yeah another thing u might want to keep in mind is that my tires are kinda streched. im going to get some new tires that are not streched like these and i got a crap load of camber too which will be taken care of when i get the new tires and an alignment. yeah since u got rolled fenders, id get some lower offsets.

everything looks great except...red reverse light overlays? so in other words you have no reverse lights, and people might think your braking, when you are really backing up, hope that doesn't turn out badly for you.

i'm not hating, but remember form AND function.

That's with the wide angle? What is that like a 43mm lense normally? I see the barrel distortion but it doesn't look wide angle at all. Is that a sony wide angle attachment? Becuase the corners being cutoff makes it look like it was not meant for whatever adapter you are using.

Nice car though!

yeah i just got the thing today, im sure there are some settings on my camera that i need to playaround with. and the lens is just a generic one from ebay, it is 0.45x 58mm. i really do not know too much abt taking pics either. for the reverse light overlays, ive had them for a long time and really have not had any problems with them. thanks for looking out tho. and thanks for the compliments guys.

Yeah, watch out for generic adapters... too long a tube or a wrong fit are comon issues... if possible yours needs to be closer to the lense so the lense can't see the sides of the adapter.

Seems weird that a 58mm wide angle attachment would ge tin the way of anything as I don't think they come bigger for the most part....

Anyhow... good stuff either way!
