"Photoshop" before you Mod

opie420 · 02-07-2004, 01:29 PM

I was just wondering about some pretty crazy ideas -- so, I altered a photo using Photoshop real quick (not a professional job).

Any other ideas - opinions? Should I go for it?

What I was going for here was the speed stripes of the Shelby G.T. 500 Mustang, but the lines are too far apart...

I think the look works on the roof and the spoiler edge on the hatch, but I think it'd be overkill on the back of the car.

The '04 is already pretty "thin" widthwise, and adding more vertical stripes may exaggerate the narrowness even more.

In all honesty, I think that looks terrible. But that's just me.

Perhaps it's the color combination. It kind of looks like road kill by an oversized SUV. Maybe Seaside with white stripes?

For some reason this reminds me of a skunk...Is that the impression you are going for?

It kinda looks like a partial barcode

I like the idea (though I would never do something like that to my own car).

I would go with red stripes if your car is grey, yellow stripes if it's blue, and white stripes if it's green. If it's black you can do anything, and I wouldn't mess around with any other paint color though.

I think it would be a great site to see on the road. I am in favor of it if you do it.

No lightning or flowers though please.

5 points for the skunk! :P

Oh, and stripes like that belong on Corvettes and the like, not on Prius.
