Quick little Chop I did

[BadMoJo]

Here is an S14 that someone did a very mild chop on awhile back. I was looking at it and decided to do a few things really quick. Mind you I have like next to Zero photoshop skillZ!
:)

I lowered it a hair and tweeked the grill. The stock bumper has been stretched down and the center part removed.

[BadMoJo]

Ok, I have a good idea!! :D


How about everyone use that pic and make some of you own changes to it. See what we can comeup with?!

Looks like the pic from www.edmunds.com - very nice pic though!

BadMoJo - very nice PS job

i think it looks so much better with that center peice removed from the front bumper cover.

This is an old chop i did, minus the wing. yeah yeah, i know the wing is too close to the window, i had already flattend the image and im too lazy to fix it.:o

[KiDyNomiTe]

here is phase 1 of my chop, found some nice rims, and it looks really good on this car.

These are the Ferrari Enzo Rims, so for you kouki s14 owners don't get your hopes up, unless you get lucky and find a crashed Enzo

[uiuc240]

Kid, add the factory lip, some more tire in the rear, and that ish is rockin

I should go down to my local junkyard and pick up a set. There should be at least 4 or 5 crashed Enzo's there... :rolleyes: :D

I just started using photoshop this week so its nothing much.

[GotDriftS14]

i thought i'd try something different than your average everyday change-the-color-and-lower-it-and-swap-rims-and-body-kit-photochop. it came out o-k i guess... :)

Thats weak bro. Gonna punch you in the nuts for that.

And it would look better if you made the front wheel tunred more. But you probly dont have the skillz to pull that off, so yeah. :D

[GotDriftS14]

i tried to turn the front wheel but it looked really jacked up. the original pic has the tire facing slightly to the left, and i think its pretty hard to make it look like its turning right. o well. :p

[silviaparts.com]

god damn!!!!!!!!!!!! how exactly do you guys edit these pictures? how long does it take to do or to learn?

[KiDyNomiTe]

here is phase 2, only change was a little more tire on the back, and the blitz fmic. I was trying to put some blitz GS430 bumper on, but I suck with colors, so i just took the fmic.

Right now looking for a front lip to put on, if anyone has any pics of the kouki front lip, at a similar angle, please post

in wich one?

SiL1480 - how do you do your bodykit color matching? Exactly the way photoshopjunkie does it, or do you have your own way, I can never make it look realistic.

I'm not sure how photoshopjukie does it, but i use whatever i feel...i usually dont use the same method everytime(not sure why) But I like to use VARIATONS (Image>Adjust>Variations) I also use, Hue/Saturation, Color Balance and Brightness/Contrast. For the GS430 bumper, I used color balance to get a basic red color, then used variations to add more red and darken the shade to match most of the car. The bumper was pretty easy due to it's original color.

If this is still confusing, feel free to email me at [email protected] :)

if you want a really hard photoshop task go to the apple computer website ( www.apple.com ) and try to imitate their buttons from scratch
its tough!

what did i tell you about delivering tofu in the s14 takumi. . .

[KiDyNomiTe]

still havin problems with color but here:

- Bumper from R33 (couldn't find a good enough picture of a kouki front lip)
- Made blitz intercooler larger
- took off liscence plate from r33 bumper

[SiL1480]

That bumper looks a little off...it also seems that that bumper pic has a low res. Try to find pics with high res.

[KiDyNomiTe]

Ya it was kinda hard, and I juss took the first pic that looked close enough to the same angle.

But as you can see, it is off center a little, I juss started messing with free trasform to get it as close as possible but still off, and the color i think is due to the "dirtyness" of the pic.

Why is it I cant post pics now?
