Found some spare time tonight and thought i'd put my newly bought tripod to use and make some night shots of my car.

i am a total noob at night shots and just know where to find the night mode in my digicam and if any of you out there know some little tricks, please let me know. I'd appreciate it alot.

for those asking:

color: diamond black
tint: 20% all around
wheels: from group-buy (19's)
and the awesome location? - Publix

Very nice. Those pics show a very strong shade of blue in your Diamond Black paint.

well what are you running on those 18" wheels? from the group buy i know, that 3 people in the back with 265 would rub without doubt.

when lowering i would achieve the same result, wouldnt i?

which publix are you at in tampa
well i dont live IN tampa, but in a county close to it

Very nice KickR! I don't think the ride height is that bad.
What digital camera are you using for your pics?

If your interested in matching the centercaps, let me know because I'm still holding on to the black ones for you.

Looks good!!! You need to lower it now and have the fenders rolled because for sure it will rub (if use 265).

thanks for your comments so far. the camera i used for those pictures was an exilim Z-40 from casio.

with the fender rolling - I asked several shops in my area and all said they dont do it, because the risk of the paint chipping when not done right is too big. We had the fenders rolled on time in germany and it wasnt done correctly and after that it was just a pain in the a**.

so if any of you has the fenders rolled (in the tampa area) please let me know, because i wouldnt hesitate to get it done when i could see one successful attempt by some bodyshop

and jenk12m, i pm'd you

I LOVE the Diamond Black. I think it replaced my color (Midnight Blue). Looks very nice!

When i ordered the car i had the choice between simple black and the diamond black. the idea of the car actually changing its color as the weather changes was just awesome. one could swear it is black at night, but when coming really close that blue fade appears. when its sunny its everything BUT black. just love it.

for the wheels:
19x8.5 (with 235 contis) front with ~ 3/8" lip
19x9.5 (with 255) rear with ~ 1.5" lip
dimension very similiar to the TSW Bremmas

Yup. That's exactly what I like about that color. If they had it available when I was getting my car, I would most likely have picked this color! Lookin' good there.
