Thanks. It's amazing how much 1 minute in Photoshop can help a photo.

Forgot to post: The last pic is 5th gear cruising. I sit right just under 3k rpms for 65mph and around 3200 for 70mph.

 
That thing has a perfect stance IMO. Looks fantastic with the BBS wheels too. I would kill to get my hands on a set of those...

 
Very nice.

I'm actually higher than most people on the Prodrive springs, just luck I guess but I agree, it's sitting pretty.

*takes wheels and hides!*

 
shes lookin good trevor. make sure to hit alt+shift+E when you're done to flatten all layers and then save as a jpg instead of a larger png when you're leaving photoshop.

 
I'm going to have to make sure that my car doesn't see these pictures...she'll get very jealous!!!

Any quick tip for making borders? I just ended up doing it in paint, you can see they are not perfect.

This is only elements btw.

 
^ besides the dash pieces it looks like stock only dirtier and more dog hair.

Now for todays project... my inner ricer has been urging me to do this for some time:

Hand shaped this carbon fiber sheet tonight, attached using some bumper/fender liner clips I had laying around:

I plan on adding decals for the brands I'm running, possibly like pictured, still playing with the layout. Prodrive decal has to go on radiator shroud because it's black letters.

borders are easy in photoshop, hopefully its the same in elements.

select the whole picture (control + A),

under 'edit', select 'stroke' and select the color and width you want. i think mine is about 20-30pixels wide. at full res, 8px at web size. if you always resize your pics to the same size, or always leave them full res then you can make a file with the border on it but the center part transparent. then just paste the border over all your images.

 
it'll be interesting to see how the CF sheet and the newly cut vinyl both handle the underhood heat

esp that CF over turbo area

Yep!

I have plenty of spares of the vinyl, but I'll still probably just throw the cf on for a few days and see what happens.

 
It's all done. Out of paranoia I took a scrap piece of cf and baked it in the oven for 15 minutes @ 300 degrees; no effects whatsoever. We'll see how the vinyl holds up now but I'm not too worried.

OK well the cf sheet and vinyl both held up just fine, but they are off the car now to make room for other things.

Today was a really productive day I got my STI tmic and splitter installed, Prova a/o seperator installed, and installed a PCV catch can with some homemade bracketing for the can and stock bcs. You can see the bcs is held on with an L bracket, the straight bar I made is already drilled for my Prodrive bcs, just need to bolt it on once I'm ready for tune.

Here's some info on the PCV catch can:
