Not a fan of the fender flares and "stanced" look. But other than that, a very clean Z. Great pics too. (Need some pics of Christine )

Please do, I would really love to know how you get these shots to look the way they do. Very professional and crisp shots. Excellent work, as always.

I agree, looks riced IMO. Not my cup of tea which is too bad cause it could have been a gorgeous car.

So in this shot I really didn't like how the buildings were green, throwing off the pics in the set. So I added some maroon to match up the other shots.

I was trying to not say anything, but now its all I see:





The driver side rear tire was removed in the edited pic and it makes the car look like a three wheeler. Its driving me insane.

small detail you caught! nice! But you can't really tell where the rear wheel is even in the original shot... it's dragging the exhaust and frame rails!

More people need to embrace cloning! I hate little details and distractions that can be cleaned up with a bit of effort!
