Yeah...it's all of the black accents. A lot of folks try anthracite and chrome on them thinking that on a bright car shiny things must go with it...but that is simply not the case. Since it's such a bright car, you need dark accents to balance it out. Otherwise, it's rough on your eyes.

Lemans stripes don't look good on our cars, and rocker stripes (excluding mach stripes of course) look cheap.

If your car were mine, first thing I'd do is swap the wheels out (sorry, not a fan)..From there, I'd drop it, add a chin spoiler and go wingless.

Hell, I scrape around here in FL. I couldn't imagine it in CO or PA (where I used to live).

I'd still do it, King. It would look badass.

Yeah, I'd like to do it eventually. But not right now. I couldn't even if I wanted to unless someone wants to pay for that too....?

You all can tell that I was shooting through a fence, I'm sure. But other than that, I think these came out okay. Not perfect, but okay.

You need to make your watermark more of a watermark and less of a huge *** banner. lol

I would have to agree. I like the watermark you came up with, but it needs to be a little more subtle.

Hm..

There's watermarking and there's signing.

Watermarking is placing a large, but semi-transparent image or text over a picture in an area that would be hard to remove. It's used so that people aren't able to steal your pictures and sell them.

Signing is adding a name, url, etc to a photo so that when it floats around the internet, your name goes around with it and in most cases, traffic is driven to your web site.

What you're doing isn't watermarking, because in most of the pictures I can straight up crop out your banner and have a perfectly good picture.

That being said, when you sign your pictures I think it's better to have it a little less prominent.
