Are you entering your car into the show? I ask because apparently some think it is an ultra exclusive VIP event that most of us aren't worthy of.
edit: forgot, your car is in Germany, right? Well, consider the previous question rhetorical.

Craig,
Excellent pics! Now this is the way to post up a thread about a car show.
Actually post many pics of the cars without any negative comments about how they (cars) did meet someone's standards. 
You are getting real good at this photography thing. Hope to see you again.......Z Fest for sure.
Ron
BTW, thanks for taking some great shots of my car.

well actually ron it was this picture that got me wondering the most
i remember u had a full repaint so i was kinda like hmmf.. but u can see that the metal flake on ur bumper is diff than on the fenders. the fenders look to have a more pearly effect on them, even some green pearl possibly..
thats the spot where all the color matches go bad on silver Zs, even the good ones. im starting to think that that area of the Z is just impossible to get to look the same with the silvers...
do u know what brand and line of paint from that brand they used on ur car?
i hope u dont mind me talkin about this stuff, it doesnt devalue ur car in anyway its a sweet Z.

The HIN photos are the only ones that I have ever seen that show a difference like that. That's why I posted the pic above cause it shows a difference in shade also but starting mid fender.
i wouldnt also be surprised if they used ppg dbu line paint and blended certain areas on the car. i doubt they sanded down the entire thing after ur accident and reshot every single inch of every panel with paint and clear, typically they blend.

Thanks!
Thanks!
Rofles. THen i suggest you have the entire car sanded down, primed, and painted cayanne silver
i really wnana do that with mine hehe. It could be potentially impossible to get it all matched up at this point.
I guess it's a good thing I live in the "sunshine state."

If I see another Z with this bumper I think I am going to wind up killing myself accidentally due to starvation. I can't stop puking......I am on dry heaves now.... I bet they're great in the winter though.
I must say, the pics are HAWT and I wish I could have been there. I miss living in Orlando
