i still need to do some adjustments but the end result is coming closely

Looks good so far. Three things:

1. My biggest complaint about the stock foam is that it is not white, not the same color as the bow and stern waves. Have you addressed that issue?

2. In the future it would be nice if you converted your pictures to .jpg before posting them. The .png format takes up bandwidth and it very slow to load if you don't have a super connections.

3. I realize that English is not your native language, so please take this as a helpful hint and not a criticism: When talking about possessive, it's "their", not "there".

I think this not matchng colours issue of bow wake and side foam, is not always there all day long, perhaps the UBI developers dont have enough time to match properly both colours for the whole day, sometimes at specific times with specific environmentals conditions looks OK

You're right, that does look quite good. I had only noticed the discrepancy in the past.

Cool. As Tonschk pointed out, it seems that sometimes it does match.

i will convert my pics into .jpg

Thanks. It helps.

As I said, I wasn't being critical. I reserve that for Americans and Brits who should know better.
