First shots of 2011

Hello all,

Since the weather was nice I did an initial clay bar and wax job today on the car. Boy was it filthy on the trunk. I will be doing another wax once the weather warms up. I did a few mods this winter which include: OTTP Gen 4 heat exchanger, OTTP dual pass endplate, Option B extra coolant tank for my heat exchanger system, and Cobalt SS turbocharged upper and lower grilles. Anyhow I wanted to get a quick photoshoot in with my winters off despite the fact I hear we are going to get a good amount of snow over the next few days. The location of the shots is a shut down GM dealership right outside of Lapeer, Michigan. As always thanks for looking and feel free to comment. Thanks!

-Nate

Most of the pics make it look dull like the WRX yellow. Nice car though.

Is that the eBay lip spoiler? I like it. Also, this may be a dumb question, but do the TC grilles mount the same was as the SC grilles?

Seems like white balance is off a lot, and some of the crops are off. However the car looks great in them and the angles your shooting the car at are very good.

Got any up-close pics? I was thinking about taking some clay to my car to remove swirl marks. Thing is, my car is already light, so it's not like the swirl marks/scratches would show that much.

Its just the lighting, when I edit the photos to bring out the true color it makes it look weird to I left it mostly unedited. Thanks man.

Yes it is. Like the other guy said the grilles are the same, just swap them right in and your good.

White balance has been a problem with my pictures. I was rushed this time so I didnt get a chance to look into the problem. Thanks for the comments.

Not really but believe me all the rust colored particles and what not will be gone. Its spotless when you get through. The clay bar wont really help with swirls, you will prob need to get those buffed out.
