I did not drill for those today... I will mark the holes and take the lip off when I put my summer tires on, and drill at that point. I will also peel the blue cellophane off the lip's STi badge at that time

He's just being gay bro.

<still looks good though nannity>

I had a feeling that's the response I'd see from you. I should have gotten a replica lip just so you could have bished and moaned and made your posts a bit more interesting

(OEM fitment FTW!)

a little PS work, thought the original was overexposed:

Sweet, Ben, thanks, that does look better

I was in a hurry post-processing the pictures last night (thanks

). What did you do to fix it? I'll see if I can replace my hosted one without breaking all the links

Yeah...stupid, I know, but I figure since I have to take it off again soon, I'll just wait and take the film off then

It keeps the splooge off the STi badge. Once I'm less excited by it I'll peel it off

Thanks man! I know you've been wanting to pick one up for a while too

Looks good Nan, oem fitment is good, but so is the replica

Plus as you already know the oem vlimited is very fragile so good luck!

Thanks man. I guess it depends which replica (because some have horrible fitment) but my post about replicas was more a jab at t3h_clap than replica lips

I saw a CF replica at covert747's house yesterday, and damn, it seems like a much more solid piece. The V-limited is definitely more flexible and floppy. But I'm hoping that some of that flex will allow it to survive some scrapes better than something that is solid yet brittle. Who knows

I think I need some wheels to really set my car off and make it look different.

What's that one brand you're always raving about? Rota? I should go check those out... <LOL>

i'm sorry you must have gotten me confused with someone else.

I do know a guy who can help you with some real wheels though if you're interested.

fullerton · 04-22-2007, 11:46 AM

i just adjusted the levels, giving it more dark, moving the grays a bit lighter and the lights a tiny bit lighter... nothing special, just gave it a bit of klasse.

I dunno man, if I search "rota" posts by user "t3h_clap" a whole lot of posts seem to come up

A bit of Klasse eh?

When I post-process in RAW I can adjust the white-balance and exposure... Maybe if I had spent some more time I could have gotten similar results. Regardless, thanks for the PS work, I need to get better at it

You should just paint the stockers a dark color, that would look sick.

**nandanrp** · 04-22-2007, 03:06 PM

I'm excited to switch back to my goldies soon... no aftermarket wheels for me in the near future.

La Mer · 04-22-2007, 03:38 PM
