Clean, very nice man! Not only the pics, but I never really knew how much you've done to your Z. The wing, kit, subtle rims, hood... again, nicely done :bigthumbsup:

Great pics, yours is the only Z that pulls off the Vizage kit.

I was just about to mention the tire shine. Kelly, pics look great but you got to shine the tires! I think the hood red is much nicer than raw CF.

Which photo are you talking about? I used an open-source application called GIMP (Graphical Image Manipulation Program) which is the Linux equivalent of Photoshop (probably not quite as functional, but several hundred $$$ cheaper). None of the photos were doctored to place my car in a picture where it wasn't already (In other words, I really did back my car in under that archway).

Yeah, you can use these if you want.

Kind of. It's actually in Sterling which is about 10 miles from the big outlet mall in Leesburg.

I actually didn't wash the car before these pics. It's clean from the car wash that Ferrari gave it after my service last week. They didn't do tire shine, and the thought didn't even cross my mind. I'll make sure it's on there next time though!

The fountain picture looks over the pond to the back side of Sweet Water Tavern and Olive Garden, right near the TGIF on the left-side of Rt7 as you're heading west.

This is what I was out doing when we ran into each other on the road. I actually went to Algonkian Park afterwards to get the picture in front of the bright yellow bushes. Those things were awesomely bright, but the sun was getting pretty low in the sky, so I rushed things a little.
