I got bored. I'm going to paint my car in the fall, or maybe winter, and I have an idea for a color thats very close to what I have now. I decided to photoshop it, and remove the current paint chips. What do you think?

Here is what it looks like now:


Here is what it should look like after paint:

I like it looks sharp. Paint is also brighter.

Thats kind of what I'm hoping for, a bit more red, but not full on red. I like the color it is now, but I'd like some more red, and I hope my painter can make it up. I dont want full on red, but not maroon either.

I'm definitely not a fan of red, but that's a nice off-red color.

I'm not a big fan of dumps. I liked the way the old exhaust was (slanted cut) but I decided against waiting for them to do it when I had the exhaust done.

My vote is the first photochop you did, current ride height (lowriders get old quickly), but throw on some LX tails. Not the bling bling clear ricer stuff...just oem type LX tails. Maybe pop off the 5.0 badges...and if your going to do a cowl hood later, buy it now and have it painted to match. Would suck to have to repaint and match later. Looks good...keep up the choppin till you like it.

BTW, I have seen a copper one similar to the last one you did, and it looked great...but not something I would do to my car. It made it really stand out.

Yeah and a pain in the ass as well. Bouncing sucks.

I've thought about LX tails, and haven't decided yet. It probably would look bettter.

Maybe pop off the 5.0 badges...
Click to expand...

no way!! I like the badges. Besides, I once had a stang with shaved badges (all badges, not sure why, previous owner) and I swear to god 3 times a day I heard "IS IT A 5.0???" and it started to annoy me after a while. So I'd probably leave em on for that purpose. I've only been asked a couple times since I've had this one.

The last pic is too BRIGHT looks better lowered in the last pic.

Yeah, I dont know about the lowering. I want to level it at least, and maybe give it some rake.
