Great photos. The steering wheel and rims aren't my style but otherwise looks great.

Wheel looks like it is kalahari and the rest of the interior looks brownstone. Wheel looks great but appears not to match.

No its brownstone. The lighter color matches the thread used in Brownstone. The interior came off lighter then actual..

Good observation, by the way

I think it would look better if the "suede" part were really brownstone rather than the thread color. Just MHO. Did you order the wheel this way?


Cheers.

Those HRE rims are spectacular. Best NRB I've seen.

They all look overexposed to me. Not sure that the bright-white background is the best to showoff NRB.

Since you live near me why don't you PM me and I will hook you up to the photographer. Then you can tell him that. Let me watch

I tend to agree on the white being too dominant for a color that subtle , as long as you are satisfied that is what counts. Since you apparently have piles of $$ laying around to do this sort of thing you should try and have this amazingly beautiful car shot outdoors where the natural sunlight brings out the detail and subtle accents in your paint...just a thought
nice car !!!

No offense -- you have a beautiful car -- but those 'professional' photos are mediocre, at best.

I am really happy with these sample photos. They have not been photo shopped as of yet. There are about 200 and I just picked a few to show. If someone wants to be critical of the pictures I have no problem with that. The photographer might , but I do not. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, if I was sensitive I would not have posted them. Feel free to voice what you feel..

They are much better than anything I could ever take. But the steering wheel looks out of place color wise.

Cheers
