Me too! Every time I see pics of the MB, I like it more and more. I was going to go PG, but now dunno..Nice pix Kaiser and congrats.

I was stuck on those two also, but am leaning towards PG more. I would rather see the darker blue they had on older models.

Wow, amazing color AK !

Finally got a chance to wax my Z.

Discussion Thread: Waxed my 370Z today

Here are some pictures

First some evening pictures with sun out (from sony camera, regular shutter speed)

Reflection

Not too bad for a quick wax.

Some nighttime pictures with various shutter speed (1.5 sec to 7 seconds). NO enhancement was done. I just uploaded them as is.

AK370Z · 04-01-2009, 05:35 PM

Tinted all the windows with 40% tint.

Discussion Thread: Got my 370Z tinted today!

Here are some pictures:

I was messing around with my Canon point and shoot and found this cool mode of taking pictures. It's called "Color Accent". Here's how they turned out. NO photoshop was involved (except adding my s/n on the image)

Please discuss these pictures here: Some more 370Z pictures to share

AK370Z · 04-01-2009, 05:35 PM

This one is my favorite. Because I just waxed it the day before, the shine is amazing!

MightyBobo · 04-01-2009, 09:46 PM

Heh, I know the mode you're trying to use - I have my on my Canon too, AK. But, I think you're using it a little wrong, unless you WANTED to ignore the actual color of the car

. You need to make sure to actually highlight the blue on the body. Once you do that, it'll ignore everything else thats a non-shade of blue, and the blue comes out. Here's some examples that Ive done:

Didnt mean to whore up your thread, but if you intended to get the blue and only the blue, just making sure ya knew you had to pick the color through the viewfinder first!

AK, I'm diggin the 40% tint.

That's an odd percentage though. Most places only 5, 15 30-35% and then like 70 something. I think your 40 looks nice. I need to find a shop that offers it.

Very happy with the 40%. At night time, it looks even nicer. Doesn't give off the "blacked out" ghetto look. Very classy. I would recommend anyone to get this hue.

Yes, it does look classy. I actually just found a place near me that offers 40%. It's in Feasterville, PA. They're called 'Shades Of Gray.'

I don't know if you saw my discussion thread, but that's where I got it done too. Tell them you want exactly like the blue 370Z that was there last tuesday

.

Got my 370Z tinted today!
