My photoshoped 323

I was playing around in Photoshop today, and I turned my car into what I want it to look like. The pic looks really good except the paint in the back (it's really faded bad, so it was hard getting it matched). Anyways, I tinted the windows first, then got the body colored better, then did the bumpers, and then added rims. Lemme know what you guys think!

If you're re-painting it, you need to paint the handles, the a-pillars and the mirrors red and that ugly red window frame black... It's not a suggestion, it's a recommendation! hehe

Here's another edit. I colored the mirror and a pillar, and slammed it. I had to loose the pretty background, though so it doesn't look quite so cool

I did some clears for the front, but I didn't like how it looked, so I left them off.

Well, I graduate college in May, so hopefully by next september I'll have done at least what's in the fake photos.... HOPEFULLY!

I just need my struts, coilovers, new rims, tint, and a sh*tload of paint/body work. Long live the 3duece3!!!!

Looks amazing! There's a 323 around my area that looks kinda like that only he's dark grey and his mags are slightly smaller. I like it. He did another thing, though that makes a huge difference for the look of the car... The window frame on the 323 is painted the same color as the rest of the car. This kills the visual sweep of the car by stopping the eye half way across the windows... Attached is my (very quickly photoshopped) interpretation of what it would lok like if you painted the window frame black... It also helps to make the windows look darker. When I first had my car repainted, I had them paint the window frames red also, but in my opinion it looks better when they're black... I noticed it as soon as my car came out of the paint shop... If you're getting your car painted anyways, might as well go the whole 9 yards!
