Thanks, that actually looks pretty unique.
Maybe a few more parts in orange, parts that are close to the ground IE AIR splitter.
I havent had the car out for a couple weeks and when that happens, i get bored and want to change things.

It should be, I have an alignment scheduled for Thursday!! Put it on jackstands to replace the starter and now it has big reds, 87 hubs/spindles, camber plates, and a new starter

Waiting on one small part before dropping it down and bleeding the coolant system, should have it early next week.

You have to be really good at copying and pasting, and it also helps to have a steady hand while using the outline/select tool.

To discourage you. Seems more for an Import Owner...

However its really more of a track styling then what you currently seem to be going for.

Use the magic wand to select a part of the wheel.
holding the shift button, use the magic wand to select the rest.
Edit, Cut the selection
Paste on the other cars image
Select the box selection tool and right click, free transform
Right click again and "flip horizontal" (in this case)
Then sku the selection so it looks right
Repeat (or duplicate the layer you just made) for the rear wheel

A 2 min. job. To change color just go to the wheel layer and use Image, Adjustments, Replace Color.

Love the dark red. I think black spokes with an orange lip or even just a pinstripe on the lip would really set the car off.

+1, If I were to add a loud color such as Orange, I'd make it really subtle so as not to throw anything else off the rest of the car. It's good to keep everything in balance so anyone viewing the car isn't only drawn to one thing, but is instead drawn to the entire car.

An orange pinstripe on all black wheels would look great IMO. Provided everything else is left alone.

Blue. Try the same color as painter's tape. Would look cool IMHO and wouldn't copy the GT3.

I dont know but that actually looks pretty cool. If the paint is that bright orange it should look half bad. And if i get a 968 spoiler painted orange, an orange turbo fender decal.
Im really considering this, might be a good winter project.
