Latest pics from HIN and Spring Photoshoot

I rarely post my car on the forums, but here are some shots that my friend/photographer Chris Kuehl ([url]www.kuehlconcepts.com[/url]) has taken at HIN in Chantilly, VA and then again the following day near DC. Just wanted to share some of his work. His HIN shots are a little blurry since he forgot his tripod, haha.

Higher resolution pics can be seen here.

Benji, 

Your car looks damn good man!!!

[QUOTE=nadreams;54473]Benji,

Jake[/QUOTE]Thanks! I'm planning on some coilovers soon to clean it up a little. I wanna lower it just a bit more, especially in the front.

[QUOTE=Benji;54477]Thanks! I'm planning on some coilovers soon to clean it up a little. I wanna lower it just a bit more, especially in the front.[/QUOTE]

i think it looks fine. for a couple more hundred bucks. i dont think its worth it. maybe if you go air?

Your car is sick

Thumbs Up

[QUOTE=antbo;54479]i think it looks fine. for a couple more hundred bucks. i dont think its worth it. maybe if you go air?[/QUOTE]Thanks, yea I'm torn between spending more money to go lower and possibly scraping my front bumper more, or just leaving it alone.

Very nice.    Im a huge fan of that.   Keep up the good work

MAN that is one siiiiiiccckkkkk CIMA!!!! 8o
Makes me want that grill and hood emblem alot more now!
Keep up the good work on this beauty!!!!

hey man i saw ur car at the show kept tring to look at ur curtains and see how they mounted.lol, car looks good man....i heard u took some pics with chris, cant wait to see those pics

leave the suspension alone unless you are going air. it looks good where it is! what size are the rims? 18's?

[QUOTE=scottyxb;54488]Very nice.    Im a huge fan of that.   Keep up the good work[/QUOTE]Thanks man!


[QUOTE=PANCAKES!;54515]MAN that is one siiiiiiccckkkkk CIMA!!!! 8o

Keep up the good work on this beauty!!!![/QUOTE]Thanks, yea the hood emblem I've been sitting on for almost a year now, I debated if I wanted to use it or not, after seeing a lot of other Y33's with them in the magazines, I made the move to drill the holes.


[QUOTE=UcanTry;54518]hey man i saw ur car at the show kept tring to look at ur curtains and see how they mounted.lol, car looks good man....i heard u took some pics with chris, cant wait to see those pics[/QUOTE]Hehe, yea a lot people were asking how they were mounted, honestly the rails are just double-sided taped on and the curtains come with them threaded onto the rail hooks. If only these curtains were motorized. :) Yea, after seeing Chris' Y33 I wanna go lower, it looked so nice rolling, as well as parked. He told me about some Y33 front coilovers he was trying to get rid of. I PM'ed him about it, just waiting to hear back from him. I can't wait to see those pics too. 

[QUOTE=Caoboy;54520]leave the suspension alone unless you are going air. it looks good where it is! what size are the rims? 18's?[/QUOTE]Thanks man, yea I'm still torn on keeping it where it is, but if I get a good deal on those front Y33 coilovers I just mentioned to UcanTry, I might lower it a little more. They're 19's, but yea for some reason they look small in the pics.

[QUOTE=Benji;54545]Thanks man!

i didnt know u 2 were going to meet up and take pics, i might have stayed longer, but after being there for 2 hours i was ready to leave.......yea chris car is low but he wants it lower...lol..

the pics look pretty good i was just looking at them but ill wait for either chris or terry to post them

[QUOTE=UcanTry;54547]i didnt know u 2 were going to meet up and take pics, i might have stayed longer, but after being there for 2 hours i was ready to leave.......yea chris car is low but he wants it lower...lol[/QUOTE]Yea, I didn't know we were going to meet up for pics either. He called around 9PM and asked me to call him after the show to meet up. I asked him where you were, he said you had left early. Yea 2 hours is nothing compared to my 10 hours, oh man I was bored, but it was my 1st show ever, and it was interesting to see who and how many people stopped to look at the car. Its never been in a crowd that large before. Chris wants to go lower? He's crazy! Without a kit he could go lower, and that would be even better.

Cleen.....

Benji, you know what Ima gunna say...If you can afford some Coilovers then do it...later on you can add air to the CO's and it will be a better sus then hust air...that would be real PIMP

car looks good

She looks spectacular on those pics Im with others leave it or air it up oh and the hood emblem that was a definite must have item.

that car is sweet the way it is...whats the wheel specs?

My inspiration for looking for a clean black one :)  Would you mind PM me your set up? Wheel offset...coil over and stuff?  

TIA...

[QUOTE=yellowpad;54704]My inspiration for looking for a clean black one :)  Would you mind PM me your set up? Wheel offset...coil over and stuff?  

TIA...[/QUOTE]Thanks guys! The wheel specs are Work Euroline DH 19x8.5/9.5 +0 O Disks with 15mm spacers makiing them about -8 in offset. I'm just running the discontinued Y33 IMPUL springs and rolled rear fenders. The tires are Falken FK452's 215/35/19's on the 8.5's and 235/35/19's on the 9.5's. I'm close to purchasing 225/35/19's for the 9.5's, but the extra needed stretch isn't that necessary right now, just thought it would look better I guess to have more of the lip exposed. You can check out the link in my sig to see the list of stuff done to the car.

some more pics i didnt see in the thread

The pics are better than anything I could've shot, I greatly appreciate you hanging out to take them. Man, I didn't know you were the guy who had the Soarer. Your pic in the sig, was that taken at VMP? I remember that day when it was there. I was going through my runs at that drift event in my old S14. That soarer is nice! The skyline is even better!

I never really thought it was show worthy, now if it was outside in the sun, they'd probably see all the swirls in my paint, haha.

[QUOTE=actolex;54882]Benji.....why did they put you in the other hall against the wall ???

Car looked really good at the show.  Oh...those pics came out better than the ones Henry took for Import Tuner !!!![/QUOTE]Thanks man, means a lot coming from you because not everyone can have a nice ass M45 front and center, haha. No seriously, my cousin's shop had 3 other cars to check-in and since he was bringing my car too because I was at work on Friday, I guess they stuck it with the rest of them along that wall. Now if your telling me I could've had a center spot like you. :(

[QUOTE=manila_boy;54892]man those pix looks awesomw!!! great job... i really like the interior shot (back seat/tv headrest)!!![/QUOTE]Thanks, yea he was trying to get a shot of the curtain and tv. Looked better than anything I could've shot.

[QUOTE=555;54896]excellent choice of combinations, wald lip rite?r u goin to run camber on this car?btw ure fogs could go crystal clear juz like ure headlamp, too dull hehehe also some other lighting/blinker at the side mirror would good as well..keep up the good work![/QUOTE]Yea WALD full kit with molded front and rear pieces. Not sure if I'm going to run any camber, my wheels are kinda on the conservative side still. Yea, that driverside fog needs replacing definitely, I just replaced the passenger side fog recently due to getting a crack in it, I'll replace the driverside soon as well. I'm still debating on the mirror blinker, it may be in the works, more for function really because I'm tired of switching lanes and people don't see me. Thanks for the feedback. :)

[QUOTE=Benji;54971]What's his other car?

Benji....you selling the car ?????

Thanks for all the compliments guys!

[QUOTE=actolex;63111]Benji....you selling the car ?????[/QUOTE]
I'm just testing the waters, but I'll let it go if the price is right like around $13K. If it doesn't sell, its not a big deal. I'm not tired of the car, I would just like to have an F50. If it doesn't sell, I'll just keep the Y33 and get the F50 later.
