one that uses the horn about as much as the middle finger while I'm driving, I've felt the need for a train horn MANY times

Right? It's been awesome lol. I can't wait for someone to cut me off or pull out in front of me bahaha.

Got a few things done tonight. Finally installed my Steeda Clutch Spring. I've been rocking it without a spring all together since I bought the car, so I'm anxious to see how this feels tomorrow. With the old stock spring out, it was literally a 30 second job to install the new one.
