where to take car pictures around Chicago Il?

Hey all,

Some of my friends in the Naperville area are thinking of taking some photoshoots of our cars, but we're not sure where is a good spot. There are some places in Lombard... but I'm sure there are better.

Any suggestions?

This was Sat at my Lombard location off of bluff road/lemont rd.

the place where most enthusiasts go to is on top of whole foods parking lot, you could get the skylines in the shot. i think you have to pay now to park up there.

or you could come up to the north suburbs and shoot around by the skokie lagoons (it's pretty dangerous at night)

whole foods lot, planetarium (you can't sit outside it anymore so go south on that island past the charter one pavillion and there is a parking lot) are my 2 favorites. Johan has some good spots too up in the burbs.

Ok, you are new, so you get a pass...but Johan is the man.

For any of your modding needs...I mean ANYTHING you have to call WSTO first.

If they don't have it, they can get it. They are Chicagoland's mod shop for BMW's period. No if's, and's or butt's.
