New Photos Before Carbon Fiber Lip (warning 56k)

The other night I got a little antsy and figured I would take some shots of the car before I the carbon fiber front lip spoiler arrives ( ) and is installed. These are taken right off the 53rd street FDR exit in Manhattan. The lighting here is pretty dramatic and made for a good setting.

Thought I'd share...

What kind of camera and equipment do you use? Beautiful pictures.

I have a Macintosh, do I have Photoshop software on my computer?

Thanks for all the compliments guys. I'm looking forward to installing the lip - it just arrived and I haven't had a chance to open the box and look at it yet. Probably will hold off until I can find a way to get it installed or some folks in the NY area available to help

The TSW Bremma's are great. I know we see a lot of them on the forums, but I have still yet to spot any on the street. Not many 19's on cars around Manhattan. They require no spacers (I wouldn't go the space route anyway) and fit correctly. Mine are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 I believe and wear 235/35R19 and 265/30R19 Nitto tires. I recommend you purchase them thru Neal at Euroteck Motorsports as he knows the perfect match for our models and still offers them as a wheel/tire package on his site, I believe.

As for the question on my equipment - I use a digital SLR, wide angle lens, a powerbook, photoshop, and my eyes. More to come soon...
