Only thing I would change would be the corner pieces about the front bumper to ditch the reflective strips to give it that full black look.
Although not to sure about your laws over there, might need them?

Haha, thanks. Yeah, they are sorta required, but around here I could get away without them. They're supposed to be lit as well, but I haven't bothered with fixing them.

Been a grip since I updated, just been driving it haha. I did add some fog lights as you'll see in the following:

Borrowed a friend's DSLR, Canon 50d with 50mm lense aka the Fifty-Fifty, and I buggered up the focus on the first try LOL:





And then on the next outing I got the car in focus:


I bet there's a great view of the Milky Way out in the Outback!!

Star of Orion indeed :)

Great shots. What where the setting for the shots?

Aperture, exposure, ISO, etc...
:beer

Yea what TOMSUN said . . .

I take it there was just another car for lighting. Keen to give this one a go myself. Pics look good.

They're composite shots of the night sky, foreground, and car. The technique used to light the car is called lightpainting. All lighting you see is provided by a $10 18 LED flash light. The picture in my signature was done by a cell phone LED light.

As far as EXIF's, the car is around f/6.3, ISO400, and shutter held open for 30 seconds. The sky is f/1.8, ISO2000 or 1600, and shutter held open for 30 seconds.

I see your car is being used to advertise D2's on trademe here in NZ

Doesnt it have a custom coil-over setup though?

dude, you're camera is fucked. All those pictures appear upside down from where i'm sitting. Except the one in your signature.

lol @ the D2 NZ ad

Maybe we need to start asking questions on their auction :P

Yeah I have, I don't believe d2's allow the car to be that low so false advertising.

All depends on how they're installed. How much strut tube you leave behind, and how far this sticks into the coil over is usually the determining factor. My car is pretty low, and could go down another 30mm or so, but would be totally undriveable :-)
