Thanks to NASIOC, mine could look like this...

SC008Y_MAD · 09-28-2006, 02:28 PM

Being a member on here, I see lots of loverly styled, tuned, modded Impreza's, Legacys and Forester and the od Justy

This got me thinking on mods I could do to make my UK sport, look a little less UK and a little more JDM/USDM.
I have had a little play with photoshop with some of the planned mods I hop to do:

16" UK Turbo alloys painted in matt black
H&R 50mm lowering springs
STi6 Front lip left matt black
STi4 midlevel spoiler
Hella Supertone Horns

What do you guys think

Looks good. I've always wanted to know how people use photoshop to put different mods on their cars. (tires/rims, kits, etc..)

protein · 09-28-2006, 02:33 PM

You guys and the PS... crazy. I must just suck at computers.

Looks cool.

SC008Y_MAD · 09-28-2006, 02:37 PM

Try this site that a guy does this sort of think in his spare time and he has a portfolio of the cars he has PS choped and also a library of tutorials for you to have a go your self. http://www.digimods.co.uk/ and the tutorials. http://www.digimods.co.uk/tutorials/tutorials.htm

have fun.

btw, im using Adobe Photoshop 7 on a PC. The latest is CS2.

Those wheels (98-99 2.5rs here in the US) look really good in black, there is an rs at my school with them painted flat black.

SC008Y_MAD · 09-28-2006, 03:24 PM

I know they look really great in black

If you're going to paint the wheels black may I suggest having them powdercoated with a degree of gloss in them. Full on matte black won't look all that great with shiny paint but having even a small amount of gloss looks much better. When I had mine powdercoated I went with 20% gloss and they turned out just the way I wanted them.

Also, this color matches the unpainted skirts and lip perfectly.

akinasdevil · 09-29-2006, 02:27 AM

I personally like gold for the wheels, but that is a nice looking car!

caesar · 09-29-2006, 04:18 AM

looks good.......

SC008Y_MAD · 09-29-2006, 05:43 AM

Matt, you car

I had not thought about getting them powder coated and the gloss might actually work. Thanks for that Idea.

no prob.

Also look into gold as said above because gold + blue always looks good

Although black is a breeze to keep clean since the brakedust blends right in.

SC008Y_MAD · 09-29-2006, 01:03 PM

I knew there was a method to my photoshop madness

imprezin04 · 09-30-2006, 12:28 AM

These are my jdm gunmetal 5-spokes but powdercoating would be the best way to do it. I keep going back and forth about the black 5-spokes but if done correctly, they will look nice, like matt's

2.5RSMatt · 09-30-2006, 01:06 AM

^^
Those gunmetals look awesome on black. I don't think I'd change them.

slingshot · 09-30-2006, 10:36 AM

Is that the real car in the inset photo?
If so I would think twice about replacing those P7s(if that's what they are) with painted stockers if I were you.

imprezin04 · 09-30-2006, 07:55 PM

I am never going to paint my gunmetal ones but i was speaking in general if i like painted black ones.

here's a better pic

Damn I'm color blind. I thought your car was black before but it's green. Gun metals still look sick on it though.

SC008Y_MAD · 10-03-2006, 12:12 PM

They are not Prodrive Pff7's, they are TE alloys that looks just like them, but an inch smaller @ 17".
