A tracking shot is the photographer is stationary, you drive by, he/she takes picture and moves camera to follow.

Boom shot is you mount the camera to the car, move it slowly and take a long exposure (then photoshop out the boom). I bought the equipment to do some boom shots of my car (when it arrives).

Your car is beautiful, very close to what they made for me yesterday.

Too funny. I like the base wheels (clean lines). I almost opted for the the Z51, but could not live with the ride (contributed in some part by the lower profile tires) and was not able to delete the Camaro rear Spoiler, which I think "cheapens the whole car/look in my opinion. Drive safe." Sorry, but I could not resist.

Base wheels look much better in person. Wheels are fine.
Try to stick to sharing opinions that don't insult thousands of other people's personal choices, be it for a car or anything else. You sound less ignorant that way.

Actually, it's not a bad hobby to have, and you are doing well at it. Enjoy.

Default Changed my mind

It's taken soooo long to order my car that at the last minute, I changed my mind on the colors. I had ordered a NRB with 3LT Kalahari interior. Mrs. WKMCD never like that interior but I did with the NRB. Given long enough, I noticed that the lighter/brighter colors show off the car's lines better than the darker colors.

So, final configuration is:

Torch Red Z51
Painted targa
Black 3LT interior
FEY (Carbon fiber dash stuff) - she insisted.
A6
Mag Ride
Yellow calipers with stock wheels

Now it's just a matter of waiting....damn it! Order should be picked up this coming week.
