Took some pics...56K die die die

i know i know, my camera/camera skills leave something to be desired, but you get the idea.

just finished my berger style panel with brushed stainless letters, Z06 style Z28 badges, Grand Sport ticks, Z06 Motorsport wheels 17x9.5 front, 18x10.5 rear.

lemme know what you think (excusing the camera work of course )

That looks awesome! nice and clean with the shaved side moldings the emblems and grand sport stripes are nice touch.

Did you do the berger panel yourself? if so was it hard to do? I'm considering it as a DIY project one of these weekends but worried it may turn out crap. Worst case I'll get one from a scrapyard and give it a shot.

Cool car, but you're right, you don't take good pics!

If you're going to take pics at night, here's some tips.
1. Don't zoom in, make sure you are zoomed all the way out. This lets the most available light into your camera lens and thus makes a better picture with less noise in it.
2. In general, it's better if the available light is in front of what you are taking a picture of. This goes for daytime too.
3. If you want to take really great pics at night, and are like me (and most other people), and only have a regular point and shoot digital camera, and not a big fancy SLR, you should put your camera into night mode, turn off the flash, put the camera on a 2 second timer if you have that function, or just use the 10 second one, and put the camera on the ground or on a tripod. It'll make a really cool picture.

I don't really have a good example pic since I don't carry my tripod around so... you'll just have to take my word for it!

thanks for the suggestions man, might have to play around with the camera. i did turn the flash off though

i did do the berger panel myself. i bought a spare one from the junkyard, 300 wet sanded all the key marks out of it, then primered, and krylon'd the thing

bought the letters off ebay, they are real stainless steel, and the emblems came from www.mastach.com

Hey those turned out pretty nice! What type of CME setup is that? Are those the stock tips? If so, that's a good way to reuse parts!
