I like the the top pic too. Dont keep the blue on the ground effects. Looks a little cheesy. Hope it is a 350 tpi. Ought to put the decals back on it too. Looks to plain.

I've been trying to figure out how to change the color on my car using Photoshop 6.0. Can someone give me a quick run down on how to do that? BTW I like the wheels. I wouldn't go with the blue ground effect though.
