Just wanted to share my feature with you guys that was supposed to have been completed like last September lol. V2LAB is a blog that mainly focuses on cars but they cover other things such as fashion and comics. It's different than a lot of the other car blogs out there and they have a really great forum. Everyone knows each other and their community is like a small family. Probably one of the best forums I've visited second to ours ;) Anyway, here are the pics that my friend Anh took and you can check out the full feature with the text here: http://v2lab.com/?p=1245

Yeah, he takes great pictures. I want a more luxurious styled wheel, something that plays on the car's less aggressive lines. I also need the cash to pay for tuition but I might be getting approved for some additional financial aide so I won't need the cash! If I could have it my way, I'd get something different though for sure

What kind of wheels (style)? I have gotten a lot of practice taking pics of my car, quite a few of them look professional and look like that. I like taking pics regardless though lol :D! Hope you get the fin-aid, I know what you went through for those wheels ;)!

Nice man! I've been trying to pick up photography also. Your car would be great for photography practice. It's clean (literally as well) and has a nice drop. I'm a little steered away from shooting my own car simply because its black and it reflects everything. I'd probably get too frustrated haha.

But thanks for the kind words. I'm not looking forward to letting them go but if I do I at least want another set so that I don't feel like everything from last March - August went to waste. I'm looking towards something from WEDs or maybe even another set of Work wheels. SSRs would be nice too. A lot of things sound appealing lol. But probably WEDs or a less sporty line of Works

Closest to hellaflush that I like. Alex, you are right on the tip of the needle with this setup, looks great, never noticed that lip before...

Those wheels can probably pay for a whole semester/quarter tuition :chuckle:

Those were from a different photographer. We were supposed to use his shoots for the feature but he didn't like the way they turned out. I never even got to see them.

Thanks man. That's what I was going for, a subtle but complete stance. The price that I bought them for is about the same as tuition but I'll be lucky to get like 60% of my cost. There's no market for them in these specs outside of Altimas, ISX50s and TLs/TSXs

Hey Alex. Did your car come with that spoiler already installed? Or did you install if after? Do you have the third brake light in the window as well as on the spoiler? I'm thinking about installing a flush spoiler like that to add a little character to the rear of the car.

Something like this. http://www.carid.com/universal-spoilers ... 05981.html

Just kidding. I want almost the exact same one you've got, but I want to know if you removed the plastic housing from the car where the third brake light usually resides. Thanks.

Thanks for the complement, I've worked pretty hard to get it to this point :). I understand how hard it is to keep a car real clean and appreciate it, especially a black one ;) !
Here is one of my favorites to show yah (no intension to thread-jack), I love it for the reflection I got as thats what made the pic IMO :gapteeth: !

There were alot more than the two that you've probably seen around. But the photographer only gave me two because he didn't like the rest =/

Its a 2010+ oem spoiler and yeah I have the 3rd light. I'm actually looking for another black coupe to trade trunks with. I'm tired of this spoiler lol
