The key is to never use any solvent based products on the interior trim. I only wipe my interior with a warm water mild dawn solution.

It's not actually blurry... I changed it portrait style to make the car look some what fake.

I didn't take these photos with intention of entering or winning car of the month. Saw no one was running and thought I try out, lol.

They were simply quick fall photos I took that I thought looked cool.

Thanks man

If I was actually intending on running... I would have def taking photos with my camera, but these photos were originally just for a simple fall photo shoot.

Oh well... I think the photos still capture what the car is all about.

I will never paint my coolant tanks!!!!!!
