Dude, you're right i'm parked more than 13" from the curb... Since my hoe ain't covered and pampered like a first-born daughter, I can't even get into the car when it rains on account of the water covering da street... Hey, someone got a picture of a babe playing a violin???? And *****in' shots, Luis!

Multiple shots bracketed there are special programs that allow you to edit multiple picts into one (other than PhotoShop CS).
That just went over Leo's head (and mine too).

btw Leo, Fly spells his name LUIS.

Nice blend of surfer, Soulja Boy, Hawaiian Pidgin, and 80's mix there Koji!

Some HDR looks good but especially that last pic it doesn't even look realistic. So the more pics look like that the more I think they look crappy.

The sunset photo from Luis, very nice

I agree with Brian. The more distant the shot becomes from reality, the more I don't care for it.
Those types of shots have their place in some artsy fartsy gallery, but not for everyday pics of your car, IMO.

To echo everyone else, Luis' sunset pic is awesome!

I just noticed that our signature cannot exceed 6 lines now.

Good thing a few of us are grandfathered.

Bad thing is we can't edit any of our info without changing it to the new 6 line limit.

You guys see this post?
2006 Mustang GT Automatic With Comp Thumpr™ Cams

Sounds great! Reminds me of my 85 with a Comp Cams Magnum 280 cam in it.

I think HDR is awesome. I guess you old fogies are stuck to your traditional ways.

Cool I'm getting the wife/myself a Nikon for X-mas. I've been looking at the D60 or D80. The stores on base got pretty good deals going for both of them.

if you think that last pic looks realistic, good or in any way I'd go to the eye doctor first before you get that diarrhea of the mouth fixed.


If you like your overly doctored pics, fine that's up to you. But they aren't all you're making them out to be.

Oh... Camera lesson.... The body is important but plan on spending twice of that for good glass. The lenses are a huge investment and will really help. Staying with the kit lens is OK but for really good photography spend the money on good lenses. I haven't 'cause I spend that money on my car.

Does it look realistic? No. That's not the point. It's just like the pic Luis has above does it look realistic? No, but it looks cool. That's all that really matters to me. I get bored of seeing normal pics. If I was going to do that raster photo thing like Ray I'd probably use and HDR pic.

Yeah I've seen the prices on lenses. Not to worried about it as it's the wife that wants the camera not me so I'm sure the kit lens will suit her needs.

Wow Brian must be typing up a storm. He's been replying for about 20 minutes now.

Brian-Have you considered the PJ front end and bullit grille combo? (except for those dam splitters)

I don't know why I'd do that I quit firefox and just now came back online


PJ front-end... yes and no... My choices would be...
CS front-end
GT500
PJ
Stock

I do like the dark horse especially because it's patterned after the "heritage" and does not use the abortion that the normal Saleen rear has.

Not a fan of the splitters, but then any decent body shop could fix that.

As much as I like changing the front-end it's about 1K too much for me to do and a almost a third towards a bottom-end. Priority #1, Bottom-end. with an ice-box and maybe, maybe new DRs (to replace worn out DRs) before that. Anything else well I just don't see me doing anything else right now.

GT500 conversion is crazy money since you have to change out the headlights and probably get a new hood since the GT500 front with stock hood looks weird.

Going out this Brazilian place downtown today. From what everyone tell's me it's awesome. Assuming it's as good as they say it is we'll all have to go next time you guys come down to SD.

Here's the restaurant's website. All you can eat for about $17 at lunch then dinner goes up to about $35.

Any conversion is going to be too much I think.

The CDC spoiler and SSE Ducktail cost me 450 bucks to paint.

So CS front or PJ front-end 300(cs)/more for the PJ... painting is going to be at least 400 bucks likely more. If I'm going through that trouble I should paint the stripes at that place out here that does stripes for 695. Before I know it I'm up to 1200 or more. Hell I can't see it being less than 800 bucks in anyway. George's link to the Saleen rotating assembly for the 302 is what... 1600 ??

I really want to do it but not at the expense of going forged.

Gotta let me know how that place it. My plans are to be out there for the Jan 24th races(with an ice box ??)

There's a place in Long Beach that's similiar. Never been, but heard it's real good.. but must go there starving to get your monies worth.

For the GT500 conversion info and price, all anyone has to do is ask Ray.

For me, if I get a new rear spoiler and painted stripes, I'll be happy.

Assh*le

I see what you're saying but I agree with them on this one. Those pics are over saturated. There's greens,yellows, and blues in places it shouldn't be. The idea is there but it didn't come through IMO.

Something I plan to later. Sell both of my lenses for a 28-300

What kind of Go parts do you have to go with all the show parts?
