The second pic really nailed the color - TR is hard to get right as it sometimes looks more orange than red in bright sunlight. Car looks great James.

Great Job! Z looks great!
It's tricky to get the color right in the sun... as you can see how bad my profile pic is! I took some of mine before with an airplane and noticed my trunk was open also...

thanks...hey, I was impressed by your pic with Jesse James...now show me some with Richard Rawlings of Fast and Loud, or Danny from Counting Cars...my 2 favorite car shows now, and also from Texas. I'm beginning to think Texas is the best state for car enthusiasts....and that's coming from a carguy born and raised in the Motor City!

The Count is a kool Kat ...it seems like these guys
( Jesse) they start these companies and get them rolling they then sell out but keep the name of the famous person
You know Jessie is nothing like Boyd Coddington
For that matter Chip Foose is like the nice guy of the 3 ...

Default Torch Red in the dark...under an led street light

Since Pics of Torch Red seems to be a good topic today I thought I'd chime in...The city recently put in an LED street light. I thought it would be interesting to stop by one morning on my way to work and take some pics. All pics were on a tripod with slow shutter speed with no flash. After some exposure adjustments I liked the outcome. The lines on the hood are wires below the light...

Mine is the same way with coilovers. If I lowered it further I wouldn't be able to get in my driveway.
