Bad Venge, any suggestions?

I'd probably paint the mirrors and INSIDE the headlights and the brake calipers to match too _____________________________ http://www.fokispg.com/Jeff%20Wey/picsframes1.htm (in reply to noregrets) Post #: 5

Clean you car is number one [my expertise is in automotive phototography but there are things that should translate to car shows] If you have room be creative, place you car in "the pose" [turn your car so it's best angle is what people see first] turn the tires in to show off the wheels. I also jack the car up and rotate the wheels so the spoke pattern matches the other wheels pattern [ easy to do, place the valve stems at the top so the valve stem is less visible and it assures each wheel is in the smae palce] the other big thing is lighting. Try diferent accent lights to help bring out that visual perfection. (in reply to bad venge) Post #: 6
