Deffinatly not pics... but I put a Front Clip and some other parts like tail lights and what not in my Camaro.

Doesnt sound like an accomplishment, but I put a bigass freakin accordian in the case in my 3rd gen once. My dad wanted me to take it to get repaired. It was a beast to get in there
We fit a 5'6" bookshelf in the back of ours . Camaros rule for hauling!

It's HDR. Multiple exposures blended together so you get detail in shadows all the way to the highlights. Although the above image looks to have had a lot more stuff done to it.

Hey thanks for letting my know about that. Do you know how to take them on your camera? Can I take them on a point and shoot digital camera with a tripod? What settings would I need to change? ISO and something else? Any recommendations?

Yeah, that's what I thought before, but then I looked up some HDR images and some of them are pretty amazing.

They are stock ! All I did was paint over (on the outside) the white and amber parts with TRANSLUCENT RED paint that I picked up from a hobby store (came in a small spray can).

I taped them off (must be very observant because you MUST cover whatever you don't want to be red including the black), cleaned with rubbing alcohol, scuffed with a scotch brite pad, cleaned again and sprayed light coats (not allowing much drying time) untill it was the color/darkness I wanted (after holding them up so the sun would shine through)...

Came out great but I decided to clear a month later to make them "shine more". Clear was a little thick and orange peelish BUT a quick buff (with a hand towel) with some Meguiar's Plast-X (it's what I had at the time) smoothed it out and makes it look like identical to the stock red parts

Dupli-Color clear (may have even been the thick engine enamel type)... I always use Dupli-Color because the nozzle gives a good spray pattern...

For something that cool I don't mind the thread being jacked at all! That's a really neat mod.
