There have been plenty of G35's that have been photographed in HQ.

As for changing it every month or so. It looks like it's just an image attached to the top. Use the same background. Render the cars. Paste those cars into the BG. Have the site admin switch up the image every 2 months.

Maybe you misread it. But have you noticed on some forums there's a little drop down menu (usually at the bottom) that allows you to change layouts. (IE; Light Theme, Dark Theme, Light V.2)
Cool, I passed this on to IB to see if this can be an option.

This looks to be the only image that needs to be changed every month/2 months.

Yeah when I went to pull the image file from the banner that is the one I came up with too.

This new G35 Live feature is way too awesome. So nice not having to click "New Posts" every 20 seconds anymore. I've seriously developed carpal-tunnel from clicking that dang "New Posts" button over the past several years...LOL.

It looks way cleaner and up to date in my opinion. Hopefully it stays, I'm really feeling it.
