First post: random pictures and Reflection shots

Hey guys,

I never thought about taking before and after pictures until I found this website. I thought I would post some pictures of my work on my friend’s cars and personal cars. The cars in the photos are 2 2005 STi's, 2003 Cobra. I’m going to start taking pictures of the whole process now. All of the work is done with a PC 7427, with various pads and products.

The cobra and gray STi are mine. And my friend with the STi also owns the viper.

Here are the pictures:

Before:

After:



My cars:





2003 cobra:



Reflection shots - look at the corner of each hood:

What kind of camera are you using? I *really* like the way that mustang came out.

The camera is aNikon Coolpix S5. Most of the pictures were lightly touched up in I-photo.

Here are some other pictures taken with the camera:

Very nice rides -- and pics.

Wow, you have an STI and Cobra? Your friend an STI and Viper? Must be rough! "What car should I drive today -- the really really fast one, or the really really fast one?"

Haha, suprinsingly neither of them are bad on gas. I just took the cobra on a road trip to Salt Lake city and got 26.5 MPG, not bad for 500 RWHP! and the STi get about 20 in the city and 28 on the highway!

Im going to be doing a detail on a 1979 Prosche 930 Tubo, a 2002 911 Turbo and the Ford GT I showed earlier. Ill make sure to post even more pictures of before and after then!

Re: First post: random pictures and Reflection shots

The redfire looks AMAZING all polished up.. I've been pondering the idea of getting rid of my 2 fox bodies (black '93 Cobra and a '93 LX race car) and picking up an '03-'04 Cobra, and redfire is the color I've been leaning towards.. I have to say yours looks great, and confirms that it's definitely the color for me..
