    I think I'll save it in jpeg format and have it printed off then mount it myself on foam core board...that's probably the cheapest route.
    I made a few more edits, this is the version I think I'll print. I took out the text reflections and put the actual IROC-Z logo at the top. This cut down on the amount of red. I displayed this on our big LCD at home it it looks killer. Everything is very crisp!

      Did you edit out the background with the IROC-Z logo and your car in powerpoint too?

        I did actually. PP is pretty damn powerful once you learn some tricks. It helps to have a high contrasting background in your photos..also my native pics were very high res because they came from the photographer from GMHTP.

              I think you should get rid of the carbon fiber background so when I use it it won't look like I copied you.

              PS - Holy Crap do they make getting rid of the background easy in powerpoint! And to think I use a high end graphics program to remove the background when I did the images for the MiFBody banner....!

                    Voted. Number one is the easiest to read. Some of the others look like you have an arrow pointing to the top of the car.

                      James, would you mind one day doing a write up on how doing this in PP? I know PP well but never seen anything like this done before. Very cool!

                      I voted for #1 as well

                        Same here, is this a feature only on the newer versions? I haven't really used PP since Office XP

                        Agreed, #1 by far

                          James, I like pics 1 and 2, 2 a little bit better, they are close. Also I would add the yr back into the top, since its not stated anywhere in the details below.
                          '91 Camaro Modded, LSx, House of Kolor Intense White, lowered, GS chrome 18" wheels, 14" Brembo CTS-V on all 4 corners, LS rear end, FP suspension components

                            I actually played around with PP yesterday and made a showboard too -- I didn't post it here because I didn't want to detract from James' thread.

                            Removing the background from images in Power Point is AMAZINGLY easy. Find an image and paste it into power point. Then while you have the image selected, click on the "Format Picture" tab up at the top ribbon. Then the first button on the left is "Remove Background" You adjust a marquee square of what you want selected and then it removes the background from stuff outside of that square. Then to add to it, you can draw markers for things you want removed or added and it works really damn well.

                            Again - I don't want to take away from James' work, here's the showboard I did and you can really see how I took a normal picture of my engine bay and removed a whole bunch of stuff from the image. It's like PowerPoint actually recognizes the "lines" between objects and removes the background from that line - as you can see how it removed everything behind the strut tower brace or next to the cold air intake.

                              What version of PP do you have? I have 2007 and I'm not finding it.
