PhotoShop me and win cash!!!

Here is the deal. My computer skills suck, period. My car is getting front and rear IROC bumpers and it needs a "race like" design of color and graphics. Design me something I like and I will paypal you 100.00 plus win the admiration of fellow Pelicans!!
I may even do a poll and go with the winning scheme.....if I can figure out how to do a pole that is!

Here is the "rules"

Bumpers in a contrasting color
carrera graphics can stay or go or change color
don't want to paint the wheels
mirror, rocker, headlight trim rings are all open to color
must be able to duplicate graphics in vinyl
windshield header or rear window header ok as well

anything else is fair game but I am thinking maybe grey or silver for the bumper color. Mild or wild, don't care.

Here is the subject.....





Thanks, and have fun!!

Jeff

Oh man... I'd either leave that car just the way it is, or put on the bumps and paint it the same color... Looks fine just as it sits!!!

i'm a faculty sponsor for a collegiate video gaming club. one of the fellows in the club is profoundly talaneted with photoshop, plus he tends to dwell in the colors in which you are interested. i sent him the link, let's hope he bites---i think he'd do an outstanding job at it. my pm to him is off.

you have a fine-looking p car there.

Both appear painful. The car looks cool as is. I do like the RSR
cars though.

Cool, thanks, at some point in the future it will need paint and I will probably do it all one color then, but I can not find anyone to match the paint close enough for me right now and I do not want this to get crazy $$ at this point for paint, already spent enough. I will paint the bumpers and what ever else myself.......... Car gets pretty chipped up at the track so off to the paint shop after next years DE season, but I need something for this year.

Thanks again.

That color is both unique, and gorgeous. The only thing I would try, is to color the Carrera stripe to better match the color of the wheel centers. (and that might not even be an improvement )

Well, my photoshop skills aren't that great, so I don't think this is a competitor, but it may give you a couple ideas. I changed the colour to purple, added (or attempted to add) some chrome around the windows and headlights and changed the carrera script a bit.

That is one of my favorite blues. I just had my 930 resprayed and had I opted to change the color that would have been it! I say put the RSR bumpers on, spray to match and enjoy a great looking setup!

Just a thought with kind of a dark silver/pewter color.

Hmmm, I like the purple, but do not want to respray the entire car just yet..... The grey bottom look is intriguing. Starting to think I should just color match the new bumpers.....

Probably a smart plan. Then you can come up with whatever graphics package you want, using only (removable) vinyl.

Ya, that is the way I am leaning, removable has a nice ring to it!

Jeff,

Check to see what colour vinyl is available first as you can always match paint to vinyl. Real expensive to do the reverse. Your car would look even better with a 3.6 badge on it...

I like this one except for the black "background" stripe

maybe make the whole bottom of car dark silver/pewter and have the carrera graphics in body color? (or black?)

Jorian, any idea where I could look at vinyl samples??

Thought you wanted the 3.6..............

He he

What about body color bumpers and an offset stripe front to reat over the bumpers, hood, roof etc......

Jeff
