Re: Re: 87 Buick Grand National

I like it but I think it would look better in the photos if you had more light. That would show off the paint more and also we would be able to see the rims.

Re: Re: 87 Buick Grand National

First of all use a macro function (usually increases the depth of field on your camera so more of the car can be in focus) and increase the exposure if possible to brighten up the photos. If that isn't possible try a little bit of work in photoshop.

Nice Gn.. Yes, you need some better pictures.

You hate red?! Have you ever saw Baby's or MannyFresh's line of red
cars/trucks. I bet that would change your mind.. Especially the G wagon
and duallie.
