The Koopas first shoot

It's been such miserable weather since I've done a few mods (tints, wheels, removed alta lights), so today was the first time it's really been nice enough to get her all glam'd up for a shoot. All that's left for the exterior work is to repaint the calipers green to match the paint, but here she is in about 95% completion.

I really like the 1st, 4th and 5th pics. I believe the scenery is well suited for a green car and you have decent lighting.

2nd pic looks good...but the rubber seal is a distraction. And the last pic...I think it's just too early in the day to take a shot like that into the sun. Underexposing the picture some may have helped. (If you were looking for an opinion at all).

White rims look good on your car too. Are they hard to keep clean at all?

I agree, the seal is distracting, but not enough for me not to enjoy the picture. As for the last pic, I had a version with a lens flare effect added and looked much better, but I'd already gone and posted that version so I never bothered.

The rims are such a pain to keep clean!! But as long as no one puts finger marks on them, the dust is fairly even and not as noticeable. But I still clean them at least once a week. They're already filthy and I just did them yesterday :(

I like red calipers with BRG. (But I don't have the orange reflectors on the arches.)

Can you post it now? I'd be interested to see it...

I actually like to color affect by the wheel...something a bit more to it might be the pop it needs.

I actually like the orbs

I think it would help to put a do a layer of soft light on it...maybe darken the sky some too. There's some color in there that can come out.
