Love 'em. Only problem was the center caps don't fit. I bought the standard large size, and these are odd. They're about the same diameter, but about half as deep. I think I've got something in mind, but for now I just put the ones they came with on. Also shown here are a few new mods including SHR lower grill inserts, Street Scene Eleanor grill, Eibach Pro-Kit and Tokico D-Specs, and rear Mustang letters. They're all 3 exposure HDR. Some have more filtering than others. Without further adieu, enjoy.

Thanks guys! Appreciate it. They really make the car.
For the photography, I'm using a Canon Rebel XT. I'm using a Sigma 18-55mm lens and a Canon 75-300mm lens. These are 3 exposure HDR's, to help bring out the shadows in the wheels and grill. There's plenty of websites out there, but honestly, it's just taking a lot of pictures, and tons and tons of practice. Usually I say for every good picture, there are 5 bad ones. But I only came out with a couple of duds this time. These were the best of all I took. Post processing practice helps a lot, too. All winter, I just play in Photoshop and various HDR programs with pictures from the previous summer, just practicing and creating new techniques.

The passenger side actually matched the driver's side. Not sure what happened. Maybe when I was working on the suspension this week, I hit put the passenger side out of alignment. I will be looking into that tomorrow.

I think I will as soon as I organize everything. Like you I have been playing with Photoshop non stop. I have used it for years for graphic work but never really dug into the photo editing side of it. Here is one I took last night with the Rebel with only minor post processing done to it. I'll post up some more in a new thread when I get some more done. I have been shooting practically every night when I get home to get used to the SLR.

Where did you get your wheels from? I have been missing a center cap for some time, and can't find a replacement. Those look similar to the ones I have. Also could you post a closer pic of the wheels with the center cap?

If anyone knows where to buy a pony center cap in the size on the left, please let me know!
I got the wheels on eBay from these guys http://myworld.ebay.com/wheelindex/
I want to find some pony caps the same size, but I dunno if I'm going to find anything. I may have to come up with something. Here's a picture of the caps from the aftermarket wheels (on the left) and a standard large pony center cap that works on American Muscle type Bullitts (on the right).
