Great looking light set up. I might have to steal you idea on this set up.

I also have Triton V3 switchbacks that are 5000K
Which led fogs do you have? I also have Osram CBIs with clear projector STI-R lens and TheRetrofit Source XB LED projector foglights that are 5000k as well and my dual evil iron man is also 5000k. I just need to take some good pictures of that. Just like you I do have V3 tritons but only amber and they only go on with the turn signal so it doesn't look too busy with the dual evil iron man

I agree it could be the winner, except for a couple things. First, it's technically not a night shot. (Before you grab your ---E, read the title of the thread.) Second, the photoshop is too obvious. If you're going to pay a professional photographer, demand the best. The resolution isn't very high and the edit is still glaring. As a photog with your impressive skills, I'm a little surprised at your assessment.

I forgot for a moment what a serious business this is.

All I know is I like what I like, and can usually explain why. I didn't do so here, but didn't know I had to.

No need to justify an opinion. I was merely exaggerating the juxtaposition of our perspectives. Broski had a great idea for this thread. I choose to be a tad more critical on the professional photos because of the disparity it otherwise brings to a casual thread where members are submitting their own work.

Preemptively, the irony is not lost on me.

Sometimes I think you just argue for sport, context be damned.

Chi-City-G posted a beautiful image, I complimented it, then you shot down my compliment... which was weird. If you want to be critical of something, go after the out-of-focus cell phone fails from the 87 Octane loonytoon. At least that would make some sense.

There, you should appreciate that, nelledge, since you like to deflect your arguments.

You might be right. Chord struck. This place needs some jousting to keep it fresh. The constant wheel, offset, etc discussion is tortuous.

That poor gentlemen. Hahaha.

Oooh, we should change this thread to how wheels of varying offsets look at night! Fitment affects light reflection, you know.

It actually was a night shot but all that ****ty editing made it that bright... haha, thanks for adding some spice to the thread though...

The photog is legit too, he admittingly took some liberties with this shot and talked to me about it before completing the edit. I like the outcome.

Well, tell him to shore up those feathering skills.

All in all... I'm just envious. That's a beautiful G. I'd love to see some videos of that thing in motion downtown Chicago 4am. Like one of those MM Lincoln commercials in Austin, but with less booger rolling and more turbo spooling.

Good choice with going with the non switchbacks. I agree it would interfere with the iron man mod.

I also have sti-r clear lenses swap. Its awesome.

As for my fogs, i purchased these. I bought the previous generation version and had a promo code so i only paid $80

H11 LMZ PLATINUM HIGH OUTPUT LED HEADLIGHTS FOG LIGHTS - H8 - Fog Lights - Shop Bulb Type

Mine didn't have a fan and was rated for 2800 lumens

Please, don't give anyone ideas. I beg you.
