Excerpts from those posted <here>

A plain pic on a cloudy day...


....a high key treatment of one of them...

I like the rims and paver reflection in this one. ...liquidy! Note the carpet in the wheel well is readily visible.

 

MURDAH!!~~~ love it... i cant wait for my "murdered out" mini.. lol

What wheels are those and size of tires?

 

Just picked this up today.


More pics to come...

Man, I love the JCW aero kit

All the cars on this page are looking good

 

A softer hand w/the still heavy processing... halo'ing is pretty well controlled... the keeper I think:

...yes, it is now being used as my SIGPIC w/a slightly different treatment (and 20% JPG quality to get under 30Kb )

 

A new look for night time





I ordered my LEDs flexi strips from oznium.com
Wasn't that hard to install, just took some time. I have it tapped into the footwell lights, so they fade up and down with the lock/unlock, and tapped into cig lighter for constant power at hand. It all runs through a 3-way switch so I can select which one I want.

Oh and it is white light, not blueish like it came out in the pic

 

Yep, that's def. the keeper of the bunch. LOVE the colors in this pic. Look at how shiny it is as well, great reflection off the passenger door.

 

i see diff. side scuttles... were those stock?

 

yeah they are the mini JCW scuttles

 

I wish they weren't all chrome; or at least the indented section. I thought for sure I'd change it, but they're growing on me tho.

 

You can change it! Take a look at the JCW scuttle - it's $155. Easy to install too.

 

I'm with you. I saw them on the Launch edition car in the showroom. What I mean is I'm thinking I won't, as I'm beginning to be OK w/them and to keep the car uniquely a 'Factory JCW' look.

 

minim8o what type of processing are you doing on your photos. They look HDR. I am trying to work out HDRs but all my attempts have failed. I used CS3, the merge to HDR, and then play with the curves. What am I missing?

 

haha ... I just had that debate w/someone. I didn't think it was a HDR technique -- because I was only using one photo, not the normal 3 or more used in HDR that truely starts w/an increased dynamic range -- but he convinced me it was. Have a look in this thread from this post on for that discussion... (easier than re-writing all) I use Lightroom. I think you can use ACR or CS3 and the terminology carries.

 

took some new photos, check them out.

i would love some feed back. The new ones are after the interior shots.

 

How do you keep it from melting?

 

Well they are attached to the frame thats right behind the bumper. There is a gap big enough for a fist to fit between the lights and the condenser. So far they are holding up fine. They are the flex strip LEDs that are covered in silicone

 

Finished my blackout mods. Love my new Enkei wheels.

 

Looks fantastic!

 

Looking good! I can't tell if it was my monitor or not, but I felt like a lot of those shots could really benefit from a little higher exposure and/or saturation values. Then again, I tend to always increase the saturation on just about every picture. That little extra color just makes things pop.

 

Tint is metalized at 35% on the sides/back and non-metal and 5% on the sunroof.
