Here's a little sneak preview of what I've been working on with my car the last few weeks. Hopefully final touches will be done this weekend, with a nice little photoshoot to follow next week. I'll include a "before" pic for those of you not familiar with my car. Original color is 199 Alpine Silver; new color is 1D6 Silver Sky Metallic. I love it.
October 2007 - at this point I'd had the car just about 3 months:    June/July (?) 2008, fresh tint, JDM fogs and 1 day lowered on TRD springs:  December 2009, not really anything different on the outside aside from custom projector retrofit and clear sidemarkers (and new license plate lol): (fun with tonemapping, too)  June 2010 (borrowing this pic from MotY thread!) - about 4 days after having a little... oopsie with my car (obviously that's not me in the pic):  July 2010 - fresh paint, JDM headlights installed since February, replaced bumper and damaged front fender (cell phone shots, sorry):   Night time cell phone shot, sorry for the poor quality:  Final updates shot with a real camera to come!

Well, I'm sad that you left the 199 club...but at least not the silver club! Looks fantastic Minxy.

Looks good!
I see you decided to get real projectors instead of the DIY ones, much nicer IMO. Your cars coming along nicely, can't wait to see what else you have planned. -------------------- "A true car enthusiast can see the potential in any car"

Okay, I've only got one more to kick down for right now, again, cell phone shot, but this weekend I'm heading out on a tiny road trip to take some good shots, so I'll post what I get next week. Actually, I'll include a few more (high res) shot that I took, but they're pre-skirts—still nice shots IMO.
Mid-August after a night spent shooting the Perseids meteor shower:  About 2 weeks later at Crater Lake, Oregon (the namesake of my license plate lol):  And, crappy cell-phone shot w/my neighbor's creepy back yard behind it & blurred out because it's that creepy:  -------------------- |

And I'll toss in a bonus interior shot, just for the "full effect". Still haven't reupholstered the interior, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for this winter.
December 2009, pre-steering wheel swap, pre-short-shifter & pre-completion of power window conversion (note the difference between the door cards on d/s and p/s, & wires hanging down!):  Night time shot:  Updated interior to follow w/better exterior shots!

Looks real good Griff. I'm still echelons behind you, but the operation is underway. :-) I'll make my own thread about it when it's done.
