that red is not bright enough.. I want something similar to this (But not candy)

[The Ren]

satin what? satin black?
No.. my wheels are called "Satin" its the chrome gt3s with a "tint" on it to make them look a bit darker which SSR called Satin :D

Yes but see the way it looks under the light??? thats kinda how i want mine to look.. more like the first pic I posted...

[PSINXS]

i say u go with that color but i might try to eat your supra.

[speedminded]

Go wingless with matched lower rocker panels in a pearled out bright red. With the wheels i'd go black chrome...not gloss black but polished with a black clear coat over it keeping the polished lip :)

[The Ren]

Ok did a little fixing with the color

I LIKE THE INTERIOR!!! Make sure not to paint the suds on the rims when/if you paint them black

[Dragonfly5338]

not a big fan of the crazy paint, keep the stock color. red w/ black wheels & polished lip looks good, tho.

[SEAN]

I had black with polished lip for the last year and felt it blended in too much...I changed my rims to a brushed aluminum with lip 6 months ago and love how the new rims add detail instead of blend in...both styles look great but it is all about what you like...I changed after going to several car shows and seeing everyone and their mother with the same rims...I like to be different...

[Nitro]

LIKE IT :crazy: YUMMY !!

[5thgcelica]

doo it...
and black chrome, or chrome wheels look good.. and tint it!

How do you photoshop the different colors onto the car so well? Whats the trick in photoshop?

You really just have to play with it.. If you need a chop done I would be willing to try it for you

[UpSideDownDesi]

i know one thing.........paintjob is gonna be exxxxxxxxxxpensive as hell lol (i think).

How do you photoshop the different colors onto the car so well? Whats the trick in photoshop?
Use the polygono lasso tool to select the painted areas (ONLY the painted areas and zoom in a lot so you get a nice selection, as smooth as possible). Then the next step is how I do it (some do it a different way, but i find this way to be the most realistic and effective). Go to image --> adjustments --> gradient map. This keeps the current gradient (IE the shadows and highlights), but changes the colors. Then you are going to want to have pure white all the way on one end, either the right or left of the gradient depending on what your computer is set to. Then pick a color for the darker areas, you can drag the window of the color picker over to the side and just move the curser around the different colors and see what looks the best. Some will tell you to play with the hue and saturation, but i have always found that to provide a very unrealistic color scheme.

[PhAtBoYMr2]

[Darling Nikki]

I will be honest. I like it a lot. Color is perfect.

[Repost Squintz]

[Tracy]

[SOHC MONSTER]

I'm in love with the brilliant red. Absolutly love it. I'd go red. But keep your wheels how they are now. They're just like the ones I just bought. Mine are satin silver.

[Curbow_USMC]

looks good IMO

[The Ren]

I tweaked a couple of other things on the chop.. got bored this morning and I am really liking this new look...

[The Green Monster]

i'm liking the c/f hood and side skirts...i think if you get the side skirts tho...you should get the front lip c/f too

[Buford®]

Keep the wheels polished. I like the CF hood look and everything. Black is played out, in my opinion.

[YoshiFD3S]

I say paint it that color and ditch the rims, honestly.

They look...cheap...on a car that....NOT-so-cheap....

>____>

[The Ren]

The rims i have on the car are actually pretty expensive wheels.. I decided im ganna keep the satin rims.. but im feeling the whole cf theme.. i dunno we shall see..

[Easter Bunny]

Yea, I agree w/this guy. I'm not trying to offend you/the car, but I think that rims make or break a cars exterior appearance... And those rims just don't make it.
