Very well detailed and well described as well. They should've spent a bit more time cleaning up the engine bay though. Nice Cup 1's, although they're crying out for colored crest caps.

The loading program of the matrix.

I agree on the colored center caps. Though it's it not bad if you look at the car as a whole.

Only explanation I can think of is that somebody set up a green or blue sheet around/behind the car for easy photoshopping of the background, rather than find one that looked good...because it would be a bitch to erase it that cleanly otherwise...

No, it's a set, with a seamless floor and lighting panels in the ceiling. Probably purpose-built for this kind of work (large objects).

Whoa, hey guys, this is my car! I didn't think I could post it on here, and I have a friend (951 owner) who was going to put it in the classifieds for me...

I work at Nissan North America, and I snuck into our studio to take the photos...

Yeah, I have tried to clean the valve cover multiple times to no avail. Had a HCV rupture and coolant exploded from the headers and obviously stained the valve cover (pretty upset about it).

Other than that, thanks for the compliments! I have put much time and money into this baby, and unfortunately need to sell it because I am going back to school for my MBA. Was planning on keeping this car for the long haul, but my change of plans has dictated the sale.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers

GD

Oh, and I have the colored center caps. I had the wheels refinished last year, and the shop went with a "lighter" color without consulting me, so the caps no longer matched.

I was quite furious to be honest, because I know how valued they are. But I can't say the wheels look bad (especially compared to the state they were in).

Nice, I might not be too far behind. Good luck!
