Quick Photoshop Work

[ChazSpeed]

I am thinking about how I want to setup my black MS3 over the next year, and this is what I have come up with so far.

Shave the side trim
Black out the side lights
Get AutoEXE Grill
Get wheels painted WHITE (they look OK, would be a b**** to keep clean)
Yellow Lumin-x on the fogs
And a shark fin antenna (can't see in pic)

Check out the attachment for what I am thinking... the original pic is kinda rough due to the massive ammount of reflections on the car, but you can get a rough idea of the look.

Let me know what you think.

no white wheels.

the black emblems are good. the yellow fogs are good, the shaved side mouldings are good. That's what my car looks like, but I don't ahve the fogs yet.

 

[ChazSpeed]

Yeah I am still questioning the white. I don't much care for the stock silver, or black wheels, so I may just look around for some aftermarket wheels... still not sure on this part.

to shave the side marker lights is way more work than its worth

The white wheels don't look right. I had a buddy with white wheels and he was always cleaning them. Also, I have seen some white wheels turn a weird yellow color after a while. Go with bronze. Black on bronze looks damn good.

 

[ChazSpeed]

Yeah I probably wouldn't shave the side lights but would use a blackout kit on them.

The wife doesn't like bronze wheels, that is the one thing she asked me NOT to do

 

[Kurt07]

Is it your car? If so, do as you see fit.

 

[ChazSpeed]

I do like the dark grey wheels... Like MSpro19s below.

As for the bronze and it being my car, I like bronze less than I like black on black, I would probably do that first.

Vey ugly..

I hate that care you photoshop. Sorry not my style.(piss)

I hate that care you photoshop. Sorry not my style.

Bahahaha! Well I hate your use of the english language (and the pissing squirrel), but saying that doesn't help you or me.

I am really looking at what people like on the black MS3. What about the car would you do?

ya know when i had my protege i told my gf that i was tinting the windows and putting on gunmetal rims. She was soooooo against it, begged me not to, but of course i did anyway. Turns out that she loved it. Now she just agrees with me when it comes to cars

as for your car, if you dont wanna do black, how about hyperblack?

 

[ChazSpeed]

Have an example of black vs hyper black? I am sure I have seen it, but I haven't heard the term before.

Whatever color you decide for the wheels, go with a good powder coat. It will last longer than any paint.

hyper-black

black

crappy wheels, but you get the gist

 

[ChazSpeed]

Yeah that color looks nice.

As for powdercoating vs painting, yeah I would get them powdercoated if I changed the color sorry for the confusion.

always a fan of gunmetal on black for the rims
