Anyone want to shoot my car for me? I am located in Southern California. My 350z has about 144k miles but looks damn near new. The car has been heavily modded and some of the mods are a full turbo kit, wheels and body kit. Here are some pics of the car below that I have taken but really looking for some better pictures.

just curious, you have some very capable gear of producing professional looking pics, why not give it a go yourself?

^^ I'm still learning this photo stuff so I guess I can kill two birds with the same stone. I can get some awesome shots of the car and at the same time maybe learn a little.

If you are looking for studio shots I could help out. I have access to 70'x120' studio with all the equipment and crew needed. This would be up in Ventura tho. Just something to think about. Or there are always the salt flats photos or up the coast on hwy1

Bango how much we talking for all that and also I have a nissan 240 sx with a 350z engine. It was the cover car in Modified a few issues back. I can arrange the 240 to be there also and the car is in Simi Valley. We work at Turbonetics so they basically are our cars we use for local shows.

I work in Simi Valley as well, and live 15 minutes away. You've got a couple of amazing cars there, I'd love to take some shots along with whoever else might be doing it. We could gather a few other cars to do a group shoot as well.

I'm located in San Diego and he's in the Riverside area, but we both don't mind the drive. If you're still looking, please let me know.

Well it is a 2003 and when I preordered the car it arrived in Scottsdale Arizona which is a state over. I had to wait a week for it to arrive to California so I flew to Arizona and pick it up. I then drove it across the US to New York twice not to mention other states in around the country. I have swapped the motor and tranny at about 110k miles.

Sorry I haven't been around much. I would do it for free!!! The studio is at my old school and all of the equipment is there as well. Just let me know if you are still interested. Next week before Thursday would work best for me as school is out for that week so we would more than likely have the whole place to shoot in!!!
PM me and we'll work something out!
