Re: before and after

i honestly dont see a dam difference. the bugs are gone from the front bumper. and yes ur rear is lower than ur front making ur car look very awkward....by the way ur rims are nice.

Re: before and after

Nice car bro. Got something heavy up in the trunk? Perhaps a sound system?

Re: before and after

the $$$ is always an issue... make sure when you drop that you compensate for that sound system or your rear will be sagging worse

hmm.... 6mp... hmm.. 6mp should make ur car look amazing. mess with the settings some more. like turn everything to the best quality you can get it to.

also were u holding by hand? or were u using a tripod?

like heres my car with my buddies 6mp w/tripod and good settings


my 3.2 mp w/o tripod


just play with the settings a little more. Try a twilight pic for your SSM civic. should look amazing with the right lighting. I think its the broad daylight, thats killing the quality of ur pics.
