Re: Thinking of changing the appearance of your car?

Can you put these wheels...

...on this Trans Am? (thanks to Viper for the source pic)

http://junior.apk.net/~viper/IMG_0931.JPG

As close to an 18" looking size as you can please. The wheels/tires on the Furd look to be 18s.

AND, if it's not toooo much trouble, could you do a second pic with the center part in black instead of the dark grey???

Thanks! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Thinking of changing the appearance of your car?

Thanks Justin. Good job! <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Unfortunately, THAT just made my decision harder. <img border="0" alt="[whiner]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> The 3 standard colors I'm thinking about are the gloss black, gloss silver, and charcoal grey metallic.

Pewter Metallic is a hard color to match with other greys. These pictures sold me on the wheels.....need a house first though.

Can you do a rendering of my black vert with the TTIIs in magnesium like on the Tom Henry and the blackbird? Unfortunately these are the only pics I can come up with:

Re: Thinking of changing the appearance of your car?

Hey Justin, I've always thought your stuff looked great, and love the C2K C5 wheels on your car. I'm about to order my LG Motorsports G2 springs tomorrow, so if you could drop it to look similar to the G2 drop that would be great (1.5" all around). Also I'm heavily debating a few wheels, can you throw on some 18" C5s on my car along with a few other 18" wheels....

Silver 18" SSR GT1 - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/image..._gt1_ci3_l.jpg
Silver 18" SSR GT3 - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/image..._gt3_ci3_l.jpg
Polished 17" Torq Thrust II - Don't have a good pic, sorry
Silver 18" Mille Miglia M11.2 - http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/image...port_ci3_l.jpg

I like the GT1s the best for my car, it keeps the smooth look that compliments the lines of the car, but I was wanting to see the others because especially the TTIIs and MM 11.2s are much cheaper than the others. Here are a few pics of my car that should work...

I'd prefer this one ( http://community.webshots.com/storag...4gHlJRd_ph.jpg ) but I know it will be hard to put wheels on, so probably use this one ( http://community.webshots.com/storag...9lJyPpy_ph.jpg )

If you could get all that done man I'd GREATLY appreciate it. I've got photoshop but I can't do a 1/16th of the stuff you're doing. LoL

I left the rear wheel alone because you can hardly see it. I fyou want I will do the other side pic.

John if you could get me a better pic that would be great. And do you have any pics of a claw style graphic?

Ground effects are tough to do, if I don't post then that means I couldn't do it. I would really have to have the car here to take pictures of to get the right angles. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Thinking of changing the appearance of your car?

I wanted to see if you could do another picture for me. It's the same one that you did here http://www.fryrice.com/images/ps/ls1...0thstripes.jpe but with the black with a small outline in silver as well as a smoother transition from black to silver tips. Thanks...that pic convinced me to do that I'm just trying different options before i decide.

Re: Thinking of changing the appearance of your car?

Can you try again...my previous request. And maybe throw some black stripes on the REAR of the same pic you're doing the tires with.

I meant silver on a diagonal, starting somewhere at the middle of the doors and sweeping back.

Re: Thinking of changing the appearance of your car?

Could you put some 19" HRE 545s on this 96 impala SS? I'd also like one with the spokes of the 545s to be black (but leave the outer lip untouched), but no so much that you can't make them out. Also, if its not too hard, could you lower it about an inch or so all the way around (probably about 4-5 vertical pixels?).

Here are some pictures to choose from of the car:
