O.K. What did you do to the car Derek?

Biggrobb impatiently waiting on pics.

See page 7 there's a few fresh pics on there Robb.

Externally everything is the same. Aside from fixing my slightly sagging skirts and front lip, that is. I seem to have to mess with the body panels on my car quite a bit, they always come out of whack.

Part of the Prothane bushing master kit is in, and the rest should be in soon. I'm slacking because I don't feel like pulling the entire front and rear suspension apart, and also because i'm too poor to get an alignment haha.

how did you get the snowflake rims black are the spary paint or are they powdercoated

OB · Post by OB » Wed Feb 04, 2009 10:07 pm

They are rattle canned w/ high temp flat black engine enamel (duplicolor). All I did was sand and shoot.

Speeder · Post by **Speeder** » Wed Feb 04, 2009 10:30 pm

OB · Post by OB » Thu Feb 05, 2009 3:17 pm

Thanks! Took quite awhile because I did 2-3 coats per wheel, but it was well worth it.

*Added another pic to the shoot on Pg. 7*

Yeah, your car is soooo dirty.

Looks great! Love how it sits now.

So I downloaded Nikon's Capture NX2 trial program and played with a few pics. Now I know how people make their DSLR pics look so awesome! Check these out!

Newer one

Imagine if I actually knew what the heck I was doing! This is too cool.

Consider it done (the shoot, that is). I love shooting cars, it's definitely starting to be one of my main hobbies.

Really? What gun do you prefer?

So it looks like you'll be getting the intake on Thursday. Better post some pix of it when installed

You going to paint it at all, or leave it black?

OB · Post by OB » Sun Feb 15, 2009 6:33 pm

Oh i'll probably leave it black. Slappin' the K&N on the old lady's Neon. Works out really well. I'll get pics no worries!

supertrick_05 · Post by **supertrick_05** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 7:00 pm

Awesome!

Cabbs · Post by **Cabbs** » Sun Feb 15, 2009 9:28 pm

Intake? What intake? I didn't hear about this!

Here's a few new ones I shot yesterday under a bridge. The lighting was tough to work with due to the time of day and the shadows, but they turned out alright. I washed the car a few days ago only to get rained on severely for three days, so it's pretty dirty. Iceman intake went in yesterday too.

My favorite of the shoot

All comments welcome!

OMG, i love the quality of those pictures! how do you get that program? Couldn't photoshop do this too?

I use Nikon's Capture NX-2 program for my photo editing, never used Photoshop so I don't know. I'm sure every program could do this; I only made minor adjustments. Camera quality plays a big role in how much you can improve the pics.

Yeah, And I'm really loving those pics. I just might have to do that after I get my paint job. You have no idea how close my face is to the moniter staring at your ass....I mean your car's ass.
