Radioflyer's Corvette: Photoshoot Aug 09

First, let me say that detailing your car (or any family member's car) WILL in fact cause even the most severe drought to immediately change into a thunderstorm. After detailing both my car and the vert, it rained heavily for 3 days afterwords ending a nearly 2 month drought in my area.

Since my last pics, I've made the following changes:
- C6Z wheels black w/ machined face
- Powdercoated calipers by Mike
- Neoprene seat covers (worth every cent in a hot climate like houston)
- BSMs removed
- Re-wired underhood....so it could be cleaned
- 99 Targa latch asembly (pops up the correct height EVERY TIME)
- Custom twin-tip "afterburner" exhaust (tips only. I still have the borla stingers )
- Powdercoated brake duct grilles to match the fog light grilles.
- New Tags "A-12"

Photos were taken by my new Canon SD990 in various modes.

"vivid color" mode











"Neutral colors" mode







"vivid colors mode"






Indoor shots: neutral color mode








Future cosmetic mods: Custom powdercoated spears and possibly custom stainless badges....i'll have to think about those

Wow... I'm thoroughtly impressed. Good photos, and nice car.

Car looks pretty good. You normally (or used to) have a bra on it didn't you.

Negative. Got in a minor collision in september of 08 and had the bumper fixed and re-painted. Now it's the best looking part of the car...lol

I only said that b/c a few of the pictures have a "line" on the hood. Might just be where the air becomes turbulent as it comes over the nose.

Regardless, car looks pretty dang good.

I'm not quite sure I like the wheels on the vette, but nonetheless, everything else looks great.

looks awesome i think the wheels look great

ah my dream car, ill trade you my two rx7's for it haha.

next time find a better spot for a photoshoot lol, a badass car like that deserves a nice background.

This spot is great for daytime shots, but i forgot about the lights in the parking lot for the evening. If it's still clean by the end of the weekend, I'll do another shoot *fingers crossed*

Wow wow wow. The vette looks amazing (as always) I love how bright ur UB is even in the day.

Great looking car!

Looks great! I really like your wheels.

Yeah, new wheels are sexy! Nice photos.

beautiful car

the exhaust looks really nice

Very nice...

Looks great! Loving those tips, you finally got them finished? Are those bolt on tips? I would love those with the LED's inside like you did for my car.
