Your car is looking sweet. Those are some nice pics. Maybe if you ever have some free time. You could take some pics of my car.

Great pics, Im a big fan of your car and your photography

OT Question-that is the Top Secret lip right? I just ordered one, was wondering if it has access for an oil change from underneath as I know it replaces the plastic cover...good fitment I assume?

After using it for a while I love the tripod head but not too crazy about the tripod lol.. I don't like the leg locking mechanism..

too hard to figure out when you are out in the field..

i think imma gonna try building a rig next and doing rig shots

Cool! Pics look great. I get kicked out of places all the time for no reason too! Sucks.
I bought a Gitzo CF clone (BENRO) a while back with a ball head BH-1 clone also. Its nice and light and sturdy but the legs are also slow to setup.

Which remote shutter release did you get? The one had from my old camera doesnt work with the 30D so my wife bought me a new one for xmas but it looks complicated. It has timers built in.

^^ LOL

hey alberto.. I'm a big fan of your car too.. and you're one crazy assed **** driver

The trap door on the lip is cool for draining the oil *BUT* you still have to take it off to get to the filter

so the door is useless..

05-Z: The red hatch mat is a Lloyds trunk mat.. they make it in any custom color/embroidery you want and it's special cut for the Z.. it's a lot thicker and better made than the stock mat too..search google for them..

Dave: I stuck with the no frills Canon remote shutter release.. works great!
Denis: anytime you want pics is fine... maybe the next HIN?

Not sure what U are asking? Do you mean how do i get it that wide? I'm using a 10-22mm lens @10mm.. super wide

shots look almost fisheye like because they are so wide and distorted @10mm

Thanks for the info Mike. Thats crazy cant access the filter! So the whole lip comes right off for the oil change? Do you need to re-apply tape or is it just held in with screws? 90+day wait sucks but you gotta pay for exclusivity as you already know

Your the only guy Ive seen on these forums with this lip, had my eye on it for 3+ years, but when I get money I wanna go faster, figured it was time to spice up the exterior you know...
