What do you use for lighting? I love your setup.

Winter stance?

Gonna raise it back up after the weekend. Layed frame so hard that I stalled while leaving an Autozone lot

No tire rubbing, though...





Also a crappy picture of the car sliding around...

Amen. If I slammed my car, my daily 65mi round trip would not only be more hell than it is, but would also shred my tires and destroy my subframe on these damn freeways.

This my 97 318i,still in progress.

tell me where i have to go and pay me the gas. i drove all the way to MD with my ride height.... 300miles.

Just depends on the roads boys. On the way up to BFE there were three overpasses under construction on I95 in VA where I bottomed and I've got 4 inches between road and subframe. Probably would've popped the airbags for Franklyn and/or CJ.

just go fast and pray!

thats what i do....

just kidding

This. Despite the outrageous amount of taxes that "go to public works," none of it goes to road work. I shred my sidewalks about 2 times a trip going 65 on the freeways here, and I'm only lowered 1.5"..

You and I hit a couple of eye-openers around Baltimore, too....but you had 290 more pounds in the car then.

Those were just some fender rub humps. The 3 in VA were actual x-brace hit the pavement with just me in the car class..

i bottomed out two times on the way to bfest.


doesnt matter though. i like when that happens.... just means that im low enough.

Not as much fun when you have a nice exhaust...

its just bits of metal. just replace it as it goes bye bye.

Fixed.

If you can make a supersprint catback from bits of metal... then I think you could have a pretty good business.

Welcome! That's a gorgeous car. Is it Fern Green or some manner of blue? Hard to tell from pics...

Good bye salt

I appreciate it! It's been dozens of trial shoots and hundreds of hours of editing to get a technique down. I light it with a combination of 3 lights and a wireless flash for exterior shots to get all the different highlights and all. 1 of the lights (the most noticeable strip of light that highlights the shoulders and window of the car is a custom light I've developed [still under development and fine tuning])

There wasn't a solution on the market with everything I need in a "strip light" I wanted it bright and even light, no more than 3 lbs, long battery life, easy to maintain, cheap to build and quality. I've made about 5 versions as of now and pretty much got it down!

Here's the fallout of the latest prototype of the light (Pitch black room, no editing) It provides a narrow spill that is intense in the center with a soft fallout.
