I like the 5th one, but that's because I don't really like low angle shots.

None of them. You have that nice hood yet you hide it with the low angled shots.

Reason why he won't use picture front of car because of front plate that don't allowed on calender. Do you have front plate cover? You could use it for short time. It usually take like 5 minutes for install and remove them out. Kind like I did that remove plate out and install "grand prix" frame on my rear shot picture last year.

I decided to be subtle with the hood, if you realize my hood has major gap on other side and I have no intentions of showing that off. Also on rear panel I have a dent. At lower angles the dent isn't obvious. As you can see my photo options are very limited and I have met all the rules for the shot so one of the five will be submited. I had tried rear shots and upper (higher up photo shots like everyone is doing) and the hood gap on passenger and driver side is a lot more obvious and looks terrible and I really don't want to show that off.

Just another thing, my spoiler is stock so an upper shot with huge hood and small wing looks akward as well. I really need to invest in an SD wing but I have dynamat extreme on my trunk lid (over where the mounting for the spoiler is) so I do not think thats an easy option.

Sometime next year I'm going to a body shop to see if I can get them to look at the hood and try to position it correctly. The shop I had it at couldn't get it. The hood itself is an odd shape and doesn't sit sound against the fenders so I don't think there is much I can do from where it is positioned now. They tried raising fenders but it ended up pushing against the hood and causing issues with opening and closing it.

#2 but go around more toward the front of the car and it would be good.

Maybe a rear shot of the LED tails?

If I try moving towards the front the license plate becomes visible (i've tried using light to block it out). I have some rear shots, ill upload them but im not including them in the vote at this point in time. But I can always get opinions from you guys.

Regardless I think the sig makes its point clear lol. No offence to you though chris, i do like your setup and you've worked hard for it.

Here is the rear shots.

Like I said I do respect your setup, with all the money gone into it you have something to show.

I'm really hoping for this L26 so I can save up enough to supercharge it and just work on it over winter in my cousins shop and learn more about my car. I do have a backup vehicle for winter so I think ill use that while i SC my gt, im thking neway. Thats if everything goes good...

No idea, I dont even know if this L26 deal is going down, thats why I deleted the post. I think I may go SS, but that is just me speaking way ahead. I've been wanting to do it for sometime (either top swap or ss) I just haven't had the money or place or time and I finally think I've come up with the place and i will have time this winter on winter break and holidays. I may do it even if I don't get L26. My car has 90k miles on it I think its still got some life into it so I guess why not. I'm tired of not being SC'ed.

The reason I need time is because I know ill mess something up. I also know that I work pretty slow when it comes to my car and will need more time then most to complete it. I like to clean stuff while its out and inspect to make sure everything is ok.

My biggest fear is messing up and not doing something right and causing my car to not run right.

Alright I will use the 1st pic of the second set unless others don't think I should. I forgot I had a good rear tail shot so thank you chris GT for reminding me. You can even see the hood in the rear shot and it has more of an angle. I can hide the back plate because it is inlayed inside license plate holder.
