    Great pics Jason. The last shot seems to show LeMans Blue and Cobalt Blue looking quite close but I always thought LeMans was a deeper blue. Stunning anyway.

    Re: Artistic portrayal of my Cobalt 997TT

    great pics. I have never been a fan of cobalt but it really looks good on these pics. It looks better when it's dark outside. at least, that's my opinion.

    I really love the wheels. There are 19 too but how come they look smaller than the turbo wheels? I'm sure it's a visual effect. Do others have the same impression?

    congrats jason ou are one lucky rennteamer.

    jason, the side on shot of your car in this thread looks completely different than the one I commented on in the other thread. Looks great.

    chrisNY, what do you mean? Probably different lighting?

    Here's another picture taken earlier tonight.

    Re: Artistic portrayal of my Cobalt 997TT

    Jason, maybe it's the lighting. In your other thread where you showed the new wheels (the one where everyone was telling you to lower it LOL) I commented on one of the side on pics as looking, especially in the front, sitting much higher than other pics I've seen. You replied that your mechanic stated that it will take some time to settle in and will drop a bit. In this pic here it looks much lower than the other one.

    Looks great nonetheless

    It could be the perspective and the lighting as you said. The car HAS settled down a bit so it does look a bit lower than it did when I first took pictures a couple days ago.

    the GT3 wheels are fantastic... so is the color you chose... especially with the PCCB yellow callipers... the turbo wheels suck... in pic. and in real life... sorry guys! it will be relief once porsche will start offering other possibilities... the GT3 are not a factory installed option if I'm not mistaken!

    We got some SNOW earlier tonight. I couldn't resist taking some pictures of my Turbo in the snow except that I didn't dare to venture very far with these PS2 tires.

    Jason, Is that really Snow? I wondered what it looked like. We don't do snow where I live. Snow Tires? Chains for a 997TT, yea sure.

    Re: Artistic portrayal of my Cobalt 997TT

    blawson, dood, do I sense a slight hint of sarcasm in your comment? I think snow is equally as new to us Seattlites. Nobody here knows how to drive in it.

    Exposure settings:
    #4
    1.6" (seconds)
    f/4

    #5
    4" (seconds)
    f/4

    I used a 12-24mm lenses for those snow shots with a Nikon D2x camera at ISO 200. A tripod too.

    great pix jason, as usual...i noticed in the pix of the guages at night that look soo..good that your display had the " radio off " indication...i know that bothered me no end but when i got the car back from having the oil changed and ecu scanned that was gone...when the radio is off, it's off without further adu....and with me and this car thats alot....what happened, haven't a clue, figured it best not to ask.

    Re: Artistic portrayal of my Cobalt 997TT

    Stan,

    I fixed the picture and removed "Radio off" especially for you.

    avi8tir, I used my 105mm VR micro lenses for that shot at ISO 640, f/3.2 and 1.3 seconds exposure. No flash. Are you going to try and duplicate it?

    I've taken quite a few similiar shots in other cars.
