Default Car of the Month Submission Thread October Ed.

It's a little late so the deadlines will be earlier, plus this is a trial run.

Any car with an LS4 is eligible, just post a pic, year model, and mods.

Taking submissions until Monday, October 26th, voting will begin shortly after.

Winner will be asked to provide a few more pics and detailed info for CotM post.

Also, if anybody has the capability of getting calenders made, we could do something similar to make one.

I'll start.



2008; K&N CAI, MagnaFlow mufflers, Badlanz electric cutout, res removed, cat removed, CF Inferno hood, painted rims, completely debadged, and Decepticon wheel cap and tap paddle overlays.

Forgot my Smoke lens LEDs, painted 3rd brake light, and painted calipers

Are we? I thought we were just doing the CotM right now. For a calendar we'd need at least 15 or so submissions for cars, some interest in buying, and someone to handle getting the calendar made. And where's your pic Mel?

You'll want larger pics anyways if you actually get around to making a calendar. Large high res pics will be needed or it will look like ***.

I assume that when there is a calendar it will contain the monthly winners. What do you do when one of the winners had a low res pic submitted and doesn't have the original or never had a pic that's good enough to be used in a calendar? People aren't going to want to pay for a calendar that has some pics that don't look good because the file was too small and it looks like *** when they try to make it bigger. You need to plan ahead. Half *** planning and not thinking the whole process out before hand is why the whole thing fell through to begin with. I'd imagine you'd want the pics to at least be 1024x768. It should be all one process. Not a car of the month and then down the road decide there should be a calendar.
