Photoshoot Review

Thats my car and my buddy N1CK's over there
I just want to show some love to George. Saw his work on the Canada section and man am I glad I found him. This guy is totally awesome, not only does he take amazing shots with amazing post editing skills but he works with you and he works FAST. The turn around time for him was only 2 days, as promised. He takes his time and did not complain once. Also, he is willing to work with you on shots that you are not 100% satisfied with.

I had 2 photoshoots with my old cars before but George goes way above and beyond. I am looking to do another shoot with him hopefully before I part out my car.

Thanks again! Keep up the good work!

To Add: These are the photos for the sexy C63!

Thanks everybody, yep I love the fender badge as well as the interior, looks sick!

Here are some shots of the interior (my favorite part of the car) with my cellphone as I told George to focus on exterior






Here is a picture of people who ask for which grille they should get (First OEM grille picture was taken by George hence the quality lol)

wow sorry for the late reply guys, been really busy

thank you everybody for the kind words, im gonna miss this project

Savage c-300 - I got these seat covers from http://www.topcar-athens.com/
You can speak to Angela. She is good on communication and is easy to deal with.
Make sure to tell them that your rear seats folds down into 2 pieces. There is also covers for the side bolsters for the rear seats but I didn't install them for my own preference
The bar looking thing is just part of the original seat. This mod is one of my favorite mods as it changes the whole look of the car. I HATE the cheap MBTEX vinyl seats so much...

We really lucked out the day of the shoot, the sky was crazy, and it wasn't till I got home to process the photos that I realized what I can do with the sky!

Car looks excellent!

I am in Toronto on business this week - from the minute I got here I noticed the airport lot was littered with very high end cars, everywhere I have gone I see really nice cars - kudos Toronto! Beautiful city you have here too!

(cannot believe you have removed that front plate bracket - if it was not required in NJ I would have disposed of that a looonnnggg time ago...)

snowmuch - I got the leatherette ones, you can talk to Angela and said Eric sent you. For those who order, make SURE to tell her if you seats folds down so for American version, it will be 5 pieces for the rear seats. 2 for side bolsters, 2 for folding seats, and 1 for the butt cushion.

Bluecougar - I didn't restitch the whole wheel (I wanted to though), but then I found red stitching covers which goes overs the original and my gf help me stitch it up lol

Scat01 - Welcome to Toronto! Yeah there are a lot of nice cars, especially in the core downtown. Also the front plate bracket is for my buddys car, he got his car brand new and never mounted it lol I want to do it too but there are holes on the bumper already, its definitely a sick mod if you don't mind getting ticketed LOL

hey! I'm digging the blacked out lights, I see you're located in toronto like me too! Where'd you get them done and what was the estimated cost? I'm looking to start some mods on my c350 but I've not so confident with DIY, also is there a body shop in toronto that you'd recommend especially for MB mods? Much appreciated!
