Hey y'all I'm gonna do what I did last year and just make a thread for all the pictures I took this past weekend. Unfortunately I only took 1/5 the amount of pictures I did last year due to weather, me being in my own car, as well as having to leave early. I hope you guys do enjoy the pictures I did capture. I have about 48 photos that I decided to edit so they will be coming along slowly for the next few days.

I tried to save this one as much as I could, but there wasn't much I could do with the poorly exposed original.

Here is the photo after some post processing and a little of HDR with only two photos. Threw it in photoshop to remove a lot of the random stuff and then in lightroom to make some final adjustments. Thanks again Matt for taking the photo. :)

But when the Mafia leaves you with a bunch of lemons in your trunk, you buy socks and go bowling. And it was awesome.

Thanks everyone...:) Yeah, it's amazing just how good the rear of my ///M looks! Matt did an awesome job taking that pic :thumbsup

With the OE bootlid installed it kinda looked plain to me but with the CSL bootlid, that look has been transformed to something very special :)

100% agree! The CSL bootlid is, IMO, the correct way the E46 tail is to be finished. It just flows soooo perfectly with the curves that start above the taillights. :drool
