(Photoshoot) Silver E55 on 20" Radenergie R10's (56k ZzZz)

So after a few weekends of haggling Ali (owner of the E55), he was finally able to come out and play for a few hours yesterday. Nothing fancy on the car. The mods are simple yet make a statement.

Mods: Renntech ELM, 20" Radenergie R10's, Toyo T1R Tires, Euroteck CF Front Lip, and Carlsson rear spoiler. All mods were done by Group5 Motorsport here in San Diego (as was my car).

I know someone will ask this question so let me answer in advance: The pictures were taken with the combination of a Canon 20D and Canon Powershot Pro1.

On with the pics:

The rear is slammed! How did you get it that low? Can it be driven at that height?

Really nice shots!

Thanks for the positive comments everyone. The car is indeed sick, glad we were finally able to hook up for a shoot after months of trying.

Really nice shots!

The car is just lowered on the Renntech Lower Module at the lowest settings. He has other cars so it is not his daily commuter but that is the height at which he drives the car.

LOL, still waiting for you. I heard from the grapevine that you're doing more stuff to your car.

A combo of two cameras? What lens were you using?

That is a VERY clean car. I love it. And of course, the pictures are as usual, fantastic material.

Newton, the Pro1 is a point and shoot so the lens is fixed. The lens used on the 20D was the only one I have in my possession right now which is the Sigma 30mm F/1.4. I'm beginning to find out that it is having some back/front focusing issues so it ruined a lot of my pics yesterday.

Josh, we're due for a Vegas trip soon. Hopefully this time around it won't be as hectic as SEMA. Will definitely get in touch with you.

Thanks for the kind words. Photoshop is the key. It allows endless possibilities of what you can do to enhance a photo.

I was in London in 10/05 and would like to go back (to Europe in general). If only the UK wasn't so draining on funds.
