After seeing my car sitting inside the shop for the last couple of months, I got tired of looking at it. The current setup is getting old and very dated looking. So, we decided to start modding the bucket again. I am going to do little simple things here and there to update it. Eventually the plan was to do a complete revamp on the complete car. As for now, little things here and there until the economy allows me to go mod crazy.

I will post step by step uodate pics on this thread as soon as the mods are completed.

:bye:

Say goodbye to this old look. Better stuff to come. :bye:

Nothing big......yet! For now, just small and simple.

Here are some recent pics of the Schnitzer 7's prettier sister, on my first serious attempt with the DSLR. .

Anyone have any tips on how to take better pics, without photoshop? .

Just a little cleaning up for now.

The major mods will be later in the year ............... pending what the new Pesident does with the economy.

Hi Sam,

What kind of dSLR do you have? To get the best results, you should use an upgraded lens (not the standard kit lens).
Also, try to experiment with the manual focus and the white balance. Just make as many photo's as you like, and then sort them out on the computer.

Just one extra tip: I found that the best photo's are made just before the sun goes under/up
