Hey Ynot,

What kind of tint do you have on your car and what is the percentage? It looks great!

Simpsonsrules

Damn man, easy wasnt kiding when he said he was harsh.

I think the pics look great, and im ridiculously lazy so i like it when u post pics straight here. Also, i think the rims look good too. Good **** man

Easy-SLK. Just how did you come up with your user ID?

guofuchen

Voize

Easy-SLK, you have no clue. whatchu talkin bout? crap? If you don't like the picture size then go to hell, why even bother leaving comment here.

That DCR rims look awesome!! perfect tint, most of all i love the 6-fins (piecha-rite?) and the sl antenna. overall very very clean car!! How much does yur car worth now Ynot? I bet it's worth more than Easy-SLK's imaginary 55.

go0d job!

Voize

yeap! I want to know too. Im gonna tint mine next week, My bro did it for $127 for his 545i 35%, SLK should be less rght cos its less window.

Easy-SLK

Ynot, it appears you have a new fan....I'm sure thet you would rather have me, than this geezer.....

Voize

real mature, that's all i can say , eh Easy-SLK I want u to tell me what's a "geeze" It's a cute word!

Voize

"The wheels look crap" what's there to back-up ur opinion? don't just say it and call urself "opinionated"

Ynot

Thanks all for the compliments

15% all around,

Yeah, I'm the same way, I like it better if the pics show, instead of clicking on each individual links to get them, especially when I had that many pics, human reactions would probably clicked 4/5 times, after that it stops clicking.

thanks, yes those are piecha's aerowings, they are of high quality, highly recommended, worth a million bucks to me but I don't think I'll get that at resale.

Ynot

Nice pics guofuchen, the SLK with the AMG kit looks very aggressive.

Simpsonsrules

anyone finding voize and easy's lil tif funny as hell, but retarded? Even though im new on here, this is not my first forum, we are all here to talk about our great SLKs, why give each other a hard time? Nothing against either of you, especially you voize, you got provoked.

NICE PICS YNOT!!
thanks for sharing

Ynot, I too enjoy the pics w/o having to go thru a link, but for people with less than fast broadband you could help (if you are going to post a good number of pics) and compress them more. For web viewing you can't really tell the difference.

Here is your original (pic#1) at ~300KB and here is the same one (sized to a standard 800x600) compressed more, resulting in about a ~60KB size.

Don't think anyone could tell the diffence in quality. So your posts of 21 pics that was >6MB download would have been around a 1.3MB download.

later....



Size is 317KB

Next one is 65KB.

Ynot

thanks for the tip blofin, I did that for the last set of photos and it didn't turn out right, it seems a bit compressed, it didn't look good at all so, I decided to
do it right this time by going to 1024x683

here's what I mean, at 800x532, look at the wheels, it looks out of focus, compressed too much. I gave the other benz forum a 56K warning, I didn't do it with this site. I guess I should have.

clkcadet

wow, looks great! your car looks marvelous with those wheels! i enjoyed those pictures greatly.

Note: if your not interested in digital photo issues skip this post.

Ynot, hmmm, not sure what happened to that one, but yes way over compressed. Your are seeing JPG compression artifacts ("jaggies").

As you know there are two things you can do to pics. Resize them (ie. make them smaller like 800x600). Resizing in general will NOT cause pics to lose much quality (talking about web posting, not printing). The other is the file compression (sometimes called JPEG quality). This can introduce the quality errors yours has.

Not sure what program you used. I'm on my work computer and don't have any of my better photo tools, I just used the Windows XP Resizer PowerToy (free from MS). As you can see in the example I did, even though the pic was half the file size of your example, it did not have the quality issues.

Trying playing around with the JPEG quality in your program, or use a different program.

Ynot

I was using Microsoft Photo Editor on Windows 2000, that was the only software I had at work to resize, it did an awful job of resizing. Another thing was I had ppl ask if they could use my pics as wallpaper and I thought 800x600 is a bit small for that purpose nowadays.

i heard that you will get rattling problems esp on the hardtop when you lowered your slk?

Voize

never heard such problem though, but maybe. The original AMG lowering suspension doesnt make any rattling sound.

Easy-SLK

Hello simpsonrules. I chuckled to myself when you said that Voize was provoked. Can I suggest you take a look here
