Parking away from everyone else...except @tquach12 since I know he will be careful with his 335.

Hello World! |
Took this pic earlier this week but haven't had a chance to upload it yet. Sure is nice being able to see so many cool cars at work on a regular basis.
Here’s a little test of a shot I took of the boy at Cars & Coffee last Saturday:
I prefer the fine control of Mobile Photoshop but wish it had the ability to do a shadow vignette in addition to the soft vignette. You can clearly see the highlight detail better in the Mobile PS version. My biggest complaint with The Best Camera App has always been the highlights get blown out but I do love the simplicity of it.
Finally got the CF side gills installed. I was really afraid I was going to break some of the pieces, but heating up the plastic helped quite a bit. There were a couple of areas that bent out of shape and kind of stuck that way after the plastic cooled off, but bending is better than breaking so I’m ok with that. I might need to adjust the gill on the passenger side a little though since I realized after the fact that the light unit didn’t snap all the way in like it’s supposed to.
A few more photos are on my Flickr set.
It’s just the beginning, but here’s what the boy and I did so far this weekend:
I also have a set of Carbon Fiber Side Gills with Monochrome M3 Emblems but I’m having a little trouble getting them installed. One of the pieces on the unit that pulls out looks like it’s pretty easy to break so I’m going to do a little more research before I dive in. My fingers kind of hurt now anyways, from all the squeezing, pulling, pushing, etc. Might give it another attempt tomorrow, otherwise, maybe next week. I also plan on getting the windows tinted and tail lights smoked next week if I can get an appointment at Tint Plus.
I have a few more photos on my Flickr account, including a comparison of the OEM chrome and aftermarket CF kidneys.
So glad it came before the weekend, and, I’m stoked that both euro plates are still on the car. I now have the souvenirs I wanted.
Can’t wait to start the basic cosmetic mods with the boy tomorrow.

Pretty cool to see the sky light up like that, but it caused a bit of a delay so I barely had enough time to scarf down a sandwich for dinner before I had to board my flight home.
One more leg...
The dreary view is making me want to curl up with a blanket. Doesn't help that I barely slept last night.

I’m flying through Chicago on my way to Cincinnati and thought this was interesting/timely. Too bad Obama’s speech didn’t help get the bid.

Seeing sights like this every day is inspirational...just wish the iPhone camera could have captured the cloud detail. I love my job.
