Convertibles Photos Thread

Not referring to you. Its that other guy that has literally spammed the thread with 100+ images (as he just did to troll again). Gets annoying when you want to see what other people are posting.

Ahh, gotcha, lol.

Not using the thread as my facebook. In fact, I don't even upload many to facebook because most people there don't care about my car. I've had people here ask several times for several different angles, close-ups, etc. since they're considering one or more mods that I've had done. I can understand where you're coming from as well, but it only gets annoying when multiple people quote it and include the pictures. Sorry for any inconvenience dude.

I think he was directing that toward WesleyEng, as he does post a lot of pictures on here (several repeats too).

Anyway, I do get a lot of glare from MFT, though MFT is nearly useless anyway so who cares...:lol: I did put on a custom cut Invisishield (I use these on all my cell phones). If you get their HD (not the glass version), it actually helps a little on the glare as well as hiding finger prints, plus adding some scratch protection as a side bonus :cheers:

Your pic's were perfect. Great to see them.

Now if you threw in a buncha girls in the back seat and posted 30 pics of them, that would be annoying

Did you have to custom order the 3.55 gears on your Vert when you bought it or did you do that later on? I'm finding my stock 3.35's way to tall. Im running around in 1st and second gear to much, should be a lot shorter. If feels oddly tall compared to any other car I have owned and I don't think I'd like the 3.7x's since first would actually become to annoyingly short for street.

3.55's are a factory stand-alone option...at least they were for 2015. I custom-ordered the whole car anyway. I think it was $395 sticker price. Since they didn't offer a GT convertible with PP for 2015, that was the shortest I could get, but I too am glad as 3.73 would probably be a waste and make 1st useless (not like I'm dragging this car or something! :lol I am really happy with the 3.55s...I can even get 27 mpg on the highway with them.

Here's a good pic. All of the bright shinny trim is a source of sun reflection. The dull silver obviously doesn't reflect as much, but on long trips could lead to some serious eye strain since it is reflecting the sun.

This has been an issue on other convertibles and aftermarket companies would make covers for a lot of stuff like this.

I'm telling ya, when you drive in the sun next time, you're gonna hate me for bringing this up (you'll see it and think "D'oh"

You generally don't want this kind of stuff in a convertible.

Check out the couple mirin

Im flying in to JFK in the morning, come give me a ride

This isn't MySpace. Dude, you have a normal black ecoboost like every other ecoboost, its really not that unique to this audience, we don't need to see 100 pictures of it... thats called spam.

But his pics are cool usually on the streets on NY, what is boring is the 100 + pics of the JLT intake or exhaust tips. Whats rude is calling someone out about not liking their pics, name calling is worse. The good, being able to simply scroll past the pictures that don't interest you.

Perhaps the pictures need to go under a different thread or category in which you could politely pm and be cool about it, but if you're going to straight up call him a troll at least arrange to do it to his face.

...I still slightly wish we had more exciting "blues" other than DIB. ...

I fully agree. I am a blue lover so the new convertible had to be blue. SIlver is a good choice, but I had a silver vert the prev. 12 years, so I was ready for BLUE. Just really wish their had been a much less dark metalic blue. Now I have to wash it when it has a layer of dust from sitting in the garage. I never saw that dust on the silver (or my wife's white car).

First world problems, for sure!

I happened to be at a light today on my way home with the sun behind me, so I snapped a couple of real life pics for reference

As you can see, I can still read the MFT screen even though it has some glare. If I remember right, in this similar situation before I had the screen protector on there it would completely glare out the screen and be unreadable.

You are not an offender.

I always try to remember to add a note requesting 'replies' delete photos when I post multiple or even one picture. It would be great if most people deleted pics when they reply to a post unless the original is waaay down thread or there isa reason to repost the pics.

Sure would be nice if the default was NOT to bring pics into replied posts. (Admin, any chance of that? )

The V-6 vert doesn't have as many of these glare-monsters.

I don't mind Wesley's posts. The forum would have faded away without them. I like pics of the chicks too and the street scenes from NYC.

As for glare on the metal trim, never had an issue with it. I usually wear polarized sun glasses.

I can't read the MFT screen at all sometimes but most of what's there has buttons you can push anyway like for heat and a/c and the audio (on the steering wheel)

Had my car for 9 months now and it's fall in the Carolinas, perfect 'vert weather!
