ok, Im not sure how I want to think of this...

while I want to REALLY beleive thats how your car actually looks, cause if it did, thatd be awesome. but I dont want to beleive you have a blue window tint. therefore Im guessing thats some photochop magic making the color pop like that.

but Id like to start a motion for you to repaint your car so it actually looks like that. cause that is incredable.

atleast for the photos, get good with photoshop, and layer the painted body out of the photo, do the color change, then put it back in. itll look more realistic cause the windows will be the right color then.

i like it, i had never seen that on anyones car before. it looks like you put it on the driver side though. if there was a way of removing the message on the passenger side and putting that instead it would be better though.

Yeah, can't do it on the passenger side.

Sorry to disappoint you ares but the car really does look like that in person. When I crop the pics on my computer I up the contrast just a tiny bit and decrease the light about 2 points and that is why I get the "blue tint" effect that you mention.

It just makes the car look more like it does in person (minus the blue tint).

Maybe you've never seen a Brick in person (and I KNOW you've never seen one with 68 layers of Zaino

But that is what it looks like in the sun. Look at the colors of the other stuff in the pic. That is exactly how they look in person!

When Jim did this with his pics last year (his LeMans) everyone loved it! I don't hear you saying anything when people do pics with special effects? These cars obviously don't look like that in real life!


Jeeese!

Well, I hate to break it to all the non-BY owners, but those pics of the good Dr's car are how Brickyard looks... sometimes.

It all depends on the lighting. I can show you pics of my car where it looks reddish brown, black, deep red metallic, shiny and purplish (like DrBonz's pics above), reddish-purple... and so on.

It's an amazing color. I actually still get more questions about the color than I do about the body kit & hood or Vortech supercharger. Most no-350Z owners think its a custom paint job.

Just to back this up, I have attached an un-"doctored" photo of my BY. It has the same lighting effect that DrBonz car shows above, but over a smaller area. Had my car been turned 90 degrees in my driveway, I could have gotten a shot that would have virtually matched DrBonz car

Here is the "undoctored" pic.

The sun was directly overhead in this shot and thus the lighting on the side of the car facing the camera was poor. If you look at the flare of the fenders however, you'll see that shiney metallic color coming through.

If the sun would have been at my back, the ENTIRE car would look like the fenders do. I simply play with the numbers a bit to get that effect in a shot that had less than optimal light.
