sad, but... yours still beats most the other colors for the SVX in my book.

Bring a screwdriver with you and remove the front plate and mounting bracket for the pictures!

And if you are getting shots of the rear, either do the same there, or be cool with your license plate appearing on the calendar - the PS blank out looks a little unprofessional for a calendar.

I have nothing to do with putting this together, just my opinion as someone that buys these every year and sees it every day in my office.

I agree entirely. The shots I posted were given the once over in iPhoto (evil program) including a very ugly blur over my plates. If one gets picked I'll bring the shot into Photoshop and remove the plates as well as give it a real color pass before I hand over the high-rez. I color correct video for a living, so like Keith I'm pretty picky about the look of my shots. Consider my submissions a rough version 1 of what I thought could be really great shots if they're deemed worth the effort.

Keep them submissions coming. This is my favorite thread every year.

Brilliant Red is hot! I wish my was shiny like that, hopefully in a year or two I'll repaint it.

This one needs a caption in a David Attenborough voice.

Love it.

Keith they are 17x8 and they are $380 on motorsport warehouse. I would say check for some on craigslist or something. You might get lucky.

I have been looking to find some really clean ones for mine. I was wondering if there were any subaru caps that would fit where the ford ones are?

I believe motorsport warehouse has the option of Subaru centercaps on their site.

I thought they were just stickers I really like those wheels and almost got some from south texas last weekend for $100, but it was like a 2 hour drive and no info on if they were clean. I will find some eventually, for now I rock the stockers.
