Photoshoot with my Dad - Focaljet

**Nickgt40** · 09-20-2008, 02:15 AM

Since my attempt at pictures was of little success I decided to try it again with what I think a little better results. I just finished wiring up my headlights with my dad this afternoon and since both cars were relatively clean we decided to go take some shots together for the first time. Hope you like our cars.

By the way... they're both daily driven

nice gotta love black cars.... u driven the vette yet... don't youll be addicted here's me and my dad's other cars

**05TronZX3** · 09-20-2008, 02:19 AM

hoottttttttttt

**BOWERSdaAZIAN** · 09-20-2008, 05:53 AM

Love both cars! but man i have to be honest, The OEM look is interrupted by those busy tails. I think it would be much sexier with some tinted stockers.

But to each their own, keep up the foto skills also

**Lee1188** · 09-20-2008, 07:20 AM

Nice mate, I see you opted for Euro ST170 Heads... Nice Vette too.... I need to do some of the Foci & The Range (Dads) when I get time... and when my dad is here too

**BenP** · 09-20-2008, 07:43 AM

Holy SEX!!! Those are some great shots.

**CT SVT** · 09-20-2008, 09:02 AM

very nice

**hotrodkris** · 09-20-2008, 09:07 AM

Please tell me his Vette is a stick?

Great pics tho

Your headlights tie the car together like the Dude's Rug.

**Nickgt40** · 09-20-2008, 08:13 PM

Unfortunately it's not a stick

But he got a deal on it that he couldn't pass up, so I can't fault him too much for that. As it sits now it's more than fast enough for the street, clutch pedal or not... but that's not to say there's not going to be a nasty whine coming from under the hood sometime soon.

As far as my tail lights go, I have a love/hate relationship with them. I don't really care for the look too much from the side or direct sunlight, however I really like them when the car is in the shade or at night. I know it's common for everyone to think they are ricey but I think they set me apart, and until I have enough $$ again to get LED oem looking tails they're probably going to stay.

Thanks for the comments so far!

Your Dad faked me out with those wheels.

Nice cars, nice pics.

**Z63R** · 09-20-2008, 08:53 PM

How ironic. I just got down plugging in my ST170s today as well, granted mine were plug-n-play; but they're choice.

**Lee1188** · 09-25-2008, 06:17 PM

The setting is also wicked mate... Looks a great place to live!

Our only mountains are covered in snow.. would love to get that sorta climate here!

**Nickgt40** · 09-25-2008, 09:59 PM

**j20000** · 09-25-2008, 10:34 PM

**enigmazx5** · 09-27-2008, 03:15 PM

that is some sexy shots you toke there. the double black is nice. lpve the ST170s. im looking to get the chrome housing ones.

**SidewayzS15** · 09-28-2008, 03:19 AM

Wow this pic is fantastic! I love how the vette seems so placed into the image and has such a distinct look to it. Both cars look great, cant go wrong with ST170s!

**Nickgt40** · 09-28-2008, 01:17 PM

Thanks, as soon as I took that one it was my favorite as well. This spot is literally a 1/2 mile up the road from my parents house. Because they're in So. Cal there are somedays you can't even see those mountains because of smog

It was such a nice day that day, and that whole weekend actually. Just for reference for those that know. Those are the mountains that are just north of California Speedway (not sure of the new name).

**BlackEuroust** · 09-30-2008, 01:34 AM

other then the tails thats what i want my black zx3 to look like

**tallguy2.3** · 09-30-2008, 02:43 AM

My fav:

Both cars are nice!

X2 on tinted stocker tails. Maybe a euro lower grille and its perfect! The vette, yeah wow. You dont really need to mod a vette much for it to be nice.

those are straight MURDA! haha
