P.S.-Hi, it's Erin just in case you didn't know my other alias :-p

I have new stripes! Okay, IIII don't, but my MINI does.





EDIT: I forgot to add - these are reflective!

That's one of the best JAC I've seen, can you post new pics with the rest of the blackout?

@mattsenpai, too

Thanks. Long exposure (15-30 seconds) in a nearly completely dark room, plus me with a flashlight running around like a madman and pointing the flashlight at the car to get it to show up. As long as you keep moving, you won't show up. I have a few where I flashed the indicators, too.

I want to try this good and proper with my DSLR. This was with the Canon SX200 IS I picked up the other day.

I'm quite happy with SS. I actually like the olive shade it goes in overcast weather, it has a real nice metallic lustre (goes great with chrome line), and best of all... dirt doesn't show much in the winter.
