Good idea. I'm looking forward to this one. I have a Mustang to do next week; interior only, and a red 2000 FRC Corvette exterior, and maybe interior as well -I'll find out Monday-

Also the entry thread should only have entries posted -- no comments or anything of the like. |

Maybe to add to that, limit the amout of pictures to be contained in one post -- which I believe the forum only allows 15 pictures per post. A bunch of redundant pictures can get boring at times. Keeping them contained in one post will allow people view the makeovers easier.
--It sounds like a good idea, however I'm not sure if it is possible to show the details in 15 pictures or less. If everyone is limited to the amount of pictures (15) able to post, then it'd be a level playing field... which will make the detailer choose the best pictures to represent the detail instead of posting 25 random, out of sequence pictures. |

Limiting the amount of pictures sounds like a bad idea.... |

Beauty shot are great and IMO should be taken to show off how the car looks after the full detail.....not for showing paint corrections. | | |
