FACEPALM. $250 to make a shifter "look" like something it's not. Wow.

No, $250 for the carbon fiber, the shifter was free with the help of a friend. All we had to do was remove the stock P, N, D, L plastic panel and then put the leather mesh thing and take off the stock shifter handle and put in a new one with a shift ball.

I modded my auto tranny shifter to look like a man thanks to a friend of mine, was actually very easy to do.

Carbon fiber is real too, had it done at the window tint shop for $250, better than the cheap plastic it came with.

Uhm, dude, that car is blue. Yours is not.

Uh, no it's not it's just the way the sun hits the cars and then the pixels in photoshop after level adjust and bringing up the shadows it gives it a blueish tint also because the sky was blue so it kinda reflected off that.

The sky reflected off the front inside corner of your passenger door? Interesting.

When did you get the windows tinted? Back on page 6 (yesterday) you only had 25%.. Now you have limo?

The front windows look to be in the 20% range, IMHO..if it was limo, I don't think you'd be able to see inside at all.

shens. the auto knob has a button to let you switch from park to drive etc. the manual doesn't. it isn't as easy as just taking one knob off and putting another on.


look at that wagon twist!

Hey bro quick question. I'm no photographer but why would you need to change cameras when shooting the exterior vs the interior?

i'm gonna say not his car. i looked at the pedals in his picture, and a few on google images, and it sure looks like a legit manual. not sure why he even bothered putting that picture up.

well i mean, other than the fact he's trolling.

Oh dayum, I forgot to strip the exif data! I should have known better, I had a sneaking suspicion one of you would try to read it. And of course it had to be the Canon loser. Oh well, at least the Canon loser knows that I know how to take manual exposures unlike his failure Canon using self.

Either way, I never said the interior picture was mine, it was just what I would like to make mine look like.
