Like it?

It's not slammed, I made the best I could to imitate the JDM Zilvia Kouki wing (I Have one!:cool:), modified the front and rear bumpers to make them extend lower than usual, to match the side skirts and I also removed the middle section on the front, you know, for the intercooler <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

P.S. And gave the wheels a &quot;gunmetal&quot; look.

Okay guys....I've been chopping for a while, but the one skill that eludes me is changing a car's color. &nbsp;I can do it, but I can't get the clean cut lines like you guys get. &nbsp;The color always bleeds over in places and doesn't always follow the body lines so well. &nbsp;I use the wand to select 'pockets' of the body and then change the color. &nbsp;How do you do it so well??

Yeah, it's supposed to sit much higher, but I hand made that one, I couldn't make it higher and make it look real, otherwise I've done it.
I got mine from Jspec.com (http://www.jspec.com), e-mail sam [email protected] and ask him if he's importing any more, mine was the last and I waited like 3 months for it.

Good luck <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

If not, I have the stock one, I'll sell it to you if you want it.

I had the same problem and I would get pissed 'cause I couldn't do it. Believe it or not, you don't use the wand nor the paint bucket, you do it with quick mask mode. <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>

Do a search, there was a thread here on Zilvia.net with a link to the detailed instructions.

looks sweet.

I've played around in Photoshop quite a bit. &nbsp;I use different techniques for changing colors. &nbsp;You can do anything from using lassos to select the car's body pieces one by one and adjusting colors/hues/contrast/brightness/etc. &nbsp;Filter's such as ChromaColor are also good. &nbsp;You can also use Image/Adjust/Selective Colors on some. &nbsp;You just have to play around with it for awhile to learn when you can use particular techniques. &nbsp;The last one I mentioned is what I used on these two, which I got done in about 20 min for both. &nbsp;That's the easiest way to do it, but you can only use it in particular cases. &nbsp;A red car is the easiest to start with because red holds light reflective properties better than most other colors. &nbsp;By the way...the Yellow on my S14 at the top of this post is supposed to be a sort of orangish/yellow. &nbsp;Like Porsche's yellow, or perhaps the Millenium Yellow on the C5's. &nbsp;It's also easiest to change the color of a car that is from a professional photograph, not just a digital camera image or 35mm film. &nbsp;If you have anything you'd like to see, just lemme know and I'll see what I can tear out. &nbsp;Just don't make any crazy ass requests...I do have to go to school ya know!

This was done with the Image/Adjust/Selective Colors method...Original is the red one:
