need a photoshop please

[fordrule]

well since i am rebuilding my baby, a cpl ideas popped in my head

01-02 headlights
Painted: Black or Laser red
or the inserts wrapped in CF
I will be moving my HIDS and My angel eyes from my old lights to the new lights

CF fenders (they are on there way to my house, waiting by the mailbox patiently to install them)

I was thinking of having the WW grill wrapped in CF along with the headlights and spoiler.

Can I get a photoshop of the 01-02 headlights in black and laser red, also the WW grill in CF and the CF Fenders installed to see how it all will look and flow together. here are some pics of the car thanx.

that doesn't look that bad

[nadthomas]

Just my opinion but I have never been a fan of the CF fenders, even the ones people have had tinted to match the car a little better. Maybe if you could pull off a pint scheme similar to the Foose Mustang, but leaving the CF exposed on the hood and fenders that might look good. Not sure if the paint scheme would look right on a cougar, but it would be a nice way to incorporate the CF in the finders instead of them just sticking out like a sore thumb. See mustang pics below for reference.

its doable, i already have a lil bit of CF on the exterior( eclipse wrapped fuel door, mirror caps) I was even thinking of adding the CF hatch. I like the look of CF.

On me keeping the CF fenders all CF depends on "if and how they re fixed". if they can be patch and u cant see the patch i will leave them, if not then i will look into more paint schemes

[fordrule]

can we possibly photoshop blacvk painted inside headlights? please thanx

there ya go

i am liking this.....


if i paint the headlight inserts black and wrap my WW grill in CF then it would tie the cf hood and fenders all together nicely?

does that sound like a good idea?

[Monkeygrits]

i say no CF fenders and it would be golden...but that just my opinion..they look good on there too tho

[KnappstamaN]

ive never been a fan of spotted CF on a car, i think it just looks tacky and unfinished. Maybe if you painted the fenders something like this to flow with the hood / grill and your mirror covers

http://i8.photobucket.com/albums/a48/knappstaman/frdrle1-2.jpg

same pic photoshopped... it would turn out alot better but the original pic is of lower quality

[StealthyWeasel]

knappsta's version FTW.

[fordrule]

not bad not bad mike......i will have to wait to make a decision once i get the fenders here and installed

[azbobbybooshay10]

I lack teh skillz in Photoshop (and also the software on my computer), but here's an idea to incorporate the CF into a paint scheme.

Similar to Knappsta's pic, but instead of coming up to the mirror, follow the body line to the back. On the doors and roof, paint above that either a very dark grey or black to "flow" with the CF. Then with the CF hatch, everything up top would flow very nicely.

yeah tahts what i meant to do, i got lost in all the body lines of the cougar.. the idea iwas following was just equivalent to racerX

[fordrule]

i could use the lexus grey pearl that crispy used . it is the closeest to CF i do believe

[fordrule]

after looking at the fenders mocked up on the car i am thinking about blacked out 01-02 headlights and get my ww grill wrapped

[fordrule]

well been thinking about redoing what i have in mind for the car. i DO NOT want to paint over any of the Carbon Fiber . i would like to incorporate it into the scheme.

I was thinking of painting the front bumper the grayphite grey and the roush pieces also. then have a design that goes from the side skirt to the top body line like this pic below
http://a525.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/9/l_65a6a5ddb79afcdd5671cc02e4065f7c.jpg

i am open to ideas. I am hoping i can be able to get the rosuh spoiler wrapped in CF and pick up a CF hatch. so the grey i will be using will be the lexus graphite grey..(the color that looks like cf) on top and keeping the laser red on the bottom.

[fordrule]

any takers. I am going to be home in dec for a lil time and i plan on going by the shop where the car is. i am trying to fish with ideas.

You could try having the front bumper cover and front roush valences carbon wrapped...

[DarkCat00]

You could always use the second body line down from the on I used, so you can include the front bumper in w/ the grey.

well i was working on something here as a base of what it will look like without anything but something to work off of. remember i DO NOT want to paint the fenders at all. I still need to figure out how to do the Carbon fiber to differenciate the greys. I still need to draw the roush kit on there and fog lights.

http://img114.imageshack.us/img114/7057/newpainideaew5.jpg

enjoy

i am going to try and upload the larger file as an attachment. cant do it but i can email anyone if they want the larger original to mess with and modify it

[contrapaul]

Why keep the front bumper red? Are you going to paint the trunk or get the Carbon hatch?

[fordrule]

dohhh... yeah i am going to paint the front bumber the grey. yes i am looking at a CF hatch. not sure about if . might be too much cf on the car

[DarkCat00]

How about this?

I love that Z... the carbon with graphics looks so good. But it is also very dependent on that color paint... Laser Red wouldn't look so hot with too much carbon.

[fordrule]

not a fan of graphics but that z is hawt. me likey. maybe not paint the front bumper and just leave the cf the way it is. i am saying no to graphics...except the roush winshield banner lol

if someone else wants to use the picture i am using to help me do this. u can download the pic from here my modded one (http://www.putfile.com/pic.php?img=7048150)

the fenders look a little outta place

[fordrule]

well here is some pics of the fenders on the car. do u see why i dont want to paint it. looks to damn sexy the way it is. i am thinking about a tinted clear, but it will look a lot like redbarons car then

What would make me go crazy is if you could just get a cf bumper...lol.. call up carbon creations and have them make you one... :-) !!!!!! DO IT !

[fordrule]

yea hi would but that would render my car to trailer queen. or me finding another front bumper and roush front pieces. i admit it would look hawt. but with a newborn .....dont have the cash flow for that

[fordrule]

i was thinking of painting the front bumper and roush front valence the lexus grey and have a design that ties the grey and fenders together. I am also playing with the 01-02 headlight inserts wrapped in cf . that will tie the lights and grill into the fenders and hood

[fordrule]

Its a Mugen RR!

[fordrule]

little too much. i am just going todo hood , fenders and grill CF. lexus has a color that looks very similiar to CF, predators car is painted that color. paint the front bumper and roush fronts that color and thats where i am stuck on how far to bring the color . i am trying not to paint over any cf

Thanks! Online tutorials help, but I've always been good at photo-editing. I just need a good medium!

[hamill]

Why not paint the roof and A/B pilars (and trunk unless you are doing CF one) the Lexus grey, and follow the body line like most people do a two tone. That way the fender can stay exposed carbon fiber. And the front bumper a roush pieces can stay red :)

[Alkatraz]

y ai'm not a fan of the cut off of gray at the door i think that it looks bad. but that is my opinion

Alright, here's the first of 3 pics you sent me- I have this one with about 9 layers, including the body kit, fender, and so on. I need to do the same for the others, but at this point, I can do any thing you want with this one.

Joey, This would look AWesome! Just paint the front roush pieces also. Or get them wrapped;).....Nice job contropaul

[fordrule]

i was playin with photoshop. did a quick carbon fiber on the fenders to see how it would look installed. the carbon isn't the best but i can show a feel of what they will look installed

here is a front end pic I was working on for an idea. I added the wings west grill back on. since I dont have any pics of the roush kit installed with the ww grill installed that aren't the accident pics. this was a idea for the paint about 2 yrs ago....i m kinda curious how this would flow with the fenders and just paint the upper half the grey

[CincyZetec]

that looks a lot like what dan (nadthomas) did to his car. his was silver w/ a black stripe and roush and it looked great in my opinion. i think doing the same w/ the red and carbon look would be awesome.

yeah maverickflyer did a photoshop for me 2 years ago, when knappstman did the paint and picture of his car, but I never did the paint...I was looking through my old pics and saw the pictures of the chop and knapps/nadthomas cougs and wondered how it would look with the cf fenders and painting the top and hatch, just didn't know about finishing the stripe on the rear bumper.

here are the older chops care of maverickflyer

here is a quick one i did of the rear. I just left out the CF on the fenders. i tried to tie in the a-pillar, roofline and along the hatch to the upper side body line.I cant come up with what todo with the rear bumper, if anything at all.....

I will try and clean it up and redo it

well i am going to start a new thread . the shop told my wife that the car will be done in a month or so. i am excited. I still need to pick ups some goodies to finish the exterior and make my decision on how to paint the 01-02 headlights. laser red black or what

[fordrule]

update..

well the shop is getting sold and i need to get the car out. i have no clue as of now what has been done. i was just told the car body work is complete but i am not sure what that in tails.
