Mr. Bill, I'm truly glad you posted some before and after pictures of your baby - before and after BSM, that is.

My '02 MY coupe is in the shop getting a little plastic surgery (a brick wall jumped in out front of me at the gas station). In addition to a new nose and right fender, I'm going to add a painted splitter and side skirts. But while making those changes, my real wonder was...should I take this opportunity to have the body shop remove my BSM's? 'Cause if I did, I'd have the body shop buff out the spots covered by the BSM's (to be sure there aren't any telltale signs).

Your picture has pretty much convinced me to take 'em off. While I like the protection from door dings that BSM's afford, I just think the clean sculpted sides look soooo good. Your before and after pictures make that very obvious.

Great photos of a great ride shot in a backdrop of great scenary.

Thanks and well done,

The Lizzard

Thanks for sharing Mr Bill. My goal is to produce some photos half this good although Kansas doesn't offer the backdrops. Maybe I need a road trip!

Okay Mr. Bill, being a new guy here I have a question for you.

How long have you owned your car?

Mr. Bill, you continue to amaze all of us. Your car is gorgeous. Please let us know the wax/polish you use. Pretty risky with the animals sticking their heads over your seats
Regards,
Jeff

Professional photog/cinematog just givin some constructive criticism here: The editing is extremely blotchy, oversaturated and overprocessed. Too much of a good thing, if you know what I mean.

The framing needs a lot of work also. You place all the interest in the photo directly centered with your roof. Additionally, when given the chance you park the car smack up against the other focal point versus giving some distance/depth. Split the focal points on seperate thirds and you'll have a far nicer picture. Overall, just put some distance between the focal points versus smooshing them together.

That red thing doesn't look half bad either.
