Can someone lower my car?

I already posted about this in the suspension board and did not get much of a response. I don't usually like to double post but this board seems to get much more traffic and it does have to deal w/ apperance so here it goes. I am looking to get ROH ZS wheels and I already put them on my car in paint but I can't figure out how to lower the car using photoshop so my ques/request is can someone lower my car about an 1.5. Thanks in advance for the time.

I think the combo looks good together on your car. The wheels are a good selection.
I'm a Psp user personally but, i just use the freehand 'selection' tool, highlight around the car and then just drag the selected area down to 'lower' a car. I don't know if something like MS paint will do that, mine won't even show .jpg files.

I say you put an air bag kit on it so you can drop it in the weeds when it's parked.

Just don't forget to mow the grass or you'll lose your car forever.

Thanks for all the stuff guys. I have photoshop 7.0 and it is so hard to learn. I am trying to figure it out but its going so well. Deadbird I see that you have paint shop pro is that an easy program to work with? AJ_92RS air bags would be sweet but I don't like having all the added wait of compressor and tank and stuff. I would rather go faster and put the cash toward my lt1 t-56 swap I wanna do. Well thanks again keep the comments and photoshops coming.

As an avid user of both Paint Shop Pro and Photoshop 7 I think PSP is slightly more user friendly. They both do most the same things. I use both because certain things are easier or better on one over the other. If you read up on them you'll see that it is down on personal taste on which program is better than the other because they are both powerful tools. I often have both of them open at the same time.
