Stanceworks Exclusive: Prtaino's E36 M3

[Pswirley]

For those of you who don't know prtaino is a former Marine now living in the SD area. He is a huge fan and supporter of the StanceWorks movement and a pretty fun guy to just hang out with. I will let him handle the questions on the car, I will take the crits on the photos.

Enjoy.

nice microfiber-fibers on the decal lol

and casey, photobucket just ain't cutting it for your photos for some reason, the wheels look pretty pixely in most of the pics. are you letting photobucket resize the images when you upload?

[Pswirley]

No, I am resizing on edit to meet photobucket requirements. All of the pics were off as far as exposure and they got grainy trying to pull them back into exposure. My camera was not metering properly and I had some issues. I later found out the cause of the problem and fixed it, but it was too late.

These pics seem to be a step backwards for you Casey.

Car looks pretty good

[Pswirley]

Piss off. I know

[M.Burroughs]

What Sean said.

Car looks pretty good. Not a huge fan of the wheels, but its a good looking car nonetheless.

Needs to lose the center caps, but it's otherwise a nice looking car.

This shot, IMO, was money.

[Pswirley]

Mike, can you give me a call as I would like to ask you some questions about these pictures to make sure that I went about correcting the problem right before spending another morning getting worse photos. I am pretty disappointed in myself because Pedro made a good 45 minute drive to get a nice set and this was bad.

[M.Burroughs]

I'll shoot you a call later this evening.

I like the car !!!!!! Loose the caps though, rockin reps is bad(Pot meet keetle) but trying to pass them as real is even worse.

[Pswirley]

Any better??

+1, those caps make my BBS LM098's sad. If he's looking for a real set, I'll hook him up since all I ever see when I look at this car are the centercaps. Fakin the funk FTL.

Any better??

muchhh better crop than in the first post! still seeing minor pixelation along the seam between fender and hood and some on the inside of the spokes. but that's just being nit picky

[Pswirley]

Either way, I got tore up by my camera yesterday. I wouldn't have even posted these if I didn't feel as if I owed it to Pedro.

[Gottalovethexi]

hope you don't mind, but i edited that last crop some more, mostly cleaned it up with the good ol' stamp. also adjusted levels on all the lights to make them pop a bit more and look a little more cripser.
