Default Looking for some photoshop help

I am hoping one of the more skilled RLs here can assist me with some photoshop help. I am trying to work out some design ideas on my targa project and I am iliterate when it comes to Photoshop. Let me know if anyone has some time or interest and I thank you in advance.

Thanks Frank, I am a bit embarrassed to post the photo of the car as it is the dealer photo from over a year ago. I have no good photos of the car and as such have refrained from a true proper introduction

I am planning on adding 17" Fuchs in silver with Matte black and wanted to see what the star would look like in a 1980 Weissach platinum color.

Again I welcome any assistance and more importantly feedback and opinions. This will be a evolving project and I hope to get some photos here in the near future as she is getting disassembled as we speak.

I did - I have a set as I was able to get in on the same group by as Orp...I went with 17"s. I could get lost in the wheels thread as I like many different styles...the gold BBS I feel would also be amazing on my Amazon green, but as I went with FUCHs I will focus on putting the money into other things. Looking at all of the great cars you all have, I have some work to do.

Still hoping someone can assist me with my little photoshop project. I am trying to get an idea of what my car will look like with 17 Fuchs wheels , and a classic stainless targa bar. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

i tried a few thing but didn't work out
so maybe if you have a pic where there is less light, and not so much of a fish eye effect it works better.
and you want the targa bar in classis stainless ?
and silver/matt black fuchs ?

Thank you for trying...sadly I don't have any good shots of my car...I have resorted to a web shot of an amazon green targa




I would like to see the car with the silver/Matt Fuchs with the black bar and also with the classic stainless targa bar.

Thank you again...if it doesn't work out...I will just have to wait until I get back stateside to get some good pics of my car.

Would look better if the metal finish was the same on the bar and the wheels.

Jevvy, I have been thinking going with a matte platinum/black finish on the Fuchs but I think your Red three spoke design nails the look I am after

964surfer, Thanks for putting that together for me. I agree that the silver targa bar would look better matching the wheels. THe Fuchs I have are the 17 inch anodized silver star/matte black so it should be okay.

I think a light gold or bronze look to the star and rim would look great against the blue/green body...but not sure how that would look with a stainless targa bar.
