Have fun with Photoshop, it gets addicting.

Another cool idea would be to take a side shot of all the cars and blend the rear to the fronts using the different generations.

trunk - 3rd gen
rear door - 4h
front doors - 5th
hood - 6th

WETZELISIOUS!!!!!!

nice but why is the 4th gen so predominant. we all know 5th gens are where it's at
j/k 4th gens are why the community is where it is today.
i still miss my 4th and am going to buy another next fall to replace my 92! then i give the 92 to my brother and there gets to be a 3rd 4th 5th and 6th gen in the family driveway!

nah i'm just giving him a hard time just because he used my picture w/o my permission. If you look at all my posts that I post of my car i leave the plates up. If you're so paranoid you should drive with your plates blocked or never drive your car.

it may be public record
someone sees a car online they like
they may try to steal it in person
but i'll be like LeVar Burton and say "but don't take my word for it"... because I'm not entirely sure.

I would have to agree with you.

The pic on the right is just to show both my cars together, wasnt really meant to be an artistic shot.

Well, I liked the rear shot cuz the non-VE front clip looks funky w/o fogs and w/o the hamburger logo on the grill. The rear quarter's great, along w/the streak's in the road and the lighting.

In the collage, the 3rd gen's got some tree shading that makes it look strange, esp in the negative shot.

The white car has fogs, they are just in the shadows and i cut up a VE grill so i cant mount the hamburger logo.

As for the 3rd gen in the collage, it was the only one i could find in the correct position i was looking for.

Looks pretty good. I would have tried to cut the cars closer to the body lines, and not include the shaddowing on the ground, but that's just me.

really?

my neighbor had a 2nd gen back in the day and I don't recall ever seeing the "4DSC" decal on the window....

I mean, the 1st gen was really the closest to a real sportscar....after all, it was RWD

I would have hid the gauge cluster behind the cars instead of just superimposing it over everything...
