:cool: ^^^ It was quite hard to lay down without a haze. It looks like a really vibrant silver in indirect light. Any direct light on it and it lights up. Makes my brand new RBC manifold look like its filthy lol.
Ha that was just a random guess! I have a can of krylon chrome paint I got a while back, when I ordered used 96-98 JDM taillights for my hatch from Hmotors, he chrome behind the lense was flaking off. So I baked one and separated it to paint it with the chrome paint, and put it back together, then I did the other one and broke it... I was so pissed. Long story short that's why I still have 99-00 eBay taillights.

I think any dslr or dslt is good for a beginner. No matter how good the camera is, if you don't understand the functions and how to create the shot you want, it won't look so good.
The other thing is learning the main drawbacks of the main dslr makers. Honestly canon trumps all but their price tag on their cameras that do it all is agood car down payment lol. Sony's downside is the same as their upside, technology. They take some natural things and make them digital and enhance some things that otherwise wouldn't be possible without technology. I'm throwing out a bunch of random info because it's about user preference and the actual use. But as a beginner, it won't really matter. Id just get one with latest improvements that you can afford so that you can grow with it if you decide to get more into it.

I don't use a high end camera and some consider Sony the anti Christ of digital photos but i still turn out decent images. I only upgrade if i reach the limits of what my camera can do and i still need more to do what i want. I think if i started with a really high end camera, i wouldn't have leaned a lot of fundamentals of shooting.

No, nothing at all. Space behind the radio for things like amp wiring and such is a bit cramped but still doable. You may compromise cup holder space doing this.

Bought your......???


Will that engine paint stand up to brake cleaner? Because what are you gonna do when oil drops on it besides wipe it off. The paper towel/cloth won't get it all. My brother and I were talking about this yesterday. I was saying brake cleaner won't hurt. "Ahhha! Simple Green that S***!" <these were the final words of the debate.
