Cool Parking lot shoot. New mods (KW, Euro Bumper) and my 5D Mark III

I've been wanting to do a shoot with my new camera for awhile now. Since I have a couple new mods recently I figured it was time for another photoshoot.

I recently installed KW V3's over at Alekshop and they also had my car corner balanced and got an alignment. This suspension setup is worlds better than the ZCP competition package on the street and at the track. I've been driving it for a little over a week now (and a track day at laguna) and I'm still surprised how much better it is. :thump:

I also had an opportunity to pick up a euro bumper with front PDC's. Really happy with how it looks and the front sensors are great. Anyways, here are the photos from today.

I drove around for over an hour looking for a place to shoot the car and came across this lot. Funny thing is it looked like there were no gates at the entrance or exit so I went in. Spent about an hour shooting the car and when I was on my way out there was an electronic fence blocking both the entrance and exit. The parking lot was practically empty so I was scared that I would be stuck in there. Luckily someone in a Prius at the bottom floor was heading out and I quickly left behind him. I've never been so happy to see a Prius in my life.
