Independently of sun / no sun, and even camera settings, this is just wonderful before / after presentation.
Maybe the opposite (after pic without sun) would cause some arguing by the most picky guys out there (lol), but the absence of sun in the before pic is a bonus to the condition, it may look even worse under full sun.
The STI was actually in really good condition with no dents, scratches just minor swirls. The owner drove 8 hours from the oilfield down dirt roads and rain to get the vehicle detailed.
