The brown in the pics below needs to be changed to the blue in the other pic. Possible?

First you want megan fox on your hood now this!?

I can do it sometime in the next few hours. Are the blue spacers totally blue or white around the edge?

Well, it doesn't look as good as it probably should if I spend more time on it... but c'est la vie.

I couldn't get this one to not come out fake looking. I will probably look fine to someone who hasn't seen the original. I usually do my best work with joose in my system. Oh well.

For Dedee

Matt, put this on your website to boost sales.

I think Scott wins, but only on apparent color accuracy.

Juice was juicing and channeled the Smurfs on the second one, but wins with the good sales idea except for the eventual lawsuit.

Thanks, guys! I thtink I'll use the first one from Juice (really nice job!) and the second one from Scott (looks more "real"). And the Megan Fox endorsement will be used also.

You didn't bother to deal w/ the reflections, but you did a much better job on the realism of the color/texture.

Default MORE HELP?

Is there any way to get rid of the shadow on the first pic below and whiten up the background?

Click on the pic. to get a higher resolution version.

The second pic is okay. It just shows the intake in the kewl new KSTech Cold AirBox that is finally ready.

I think the shadow only looks wrong because it's on the top. See, here it is rotated, with the levels cleaned up a bit.

Will that work?

That is the way I took the picture - upside down, and then I rotates it 180deg. I prefer it to be in the orientation you would see it on the car. I'm putting together another one for a guy in Australia. I think I will retake the pic.

That would work better.... pulling the shadow out results in it looking fake.

I can give it a try tomorrow when I get home. I remember you saying something about sending a set of spacers and intake to everyone who edits the pictures?

If you ever want some semi-professional photography, I'd totally be down with helping you out. Let me know.

A set of 3mm spacers is yours if you want 'em.
