Superb 55 and great location! South California must be a convertible paradise.

VERY NICE Cyberdrakon! If you have time Saturday, Sept. 23, three of us from this forum are meeting at the Crystal Cove Promenade in Newport Beach at around 7 am or a tad earlier to see some exotic cars and have coffee.

thanks for the compliments guys, i just wanted to give some credit to racercub on the tips on car/sun/photographer alignment. although i couldn't quite get the effects he was talking about (i was there too early in the day) it took me only 15 mins for about 12 pictures, not having to move around the car trying to avoid shadows and glare.

next time i'm gonna try some of the other phototricks that easty and others have been talking about, but i gotta dust off my SLR (camera...) and buy some film for that.

Etyu, i've been wanting to go down to crystal cove, but i always wake up too late! it's about an hour drive for me...and i always wake up about 730...just in time to get there and see the cars drive away if i went....

regarding the colour, i think i've said it before, i hate the champagnish colours, but it was completely different when i saw my car....i don't know why. could just be that i've never seen another pewter 55?

You could use the alarm feature on the cell phone.

[BLUSH] It's nice to know I have been a little help through all my excessive babble.

That one with all the palm trees is definatly wallpaper material! The one with the bumper glint is really good, you got it just right with the angle.

Very, very nice. I need someone to take me in a 55 ride.

Oh no, you need to drive it. Nothing like the feeling you're going to loose your grip on the steering wheel, it's pushing you back so hard.

cyberdrakon · 02-01-2007

here are some teaser shots of my cosmetic mods so far...

V8SLK · 02-01-2007

hard to tell with the dark pic. did you paint your rims?????????

cyberdrakon · 02-02-2007

not just the rims...more pictures...

SiLK · 02-02-2007

That's really nice cyberdrakon!!
Besides the wheels, I see the black fins and you've done something to the headlights as well, haven't you?
The headlights look really cool being somewhat tinted!
Lovely car! Congrats.

**DansSlk** · 02-02-2007

Nice work with the headlights mate
