Your car looks awesome man, great photos. I gotta get my hands on some of that 3M stuff you're using, interested in selling any?

That looks great!

Im not so sure of the tilted pics in the garage, they look good, but they're kinda annoying to look @.

got mine dropped and tinted 3 weeks ago. cell phone pics....

thanks man, my cars actually pretty dirty right now i only cleaned the wheels, you cant tell in the pictures though and 3m massively cut their employee pricing store, im guessing due to the economy, the only detailing product I can get discounted now is their liquid wax which isnt very good

Damn that silver is nice...you did with your grille that I wanted to do

God damn! What camera do you have?

Looks great!
How do you like the Sprint Springs so far? Any rubbing or bottoming out with the stock tires and rims?

Ouch that sucks man, they make some good polish.

+1 for 3m Ultrafina. I have yet to buy a bottle though.

Looks NICE with the springs, dave.

And werner, it's probably not just the camera. IIRC, dave was going to school for photography. And by the looks of it, he's paying attention in class :D

Loos like a nice LS but maybe I am gettting too old as my car looks the same after a proper wash. Again what it up with lowering and tinting the windows.
Also the debadging why not let everybody know you ar driving a American made Lincoln aka Jaguar instead od driving a fricking ricer. Just my opinion.

I have my windows tinted 50%. Not dark by any means, but it really helps out on the sunny days for my kid in the back.

Lowering this car gives it the aggressive stance that a lot seem to like. I just lowered my car too. Now it doesn't look a damn 4 wheel drive sedan.

i love how clean the car looks in those pics, looks like they belong in the broucher or something

Yes, what editing software do you use, Dave?

i like them, the ride is the same as before as far as i can tell, no rubbing and no bottoming out yet

I just drooled with this pic...simple and elegant...love it!! The only thing you need now is an LSE Rear Spoiler and a McLaren Grille ohh and 03+ foglights retrofit and ur done

Tastefully!!

Yes, what editing software do you use, Dave?

i use photoshop cs4, and for car shots like these i use a plug-in called lucisart which is basically an technique of sharping to really get the images to pop like this one of my friends passat

Nice skills! I had a point and click, now I have nothing but with the point and click I found it hard to use sharpening or it distorted the pic to much and all I could do to clean up the pics was edit it in light room and use Imaginomix noise filtering. I assume you dont really have to worry about noise filtering with the type of camera used?

haha thanks fonsito your ls was the first one i ever saw on this site and it definitely inspired me to begin modifying mine

no i dont really have to worry, old point and shoots did have big problems with noise but newer models are much improved, if i had to recommend one i would go with a canon g10

thanks. I not getting a camera any time soon..lol! They cost to much and I really wanna save for a good one that I can use different lenses on.

I got my used Canon Rebel XT for 325 insured/shipped. Couldn't pass that up! Now I just need some different glass. I only have the kit lens (18-55mm f3.5-5.6)

Suppose I'll have to go download a trial version of CS4...

Okay... I'm confused. Which one do I try?

You picked the best LS color!!!!!!!!!

:cool:

Looks good! Like the grille, too!

You picked the best LS color!!!!!!!!!

:cool:

Silver & Black are best foo! Only colors that speak for both luxury/sporty :-D

I can't do black too DIRTY, as for silver that was my second choice for the LS. But we already have a silver Mountaineer, that would be too much silver at home. The Lt Tundra Metalic really gets attention. It seems to change color at nite and sunset.

+1 for the D300! GREAT choice! Now all you need is a D3x...!
Great pictures, great car, thanks!

:eek:


I like it.
