Default Knoxville, TN: JDM Mugen front Fo' Do' SI, Ultra Clean EK Hatch, and others

I had a chance to shoot a few guys out in Knoxville this weekend with my partner in crime, ZacCarter. These guys are cool as ****, not to mention the cars are baller.

What you see here is subject to change, because I've only edited a few of these pics, and there are more coming, so check back soon!

I'll have the owners chime in and tell you more about the cars, I'll just get to the pics here. If you want to see larger files, click the photo, then click "all sizes" at the top and you should be able to see them larger.

Yeah, you'll have to find these guys then, I know there are some clean cars out in East TN. These aren't the only ones.

I just wanted to upload a quick one to show how low it -really- is. I didn't use a flash here, it was when you were parked over on the side, I wanted to play with this gorilla pod mini tripod I had.




I think all the hotspots are glare from the flashes while Zac was shooting Dustin's car. This was an extended exposure so he probably fired them twice during this picture.

I'm pretty sure it was KPD, either way they were POS's. Next time were coming to Cookeville so we don't have to worry about going to jail!

I'd like to get JMK's car shot some more in the ambient light, the color would pop in the day. The flash kind've flares it up.

Anytime you guys want to come we're down here... any weekend
