Mikal 4 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 I hope this sort of thread hasn't been done before... But... I'm home most days of the week as I am currently a "job seeker" and i spend a lot of my time reading through bimmersport. I know there are a lot of skilled photoshopers out there that like to modify their cars so I have made this thread so you can show off your photoshop skills and show us the look you are going for with your car... I'm not the best photoshoper and have an incredibly slow PC this teamed with my impatient nature means its a little messy but you get the idea, here is the look I'm aiming for with my 328i... ps. I know its extremely dirty but dust and butterflies seem to attract to my car when I drive... along with birds car at present: hopefully it will one day look something like this: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M325is 0 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 So you tinted it, made the wheels black and sacked it? Forget the last mod, it looks sh*t, keep it at the height it is now. Other 2 mods are sweet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikal 4 Report post Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) Didn't mean to go that low, but my computer starts to go super slow the longer i use photoshop I nudge it down with a number of hits to the arrow key on the keyboard and after minutes of waiting thats where it ended up... just wanted to save it before the computer froze Thats the plan though, tinted, black wheels with the blue lip to be different from all the black/polished lip wheels around these days, I do want to go a little lower at the front so the gap between the wheel and guard looks more the the back wheels, also blacken the grill edit: there are some other minor mods like the slightly darker headlights and tidied up the trim to look darker too.

zenetti 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2009 Thats the plan though, tinted, black wheels with the blue lip to be different from all the black/polished lip wheels around these days, This style was the "new look" at SEMA in 07 from memory. Black wheels with colour coded lips to match your car. Last year there were literally thousands of cars in the US with this look. In good old little NZ it takes about 3 years for the trend to filter down here. I would say next year this will become quite popular. We have been holding off on ordering wheels like this but are seriously considering it towards the end of th eyear. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
