Those black spots in the upper right hand corner is dust. Just get you one of them compressed air cans and hit your sensor with it. Just be careful

I've had my camera for 2.5 years, 100k actuations, at every major track event including a few horse shows, and never once had my sensor cleaned :tongue:

*edit*
These spots are either on the sensor or the lens, can't really tell from the pics...

The burnt marshmallow look IS NOT HDR. It's level and curve adjustments gone bad.

hey hey hey... It's my first try....lol, I'll get it sooner or later, to me it's kind of tough to notice all the minute differences between each setting, so I just start screwing around and guessing til I get something close to what I want.

Thats definitely sensor dust.

Yeah, I took 5 shots with varying exposures on a tripod, but the wind was blowing a little bit, so the slow shutter speed on a couple shots blurred the tree.

its not you, it looks exactly the same as what nearly everybody else calls an HDR...it's the best software can automatically do.

yea its all good still the best volks! :goodjob:

looks quite nice, a lil drop in the front would be even nicer but i know it may hurt the ride.....i slammed my old one but it did make it ride a lil harsher but sometimes you have to sacrifice the ride for looks but its all in what you're looking for :yes:

i dunno what caused the delay. my fiance took it to work and mailed it out from there, that could have been the isue. Either way I apoligize for any inconvenience it may have caused, but I'm glad you have it in your hands now.

Looks pretty good. Can't wait to see it after you put on those lowering springs. You should also add factory front lip ASAP!

Agreed, I'm going to order the lowering springs ASAFP, and as soon as I find a good deal on a lip it will be mine!

This is my fiance's car, and I didn't want to go with any aggressive wheels, because she uses this car as a daily, so slamming it down on hellaflush rims with stretched tires and modifying the fenders wasn't really an option, because of the likelihood of something getting messed up.
