When I originally took a test drive both cars had the clear side markers. That was why I asked the dealer about them. Plus I recently saw the post too.

Francisco has been teasing with pictures today on the color correction. Looks like a beautiful deep shine & gloss.

I can't wait to see my "BABY" soon!

I'll document the progress in a new post once I get her back.




light blemishes in the finish.


Color correction noting the deep shine.

This is interesting as I thought model year flipped on 7/1 from '18 to '19's. The '19s have last 4 digits of VIN's starting in 3xxxx as well.

My T, which I should have in next week or two as it's at the port here in U.S., is a '19.

Miami Blue is beautiful.

But don't put down your Nikon Forget about playing with the white balance, though you could try putting it on the setting that looks like a light bulb. In fact, take a pic of a blue sky that way and you will see how dark blue it gets.

All you need do is notch down the exposure a half stop or a full stop and it will render that Miami Blue perfectly.

there's always that. But a famous photographer, Jay Maisel (google him if you've never heard of him; he sold the highest priced single residence in NYC history few years back that he bought for next to nothing decades ago) says to enrich colors, just drop your exposure. He's a funny, cigar chomping guy, who occasionally runs photo tours. He'll take you to some place such as the Grand Canyon. You stand there waiting for pearls of wisdom to spout from between his cigar stained lips and he will blurt out: Go take a picture that hasn't been taken before. Lol.

Thanks for the exposure recommendations. I'll have to try that.
I saw my camera has like three RAW settings: RAW (NRW), RAW (NRW) + normal, RAW (NRW) + fine. I never used that format. So I'll have to learn how to adjust.
Its a Nikon Coolpix P340. Its a great little camera. Its been about two years since I was up to speed with it. Guess I need to read the manual again to figure out what to chose.

I also read a post that said the VIN numbers for all Carreras including the T are in the 3000 series for '19 so hard to tell how many T's or any other variation have been produced so far.
