How does my car look 5-8 years from now?
I did a little photoshop last night.
This goes along with making my thirdgen feel newer thread. I think gfx make thirdgens look a little more modern.
In case you can't tell, the side ground effects are from an 87 Iroc with Z28 indenture smoothened. Ther are no door ground effects. The wing is extended out a little further. The rims are 18" GTAs, which at this point, I will have to have custom made or import a custom set from Japan.
The paint is a metalic shade that is like the one I have now, but a little brighter
What do you guys think?

I cant see the ground effects, thats an interesting idea about no door ground effects, I'd like to see how that looks in real life or a closer picture

Looks good but ya need to lower it and give the tires some more sidewall. With those tires and rims it looks like you have blacked out Daytonas, and nobody wants that...... Otherwise looks good dude.

Its easy when your paint is already metalic
.I didn't lower it because I couldn't quite right.

WOW that looks great, I love what you have done with that photoshopin. Maybe for a front end you can make a copy of that 90 style that has the light pockets gone so its all flush, its on a silver ta that Ive seen somewhere; anyone else know what im talking about? I will see if I can find a pic.

i dunno about the black lip on the front... it kind of looks like you have two flaps of skin haning on each side....
i agree with you on the flush front bumper, it looks too plain AND you have the added bonus of no turn signals infront, shouldnt be too popular with the local authorities

I am not going to have foglights so I plan on moving my turn signals to where the fog lights are. I will have clear turn signals that look like fog lights. I think the turn signals will look better at night than where they are now.

Put a Formula hood on it and move the rear wing back in and you've got my vote! I've always like the idea of a Formula hood but with the Trans Am/GTA side hood vents graphed in and funtional, of course an all aluminum hood like my Firehawk.
Awesome photo shop!
