Default Photoshoot: Local's C5, NSX headlights, IForged wheels

It has come to my attention that the car was bought from a member on here, so I figured I'd post the pics. I'm not a professional by any means, so go easy on me guys.

Well I know the first thing a lot of you are gonna notice. He didn't have his front license plate filler with him, but I thought it'd look a lot better without it then a paper temporary tag.

Enjoy.

I am a pop-up fan, but nonetheless, what a beautiful Vette

Great pics--what did you use for a camera?

Also loved the big smile on the driver's face

Nice Car, very nice pics too!

Love the NSX light conversion, is there a detailed how-to posted somewhere? Where the bumpers modified to fit?

Thanks guys for the props on the pictures. Camera is a 20D and I used my Canon 70-200MM f/4L for some shots and my kit lens for others.

Great camerawork, wanna come by Ohio ? hehe

If I could offer one thing that is working against that car IMO: the combination of the spears and the BSM. Looks busy. I think either would look great, but together its not working. Again, no offense, just an observation.

Just to clarify guys this isn't my car. My buddy (pictured in the passenger seat) and I were riding down the interstate and saw the car a few weeks ago (we'd NEVER seen it before around here) then saw it AGAIN around my buddy's neighborhood. Well come to find out the owner of the car and my buddy went to HS together years back and the guy JUST bought it.

Phew that was a lot of "buddy's" haha.

Wow, nice car!
I have seen that car in person when I and the previous owner met up.
Look like you got a very good deal because the wheels are almost brand new and cost him $5K. The headlights conversion was about $5K as well.
Congrat on 1 of a kind C5 and nice shots
