Re: The Ute Gallery - Part 2

This is my new ute.

Bog stock (she's only a week old :))

The dealer couldn't deliver on the reverse sensors like they had promised though (silly... only available on the sedans, even according to the car manual) so they had a local company come out and install some after market ones for me, free.

No they haven’t changed. The SS & SSV has a different rear diffuser to the SV6. Here’s a photo of my Series1 SSV. My Series1 SS is also the same.

im pretty sure both the rears for the sv6 and the ss/ssv are the same parts.
just seeing them in black and red makes it looks different

I stand corrected and say you’re right. I’ve seen the SS variants in the flesh and from a casual look they appear the same. I haven’t taken any notice of an SV6 apart from the photo posted and it appeared difference. A closer look seems to show the two ridges the same as the others only lost in the shadows of the black.

You’re right, they are 3½”

I’ve also put the same size though a different style on my new Ute.

http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/n.../IMG_2174a.jpg

The exhaust on my AMG hangs out and I thought I’d go for the same old school look with the Ute and hang them out as well.

I’m not sure if I like it. I may have gone too far and think I’ll have them tucked back in a bit.

Exhaust tips are shiny for a reason. Have them sticking out a little bit and show them off! :xmas:

Thanks for your input, it gives me a reason to think more about it.

I’ve had mixed comments from fellows who’ve seen them, a couple have said the tips are out too far but most have said they look great the way they are. I’m in no rush and don’t need to change it straight away, so I’ll see if they grow on me over the next month or so.

At least they’re a little different to all the flush finishes I currently see around, so that may be worth something.

Hey Mate

thanks for the kind comments :) They kind of are, normally with DSLR HDR you'd take 3-5 seperate exposures then merge them in adobe cs4 or a HDR program, those shots were just taken on a $150 nikon p&s, but then put into adobe cs4 and then given the hdr type effect with a program called lucasart, then just auto adjust tone, contrast exposure, fiddle with the vibrance and shadow highlights and bingo :)

Very nice work mate, I've got the camera just need to find time to play with it(a bit like my ute)

What mods you got planned for the loo??

Re: The Ute Gallery - Part 2

Thanks for the comments iloveholden & J_VZUTE. Appreciate them a lot!

They will all be getting printed to a decent size and framed.

I also should have mentioned that none of those photo's are my work. All the credit goes to Craig Bourke who took them for me - can't thank him enough.

I simply organised the shoot:)

Cheers.

Hey toast like those shots as well, that dude knows what he's doing :)

Hey thunderbird,

haha i know what you mean, i got into DSLR about 2 years ago but it's a long process learning all the ropes, i didnt know you could get that many options on a camera!

Yer she heads in before chrissy or early jan, for a mix pacemaker/magnaflow system, VCM OTR and a tune. Will probably keep it cosmetically stock as she's a 20th and i sorta feel like i should? haha then i again i dont know? :P

What you planning to do to yours? if not already done? any piccies?

P.S blown540, SNAP! thats all i can say :P

plenty of pics mate...
http://www.ls1.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=133175

All mods listed in there i think apart from a 1 week old VCM-7 cam package
including a now maf-less tune

Have to agree with not changing the ute on the outside, maybe some better springs and some sexy tint....
