Default First Photoshoot!

Afternoon all! I thought I would post this as I’ve never had a photoshoot done before and wanted to share some cool shots!
I was having some tweaks made at the weekend and there was a photographer at the shop, the shop owner asked if he’d mind doing a shoot of my car (he had just finished doing another one) so, here’s a few cool pics I thought I’d share and the drone video he made as well.

Here is the link to the drone clip!



few snaps....

Love everything except the tire lettering and the green headlights.

Lightly smoked/tinted headlights would have been a better choice. Why Green? Nothing else on the car is green. Seems odd.

Wheels are 10/10

And what exhaust is that?

Great photos. Thanks for sharing. I see your tires are wider. What sizes front and back you running? I'm planning on going to 305 in the back and 265 front for my next set. Thanks....

I mix up the headlight tint quite often to keep it interesting. It’s more exciting than clear PPF!

That’s the AWE track exhaust in their polished black finish. Paired to a set of kooks longtubes

thank you!

they are the stock size on the front whatever that was? Stretched onto a 9.5. Then I just changed from the stock stretched onto a 305 on the rear which is an 11.

it’s very slight. The top of the tyre is completely aligned with the fender lip, but where it bulges a bit to the center of the wheel it is outside the fender. I‘ll get a pic for you tomorrow

nope! Just a vinyl wrap/tint film ‘Lemon yellow’ is what I’ve gone with for now.

Had the green chameleon for a while before that but it covered the detail of the aventador
light more than I’d like....

Ceramic Matrix with Carbon Flash, perfect combo. But then again, I might be a bit biased

I love the look of your car and the execution of the wheels. I'm always on the fence about the white tire letters too, but it works with your application. I honestly think the headlights tint takes away from the execution of everything else you've done. I know you like to mix it up, but when you nail the look, you shouldn't have to

cheers!

2019Vette, those images are perfect. Thank you for sending. I was apprehensive about adding the slightly wider rear tires prior to your photos, however my mind is at ease now. I will add the same 305 in the rear and go with 265 in front. Thanks again!
