What did you do with your Z today

pedZ · 07-30-2011, 12:17 PM

I wrapped the b-pillars in DI-NOC today. It was much easier to do than I thought it would be.

Took some shots before and after breakfast with the new sony. I still cant decide if im happy with the quality. I started messing with APSM modes, maybe with practice and a filter i can do better.

Panoramic is fun!

So I am back home, after helping a buddy out with buffing his C6 hood. We did Menz PO203 and PO106 via Flex orange and gray pads. Then PC for CG EZ Creme (blue pad) and Jetseal 109 (red pad). All this after staying up till midnight last night applying Jetseal to my Z.... whooo I am tired

Then when I got home today, I finished applying CG 50/50 on Zena. Figured I'd take a break from Supernatural.

Btw, here I am at 6 am this morning applying EZ creme, post paint correction already.

I wasn't able to bring my DSLR, so no nice pics of the Vette. This is just a crappy cell phone pic

sorry. We have a meet later and tomorrow that I'll take nicer shots of the whole corrected C6.... it looks stunning in that wine color.

Oh, come on... I will buy your coffee... and even a blueberry muffin.

My family is from Iowa so I may be out that way some time. Haven't been in a long time.

Was a great drive! I really needed this.

QD'ed afterwards and cleaned the inside glass too.

Looking forward to your shots! I could use a drive too. Took the Xterra out this morning and went kayaking with the wife and the dog.

Don't even know if anybody makes such a thing that isn't a radio/cd/satalite touch screen combo. I want simple. LOL

thanks Fire... yah no problem, i ordered a lexar 8GB USB drive for cheap so i should have that all fixed by next Tues.

i found a 1GB drive im not currently using so i put that in my G and borrowed the G's USB drive to use on the Z.

you might be interested in getting a doubledin HU and just swap the entire thing; that'll give you nav, CD/DVD, USB drive playability, sat radio, rear view camera, etc.

personally i dont really use nav so i just got a cheepo garmin and modshack-mounted bracket. with this i can mount either my droidx's or the nuvi as it's using the same universal mounting ball joint.

i was just doing practice shots today in raw + fine jpeg format. i wanted to compare how much more control i would have on the editor's side in extreme lighting.

i found out that there's really no magic to raw. if the exposure is f-ked up it's just as bad as doing jpg editing using levels, saturation, and some sharpening, brightness recovery. honestly my goal is to hit the shot right from the camera and do very minimal editing so im going to just use jpeg-normal format for now.

it's good enough for me.
