[kurupt_hawaiian]

looks sick man... i gotta catch up with you on mods!

[Erocko]

Hehe, i still gotta get off my lazy arse and do the CC mod.

Just question howcome you have headlight washer even if you have normal halogen headlight?
Isnt the washer comes only with xenon housing?
Nice pics though

[Erocko]

hehe, good question. I have no idea. I got the car used and stock. It's a 2005.5, that might have something to do with it.

Pics 4,5,6,7 are just way too overdone.. it's kind of what gives HDR a bad name (people tend to overdo it, i'm guilty of it also).. they are also a bit oversaturated

some of the ones that aren't "overdone", including the first picture, are too flat and desaturated.. it just doesn't pop like it should.

it almost seems like most of these pics are HDR'ed just for the sake of being HDR'ed.. not because they had to be. if anything, the normal pictures might look better.

on the other hand, the interior shot is very cool

it's kind of like modding a car.. a nice subtle wing is tasteful, a slightly more substantial one can be cool if done right, but a giant EVO-style wing is just RICE

it's tough to find a good balance with HDR but you can only get better with practice

aside from that, beautiful car.. you did a good job of implementing black in all the right spots so that it all flows together

Thanks man, I know what you mean. I have a friend who does some insane stuff with it. His pops like no other. You can't tell it's HDR, but it's amazing. I suppose that's the secret. It inspires me to keep working on it.

I definitely gotta practice.

i have an 05.5 with xenons and washers. im pretty sure its the cold weather package guys. you guys probably have seat warmers and a ski bag thing behind the center rear seat. but.... in hawaii?

[kurupt_hawaiian]

[Erocko]

LOL, yeah. I gotta start bringing my camera and tripod out.
Not feeling my roommate's Sears work van or the power lines? I think it adds character 8)

The car was originally sold on Maui (where I'm from), so yeah, no ski bag or seat warmers :)

[chadb2434]

sweet pics. Love the one of the sky!

[Hockenheim]

Cool shots, loving the Honolulu backdrop, such a nice city.

[Erocko]

I used Photomatix. The only thing, is that it makes it all look over-exposed. I am trying to do it with Photoshop, but I suck at Photoshop :)

cool pics! What program are you using to do the hdr?

[supamannn99]

nice pictures! how did you do it?

and nice tires! im gonna get a set of those in a few days.. how do you like them?

[Erocko]

I use software, but it isn't cheap. Here are some tutorials:

The Proxes 4's are good. I have no complaints. They are all season UHP tires with a 300 tread life rating. It rains a lot over here, and they are great in the rain.

nice pictures! how did you do it?
