Thanks....:)...I made an attempt to tone down the windshield glare and cleaned up some of the asphalt the best I could, considering my very limited Photoshop skills....:o
What do you think?.....

Holy Impressive! Can't wait 'til my b-half gets home from work to show this to him!
Awesome photos!

These are very well done z06 - great job and yeah....nice wheels. In terms of your redo, I'm not sure it needed the glare toned down, I actually like the reflected sky.

VERY VERY nice! One wouldn't make it 10 ft with the roads we have here but one can always dream!!!!

Out of curiousity, who did the airbrushing? My husband thinks it looks like a certain persons work..thought I'd ask and see :)

oo la la!!!:highfive:

I think it's better in the regard that it doesn't distract as much any more, but now it looks "photoshopped" and not natural. It does not match the other highlights on the car, such as on the front bumper. Maybe in the original, if you toned down the highlights in the highlights and shadows adjustment it could help a little, but if the are was too blown out, there might not be enough data there to use. If this was shot in raw, you could try to recover some highlight detail from the original raw file by stepping back on the exposure adjustment, but then again, it will not work miracles.

But like Marko said, it not a bad thing.

Does this car get driven? How do you keep it so clean? And do you really need 500HP? Really? :p

Here's a shot of the engine compartment which is also airbrushed with flames.
The motor is custom built with a big cam, heads, intake, and all forged internals with an output of 505 Rear Wheel Horsepower w/ 480 ft. lbs. torque...:DLet me know when you're in the area and we might could do a photo shoot of it...

Yeah man, Ill let you know. Maybe I can even drive it, or trade you pink slips......... That is some pretty good work. Looks like there is as much money in modification as the invoice itself. Was wondering who was responsible for that? There is as much art in that as there is in any picture we can take. Hmmmm, too bad a picture cant capture the sound it makes when it starts, or the tires gripping the pavement.
