made a little ps, what do u think?

hi,

the backround is this: link

I think, I can get that hood for 1euro, and I think that's, hmmm, cheap

I'm often on circle tracks here in germany, so I'm looking for every pound I can safe, and this will be a great opportunity.

ok, now my car real and photoshop:







I changed the colour of the hood, made the area around the headlights black, tinted my side windows, and made my turnsigns black! there is also a big hole in the fron ahh, and it's a little bit lower!

I think that will match damn good to the wheels, and I like that aggressive look.
if I will get that hood, I don't have the money for a good paintshop. I just know a guy, who could make the "black-mods"

so, what do you think?
greetings

S!MON

p.s. this winter a funny 350 will come, so it's not just **** *lol*

Good looking car, I would leave it as it is. Esp. the hood, just makes it look like your old hood got damaged and you could afford to paint the replacement. I'd leave it or get a blistered hood. I think your headlight pockets look good painted as well.

If you really want a carbon fiber hood, get one. Don't paint it black.

Excellent Photoshop work though (well, except for the hole in the nose... lol)

i would keep headlight pockets and grill as is but leave the hood black. That be nice


Or just paint whole top half of the car black, like two tone look. From top of front bumper to rear deck lid/tail piece. Just at the top of the fender/hood line all the way back. I like that look on your car with those rims, wow, it would be nice

mhhh, that's it with the hood. the sucker has closed the auction before ending ;(

but I still like the idea with the black headlight pockets and lights.

@orr89: like that?





I also made it "real-two tone" over the half of the car, but that was too much...black on that nice blue

I agree. It reminded me of a few kids with civics around here who did a nice job painting their stock hood black for weight reduction reasons

WHAT????

A disgrace to camaros that orange car will never be!!!! Unless of course it loses in a race to an import with a "lightened hood" and a fart pipe! I was thinking of doing a two tone similar to that. Silver on top, black on bottom, only the silver would thin out to a point if you will on the hood. If I knew how to photoshop, I would try to show you all. I build hot rods, not work on computers. Well, I am trying to learn...

I think the orange/purple car would look better without the purple blisters and purple rotors. Blisters should be orange. I am not a fan of purple. I prefer the orange/black look with the silver seperating them. I also think those rims are hideous....
