Progress on my car
well, i just had a bunch of stuff done to my car. i was bored tonight so i decided to take some [crappy] pics [in bad lighting] to show the progress of my car. i haven't washed this car in 4 months, so please excuse its filthy state.
this car has really been more of a headache than anything else to me lately. i hope to finish it off with a few more additions and then close the book on modification and just enjoy the car for what i've made it. once it's 100% complete i hope to have a professional photoshoot done by Brandon Kim of www.speedlimit360.com
the newest addition to the mod list is the aftercooler with Spearco front mount. i think the Spearco stencil was made to line up with the stock bumper because it definitely looks foolish the way it's on the bottom of the cutout on the ings bumper. i plan to spray the whole radiator with a silver paint and then make a stencil of something else and spray it on there.
the reason i'm posting here in mid-a and not in the gallery is because i don't want to post globally until everything is exactly the way i want it and cleaned, and i wanted my BoIz 4 LyyfZ to see it first.
constructive criticism welcome

Rashad, take a look at page 86 in your manual for that XTi. It tells you how to set the white balance which will correct that yellowish color cast you have.
Also, seems like you may have been shooting in Aperture priority mode, Av.. I could be wrong but since all the pics are f3.5 I would only assume so. Aperture controls your depth of field. That's why in the blow-off valve picture nothing really seems in focus. Bump it up to f/8 or higher and/or back away from the subject, and use a longer focal length to get more depth of field. Use the shallow depth of field carefully otherwise you'll get frustrated by out-of-focus pictures.

Otherwise, progress looks good.
