    Re: Pics of Meteor C4S w/X51

    Very very nice and congrats!

    Just a question... have the images or the settings been adjusted in any way so as to increase the contrast i.e. make the darker colours darker, and the lighter, even lighter? The Meteor Grey seems quite a bit darker than the swatch I saw.

    Love the images though. Enjoy the wonderful car.

    Re: Pics of Meteor C4S w/X51

    Thanks everyone. Allen has a beautiful C4S and it was a pleasure taking pictures for him. I didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything such as the PCM module which BTW looks GREAT. Much better with Meteor Grey instead of that Krylon Grey. Maybe either Allen or I can take some more pictures sometime soon.

    And yes, I tweaked the pictures a bit. Sorry if they came out a bit dark. The light conditions were REALLY bright yesterday.

    Hmmm.... just thinking...a C4S with X51 + other goodies must be close to Turbo money?

    Re: Pics of Meteor C4S w/X51

    Thanks for everyone's thoughts and your support during my "waiter status". Atomic did a great job with the pics of my new baby...even included my daily driver...'05 Cayenne Turbo. It is true that my car's price point stretches into the Turbo range but this was the car I wanted...don't get me wrong...the turbo is incredible...just not for me.

    I did have the air bag ring and e-brake painted Meteor...mainly to get rid of the last bits of the painted Grey Std. color. Both came out really good...its tough to depict accurately in the pics. The XRR wheels are awesome...I got them in black just to make the car a little less luxury GT...I like the wheels both ways and I'm sure people on this site will also have their favorites. The tips were powder coated black through my dealer...to get rid of the chrome and better blend with the wheels. All in all...ITS UNFRICKIN BELIEVABLE!!! only 200 miles on it so I have some time in the seat to look forward to...got a nail in the left rear at mile 81...quick $500 penalty...oh well

    Congratulations on your car. As anyone mentioned above, the combination looks great.

    I strongly appreciate the consistency with what you followed your ideas.

    Have you ever considered to paint the dashboard trim panel in exterior colour as well?

    Re: Pics of Meteor C4S w/X51

    I thought about it...and also the air vents...but decided that since the door opener handles were staying the alum. color...the strip and vents along the front of the dashboard provided a little contrast across the same plane and tied in to the shifter...
