Further explaination of the theme by bmxmitch.

"Show your most pimpin car. Extremely low and with nice rims and colours. What car you use
is totally your choice, as long as you think it looks sweeeet!" :)


Cars: Any production car
Locations: Any.
Phototravel: Yes.
Unique Restrictions: As long as it has shiny or crazy colours, you're good.
I wouldn't recommend a car like a Prius or Mini, no Pimp would drive them...

Please, ensure you read and understand all requirements for this competition. Failure to follow
the rules may result in disqualification. If you have questions, send me a Private Message.

This Thread will answer many possible questions you may have.


  • Entries for the competition this week must be sent to the Judge bmxmitch Via
    Private Message and not posted in this thread, any pics posted in this thread will not be
    considered for the poll. Use the Submit Entry button to ensure your entry goes to the judge.
  • Your PM must consist of a preview image no bigger than 500px at the largest side with a
    direct link to the full size image.
  • Your first entry will be your last, you will not be allowed to change your entry so be happy
    with it.
  • One entry per user. It must be your own work, and never previously used in a competition.
  • Do not use a photo from your Gallery or post your photo shoot in your Gallery until after
    the competition (and poll if you made it) has closed.
  • Preview images can not exceed 500 pixels in either direction.
  • A preview image must be representative of the full-size image. Do not add effects to it.
  • Winner chooses the following week's theme and becomes Judge for that week.
  • Winners cannot enter in their own theme!
  • The Judge will select the top 10 entries and PM to the Host for the poll.
  • The poll entries will then all be hosted by me so that links cannot be traced to the owner
    of the photo.
  • The Host may ask for the original image and it must be submitted if so.
    It's recommended to save the original image (preferably in-game) until week's ends.
  • It is recommended you host your image on ImageShack, Photobucket, or Flickr.

What you may not do to a photo:


  • Alter the geometry of the car. No stickers, or body modifications not available in game.
  • Add shapes or objects from outside of GT5.
  • Add a signature or personal watermark.
  • Add lens flares or "artistic" filters to image.
  • Remove items from shot (scenery, other cars).
  • Use more than 1 image (HDR, photo-stitching, multi-exposure).
  • "Creative cropping". The main "image" must be four-sided, with 90-degree, upright corners.
  • Selective car colour changing: masking different parts to create racing stripes or similar.

What you may do to a photo:


  • Crop and/or resize an image.
  • Adjust the level or curve values.
  • Alter the colour tone of the image (gradient maps, photo filters, colour balance, etc).
  • Car body colour change (all stickers/design features must remain, see "Remove Items" rule).
  • Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, shadow/highlights.
  • Enhance shadows or highlights (dodge and burn tools in Photoshop, for example).
  • Add noise and/or diffuse glow.
  • Add a post-game tilt-shift blur, or apply a motion blur to a stationary Photomode shot.
  • Make use of Layer Blend Modes.
  • Use a Sharpening filter and/or tool.
  • Scale or enlarge rims.
  • Remove or modify license plates.
  • Remove the GT watermark.
  • Clean up or fix jaggies, texture pixelation, or colour separation.
  • Add a vignette effect.

Failure to follow these rules will result in ignored entries and/or disqualification!

No prius? I'm sure there's at least one Pimp who is concerned about the environment :P
Well, maybe the Pimps changed nowadays...:lol:

Thats exactly the reason I chose the theme. There are some really fancy colours now! :dopey:

I really wanted to enter this week such a cool theme but I sadly have to pass, The new update wiped all my 600+ photos :(.

Didn't you copy them to the XMB menu?
One thing you could try is the "rescue data" option, it saved about thirty of my lost online race replays in under 5 minutes. Just in case you didn't know (I think you do?).
 
Just curious, how many entries have you received so far?

around 20 I think...or less? Not that much, but enough awesome rides for an Epic Top 10 poll! ;)

edit: I counted them....exactly 20 images!


Competition closed! Sorry for those who didn't made it....
