Refined Elegance Presents...New Member

Its a huge honor to be part of RE. all members are really down to earth and good peeps, Texas putting it down.

Representing VIP to the fullest.

The newest additions to my car is the new lips and new stance.

the rear lips are 3.5 the widest OZ offers in a 20.
so now rears are 10.5+4 Slowdisc.
custom lips might be in the works for the new radius project.
stay tuned for that...for now, enjoy

Thanks to JUn for the pics and big ups to the RE family!

you just need to get some lights and learn how to use them is all. the characteristics are consistent throughout all your photos. And your horizons are off alot of times as well. but i do haev to admit they are real sharp, which is a huge plus

I appreciate some positive coming from you. I just purchase some strobes (novatron 440 kit), we had them that day of the shoot, didn't get a chance to pull them out b/c we were so rushed.
