Thanks man! I will hit him up for sure

The first three things I want to get are: Motordyne exhausts, rims, matte black (or another color) vinyl wrapping. After that I will turn to performance mods...

Actually, do you (or anyone else around here) know of any good places that do vehicle vinyl wrapping? I've been looking around for a while and haven't been able to find any... not even in the Charlotte area..

There's a really good group of guys in charlotte that do wrapping. They are members if Carolina z club and wrapped Brian kleeman's Pirelli world challenge car this year. They do really good work.

Hey Stormfront I got a photography question for you. I have some photos saved on my computer of some of my cars that I owned in the past. I would like to email them to someone and have them enlarged and printed so that I could hang them in my garage. I am doing my garage in old signs/man cave stuff, etc. I do recall back in the day that the larger you made the original image the worse it looked. Is this still the case? I would like poster sized photo's to hang. THanks bud..

I'm going to throw my two cents into the jar as well here.

Basically, it depends on the resolution the photo was originally taken in and what device is being used to print it. A 1 megapixel photo is about 1200x900 pixels, depending on the camera's ratio, so if you stretch that to a poster its going to look terrible...but it's all relative. Assuming the photos were taken with 10-40 megapixel modern camera you should have no issues making them poster sized without too much filler if any. If your photo's raw size is very small then you'd need to add pixels, which there is software to do, although IMO that isn't really ideal.

HKYStormFront · 07-20-2014, 07:32 AM

Rooskey, Brandon covered most of it but yeah, basically you just cannot exceed the size of the photo compared to what pixels are there to work with. Locally I use Spartan Photo to print. They can probably answer your questions better.

Hi guys,
I just got back from Mexico (Merida - Cancun area, awesome trip). Will you meet sometime this week?

HKYStormFront · 07-21-2014, 08:48 PM

Think we were talking about Thursday evening around 7pm. Does everyone still want to do that? If so, someone suggest a place!

(I throw my vote in for Quaker Steak because I haven't been there since the last time we went!)

Gadgetech · 07-21-2014, 09:22 PM

I'm not sure what my Thursday looks like at this point. It's the wife's birthday and while we are both celebrating on Friday I better not commit to anything. If I'm there, I'm there.

Let me know when you plan on having a meet on the weekend and i'll plan on driving up to hang out. As we get closer to Z1, should coordinate maybe a meet and then cruise to it.

HKYStormFront · 07-23-2014, 05:31 PM

Bump for tomorrow night, who's in?

We'll be there. Looks like we've got about 4 or 5 coming right now. I'll tell the hostess that we are "the Z group" so she can point people in the right direction

damskyc · 07-24-2014, 01:45 PM

If I got it right, rendez-vous is at Quacker Steak, correct?

HKYStormFront · 07-24-2014, 04:23 PM

Yes!
