I think this has probably been done before but I can’t find a picture. So here is my thought… I have flares to install, and my 74 was originally white (L 80E) it is currently black with polished Fuchs. I think the old 911 carrera look is cool. I also like the color combo of the creamcicle. So I was wondering what my car would look like if it had a GT front valence, GT flares, Fuchs rims and painted to look like a creamcicle??
Has anyone seen a picture of one, it seems like I have seen a picture of a “grasshopper” that way but can’t find it.
Here is a picture of a car ( not mine) if anyone is good at Photo shop

Yeah, that's what I was looking for, thanks.
Can any one change it to the orange with solid coloered Fuchs?
Does any one else think this is crazy because my wife sure does??
I know I will have to repaint the fenders once I get the flares installed but otherwise the paint is good, could be great if I buff it out.

Posted by: chuckc Feb 1 2011, 11:25 AM

Here is a very rough photoshop job I did real quick to give you an idea.
peace,
chuck

Posted by: kfish914 Feb 1 2011, 11:30 AM

That looks cool... maybe it's just me.
I wonder if I could talk my wife into buying another non running 914 to make that so I can keep my blk and polished 914

Posted by: chuckc Feb 1 2011, 11:53 AM

I Personally don't care for the original creamsicle, but with GT flares and 5 lug fuch's I think it's pretty sweet.

Go for it.

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 12:02 PM

Great idea!!!! I too have always liked the old 2.7 Carreras with that color scheme ........... however that same look on a 914 ........ is simply AWESOME!!!!

Posted by: underthetire Feb 1 2011, 12:04 PM

Looks really good. I wonder if it will change it much to delete the Targa Vinyl. I kinda like it on that one.

Posted by: chuckc Feb 1 2011, 12:22 PM

here it is wo the vinyl.
peace,

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 01:00 PM

Dang it looks even better !!!!! How about a white top too ?

Posted by: ClayPerrine Feb 1 2011, 01:21 PM

You need a 3.6 for it. Then it can be a Screamsicle.

how'bout...black sails, black roof, black mirrors and black A pillars...and I'm sold!

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 03:53 PM

It is soooo freakin beautiful !!!!! This is by far the best looking 914 color scheme I have yet seen !!!!

This teener has the perfect 'ride height' too .......... simply fabulous!!!

Agreed. Really nice combo. White sail, black roof. I'm a sucker for white tire lettering too.

Anybody know what size wheels those are?

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 04:08 PM

Wow, that's super hot. Glad to see my original photshopped image (silver one) is getting some mileage!

I was about to try a bumblebee edition of this image last night, but I think I'll try my hand at the creamsicle first. Looks incredible.

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 04:08 PM

As most of you already know, they came in blue too

Think those are 17's?

chuck

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 04:14 PM

Yep. The original picture had 15's. I scaled them to 17's. Inspired by the different companies making 17 inch fuchs.

Posted by: PanelBilly Feb 1 2011, 04:15 PM

Was the car originally a creamsickle? If so, please do cut it up and make mine more valuable!

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 04:17 PM

............ and green ............ sorry do not mean to spam the thread with tail draggers .......

I like the white sails best ............. how about doing the silver one with silver sails ?

Those fuchs do look cool!!! They do seem to be bigger than 15s or even 16s .....

Nope!! It was just originally white in 'color'

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 04:22 PM

What did you 'photoshop' on the silver one??

Posted by: chuckc Feb 1 2011, 04:25 PM

I was playing with blue earlier.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 04:26 PM

Here's what it looked like with 15's.



Here it is with 17's and center caps.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 1 2011, 04:27 PM

Prussian Blue and Perewinkle to be exact!



OK... maybe not but, that oughta bring Slits outta the woodwork.

Posted by: Michael N Feb 1 2011, 04:37 PM

I think a flared Subaru powered Creamcicle with a black top and sail panels would make a great project for Nolan's Creamcicle. I like the Fuchs two tone as well. We are still 8 years away from starting.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 04:38 PM

My favorite so far. 914's are sooo cool.

Posted by: chuckc Feb 1 2011, 04:50 PM

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 06:02 PM

I will be going with 16s on my example ..........

Posted by: kfish914 Feb 1 2011, 06:10 PM

I think I like the white sail panel and the black roof the best. Thanks for photo shopping.
I showed it to my wife and she asked "did you hit the lottery or just your head"
She did think it looked cool but thought I should finish with my car and leave it black and get it on the road before I think about a new project. I did remember that I have had the car completely stripped to bare metal and repainted around 18 years ago. So maybe I should just finish it as is and look for another down the road. After all my wife did say I could start another project when I finish this one...at least that is how I took it and I figure I could get you guys to support me on that.
I am putting in a 2.7 so it won't be a screamcicle but it will move fast enough (for now).

Posted by: KELTY360 Feb 1 2011, 07:24 PM

I really like the body color bumpers on this car. I'd love to see some of the color combos without the accent color on the bumpers, just the valance and rockers.

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 07:28 PM

It looks cool !! I am kinda torn on which color rocks the hardest now ......

Does that mean we can copy this idea ...... ?

Posted by: scotty b Feb 1 2011, 07:51 PM

Guess I have to change my plans I've tried to get 2 customers to let me do this and finally decided to do my car this way. PLan 2 might be in effect now

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 08:04 PM

Creamsicle with chromes

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 08:17 PM

And with painted bumpers for comparison

Posted by: KELTY360 Feb 1 2011, 08:26 PM

Now try the bumpers the same color as the major body color.

Posted by: chuckc Feb 1 2011, 08:37 PM

that's just plain fuch'n nice

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 08:58 PM

Maybe chuckc can help you out with that one. I've got to run. If not, I'll try it out a little later.

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 1 2011, 09:00 PM

This thread Rocks!!!! Thanks for the photoshop thus far utah!!!

Posted by: BiG bOgGs Feb 1 2011, 09:02 PM

I have wanted to do s similar look for my 76. Kind of a look to to what a 76 creamsicle might have looked like. But I can't figure how to make it look right with the black bumpers. My thought is to have a version where all of the orange is black. Can any of you PS guys show me what it might look like with a 5 lug conversion?

Posted by: GeorgeRud Feb 1 2011, 09:04 PM

These combinations rock! Can't believe how neat they look, and I also like the 70s vintage feel to these.

Can't make up my mind if I like the 15 or 17" Fuchs look better. The 15" ones have a more old school feel.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 10:12 PM

Creamsicle with cream bumpers. Nice call. Looks excellent!

Posted by: utah914 Feb 1 2011, 10:17 PM

and thanks to chuckc for his chops, especially the clean looking sail panels...

and the strawberry banana mobile...

Posted by: KELTY360 Feb 2 2011, 12:00 AM

That's hot. Body color bumpers really tie the ends together.

Posted by: hot_shoe914 Feb 2 2011, 12:22 AM

Should have asked me Scotty, I have been considering the flared creamsicle all along to go with my Bee, even considered doing it Bee style to go with my original Bee. Now I am totally confused to what I want. I think at one time I even told you that you could do what ya wanted as long as it was tasteful.

Posted by: Jeff Bowlsby Feb 2 2011, 12:23 AM

It looks pretty interesting with the Big Rubber Bumpers. Here is a 1976 Creamsicle Tribute car that is well done. It is a real car not P-chopped.

Posted by: BiG bOgGs Feb 2 2011, 06:06 AM

Thanks for all of the PS paint options. Really cool to see. And Jeff, thanks for the 76 pic. It even has the white interior like mine. Really helps me clear up my vision of my future car.

Just wanted to add - it's not exactly photoshop, but I love the http://club914.fr/914blueprint.swf that Johannes built on the French 914 club website.

Posted by: AZ914 Feb 2 2011, 08:11 AM

I gotta say, I've never been a big fan of the Creamsicle or the 'elusive' Grasshopper paint schemes.. BUT.. those photoshops make them look incredible! I think its the combination of the flares, the 5 spoke fuchs with painted paddles only, and the color choices - the orange is a little more 'burnt' and the green looks a little darker.

Good luck making a decision now!

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 2 2011, 09:50 AM

Great job chuck!!!!! The blue is a little light for my taste but it certainly fits right into the theme ......



Indeed!!! I am wondering if the entire center of the fuchs should be painted key color or just the surface of the paddles?

Absolutely!!! You guys are inspiring me to move even faster on my project ......

Yeah, that would back fire, knowing my luck she would end up getting the car in the split. Although... I did dump a girlfriend because she said my car was ugly, and never went on a second date with another because she said I should sell my car for the money to buy a "nicer Porsche, like a 911". First of all she called it a Porsche second "like a 911"
Believe it or not I went looking for a 914 on craigslist to see if there was one out there. I almost bought a 73 2.0L last year for $500 but chickened out because I couldn’t get a good look under the battery tray. The engine lid release snapped when the guy pulled on it to show me. It was even white. I have a set of fake Fuchs and extra set of rear fiberglass flares. I also have the stuff to drill out the rotors to change to five lugs. If I didn’t mess with the motor or suspension stuff I would just need front flares and paint and of course hours of body work.
This is really bad I need to commit myself for rehab

I like the darker coloring best.
I wonder if I coud get a body wrap cheap enough to see if I liked the red coloring on my gloss black car

Posted by: kfish914 Feb 2 2011, 12:08 PM

OK so I cn't get this idea out of my head.
I wonder if it would make the shadows of the flare stand out more if one would add pearl to the white paint???

I know the guy who owns 10 of the local Mcdonalds and he is a "car guy". He has a 65 Mustang (well 3/4s of it) in one around here. I'm thinking I should show him the Ronald McDonald 914 and see if I could talk him into building it. Then talk him into paying me to drive it around to all the car shows to promote his business, yeah , yeah that will work...OK maybe not the last part.

Posted by: nathansnathan Feb 2 2011, 12:12 PM

I did one of the "Adriatsicle" inspired by that 911.

Posted by: KELTY360 Feb 2 2011, 12:14 PM

Are you prepared to wear the Ronald McDonald costume as part of the deal?

That would be true commitment.

Posted by: chuckc Feb 2 2011, 12:16 PM

Do it!

Posted by: kfish914 Feb 2 2011, 12:23 PM

Heck yeah, if I can talk him into putting a big six in it. I'm not too proud. Of course I would tell him that it would not be a great idea to get make up on the interior

I found one of the pictures I was looking for. It is a Flared "Grasshopper" , well kind of they didn't color the rest of the panels but they did the side stripe and the Fuchs. Just thought you would like to see it.

What program are you doing this with? Is it something I can buy or download? I always here people saying photoshop but is that what it's called? It would be very helpful in figuring out what color combo I want on my car.
Thanks, Paul.

I've been using Gimp. Free and excellent. I've just taught myself by reading up and trying it out. If you want to see any particular color schemes, I'd love to help. Obviously I enjoy it.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 7 2011, 02:25 AM

Are you thinking blue and silver?

Posted by: utah914 Feb 7 2011, 02:28 AM

Wow, those are going to look great. If I were running those, I'd pick some nice meaty tires with white lettering. Or even a blackwall that had some nice looking lettering that could be painted white. Truthfully, they are just going to look awesome whatever you do.

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 7 2011, 01:32 PM

WOW !!!!! I think the blackened A-pillars and sails have won me over!!!! I was struggling for painted or black sails for quite a few months .......... when coupled with black pillars and trim .......... this pic wins hands down!!!! I did not think a metallic could pull it off this well!!

My next base color problem is between silver or 'yachting blue' from the new panamera.

Now that black sails and pillars have been decided on, it is now between this Blausilber epic example or a yachting blue base color with black bumpers and silver or black wheel paddles .............

Can you remove the porsche lettering stripe? Thanks for the great 'inspirational' p-shop so far

Posted by: kfish914 Feb 7 2011, 02:03 PM

These different paint ideas all look great.

I wanted to give an update about the Ronald McDonald car idea. I did get a chance to talk with the McDonalds owner and he said he actually owned a 914 “back in the day”. I showed him the picture of the car and pitched him the idea of taking the car to car shows and handing out coupons etc, etc. He thought it would be fun and even said he had a Ronald McDonald manikin to put in the passenger seat.
However, He said that he just bought into a territory in Michigan and couldn’t lay out the cash to “do the car right” at this time.

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 7 2011, 08:23 PM

Just checkin in to see if utah has p-shopped my dream paint job

Posted by: utah914 Feb 8 2011, 09:55 AM

Just to make sure I get it right, is this the combo you want to see?

Base color - yachting blue
A-pillar - black
Sail panel - black
Bumpers - black
Front valence - black
Side valence - black
Rear valence - black
Side stripe - delete
Wheels - silver paddles or all black

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 8 2011, 11:40 AM

Yes, perfect ! The struggle with painted sails and A-pillars is over ...... because your blackened versions look so dang cool !!!

Thnaks for an awesome thread

Posted by: Rob-O Feb 9 2011, 08:20 PM

Right, the side walls. I actually think they look pretty good.

Utah, I'd love to see that Creamsicle with the orange roof exactly the way it is but without the side stripes. Just all white except for the bumpers, front and rear valance, rockers and roof in orange.

Also, it looks liek that orange is starting to darken a little compared to the original Creamsicle. That's okay though, I think it gives the car an updated, not-so-70's (nothing wrong with the 70's BTW) look.

Gotta give you a thumbs up like the other fellas here, you're rockin' it out by putting together these packages for everyone.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 9 2011, 10:43 PM

Thanks, I have a lot of fun doing it. I love to see how it looks with all the different combos. I'm working on the blue one and the brown one next, but they are a little more challenging because they are darker colors. I'll put the de-striped creamsicle in the queue.

And thanks to kfish for the cool thread idea. I hope he doesn't mind the "topic migration".

I think a bare-nuts Red Baron would rock. Admiring the previous post, but.....

I don't like the white lettering on the tyres myself - It's like a £3000 evening dress being filled curvaceously by the most beautiful girl in your dreams and then she goes and spoils it all with a set of 7 inch gold hoop earrings - you just know before she opens her mouth it will be a disappointment.....

Sorry I'm English, but I'm sure you guys get what I'm getting at..



If the PS wizard wants to do my dream 914, it's as follows

Dark metallic grey
Chrome wheels with red ground and polished petals
The wide Porsche script in red
Black sills and valances
Chrome bumpers
No sail panel vinyl
Black roof
Full Alcantara interior with my 10K Mcintosh sound system (I know you can't shop that in, but I can visualise )
Oh, and no gold hoop earrings...

I think it entirely depends on what use you put the earrings to...

Anyone care to show a flared bumblebee?

Posted by: kg6dxn Feb 10 2011, 05:58 PM

I have to show this off. Chuck made my car into a Red Baron. Great job Chuck! Thank You.

My pleasure.

Okay, here are a few to look at. I haven't gotten the original black stripe off yet, but I'll get to it eventually. These will give you a good idea how Yachting Blue will look.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 10 2011, 10:56 PM

Yachting Blue number 2

This color looks like its melted on.

Thanks so much for taking the time

Posted by: Rob-O Feb 11 2011, 11:48 AM

Oh, can't wait to see that Creamsicle without the side stripes I mentioned earlier. Go Utah, go!

Posted by: PanelBilly Feb 11 2011, 03:36 PM

Let's come back to the pure look of the original, less the rear valance.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 11 2011, 05:43 PM

Good call. I took some liberties on the original colors. Here they are as close as I could get to the image you posted.

Posted by: Eric_Shea Feb 11 2011, 06:00 PM

Ohhh... which brings up another question; Red or Blue?

Posted by: ConeDodger Feb 11 2011, 06:16 PM

Eric has matching shoes and bag that he wears when driving this car...



Guess I gotta pick up Slits since this thread has grown to 8 pages without a response from him...

Posted by: ConeDodger Feb 11 2011, 06:18 PM

BTW, This is not a photoshop job. This is a six conversion using a trashed real six that is correct right down to the steering column... Websters car...

Looking through all of the colors, I think the "frosted" quality of the clearcoat really makes the color rather than a straight, really glossly clearcoat.

The only 17"ers I've been able to find are the Linea Corse Fox wheels. Has anyone tried these on a flared 914?

Great work here, I agree.

Posted by: utah914 Feb 11 2011, 10:21 PM

The other ones are the Zuffenhaus (Jeff Alton originally) 17 inch fuchs. They are nice, light, and expensive. But beautiful.

Posted by: DanT Feb 12 2011, 09:17 AM

a real one complete

That looks awesome.
It's nice to see the REAL creamcicle preserved to its original glory.

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 12 2011, 04:32 PM

With all due respect ............ the p-shop 'sicles' are far superior to the originals!! I had an original and the problem with owning those, is you are stuck with 'having' to leave them bone stock. One can never modify an original in any way, without 'some' peeps soiling their panties over it ....

I am gonna go with one of Utah's p-shop color scheme creations on my 73'!!! It will have blackened sails, A-pillars and blackened trim, fuchs 7 & 8s x16 with 944 turbo offset rears and a web cammed big valve 2056cc ......... I will not miss owning an original creamsicle ......... ever

For the record .... I have printed over a dozen of these and added them to my 914 'inspiration' binder ......

EDIT: Here is my hand at p-shop ........ I removed the side stripe on the silver one (not very well), blackened the A-pillar on the silver one, removed white letters from tires and removed the top window decal ........... aside from the 17" wheels (am goin 16") ........ I am liking these ........

My great thanks to the real p-shop experts, utah, chuck among others ........... I wonder what a red/silver one would look like ........ just like the last blue one on here ... except red

Sheesh, politics always seems to sneak in. I thought Utah was a Salmon state....but maybe that's Washington.

This thread is awesome. It has convinced me more than ever how cool body color bumpers are. I think they make the car look longer, lower and less 'cluttered'.

Posted by: rdauenhauer Feb 15 2011, 01:15 AM

Utah can you do a white over black version?

Posted by: oldschool Feb 15 2011, 01:45 AM

My cuz is in love with these wheels,

Posted by: gothspeed Feb 18 2011, 03:34 PM

this thread needs more variations from utah and chuck ........ !!!

Posted by: chuckc Feb 18 2011, 07:42 PM

These are some 17 knock-off. They're proud of them. you can get them in 17 10's

too rich for my blood, but cool.

Time to revive this thread. This beautiful Gulf 914 was a perfect canvas for a Flared Grasshopper.

and of course a Blausicle

Posted by: dlestep Aug 18 2011, 07:42 AM

...okay, you have totally destroyed my 3 color choices for my car...
Can you display the body in the matte dark green (bottom red baron photo edit)
bumpers in black; rockers in black; black wheel centers; black A-pillars; black
sail panel; black roof.....without porsche lettering or rear stripping...pretty please

Posted by: gothspeed Jun 15 2012, 11:02 AM

Legendary thread status IMO .... !!!!

I wonder what the tire sizes are on the cars above?? the wheels appear to be 951 8x16 fuchs up front and 930 9x16 fuchs rear ...........

Posted by: Eric_Shea Jun 15 2012, 06:55 PM

I need a lifted Rothman's livery for Moab!

Posted by: gothspeed Dec 5 2013, 12:57 AM

since there has been some talk about paint schemes in some other threads. I hope this helps someone.

color / sheen choices are being finalized in the next few days for my gt replica as well

Posted by: badmiata Dec 5 2013, 10:18 AM

These are GREAT!!

Posted by: boxsterfan Dec 5 2013, 11:57 AM

Can you photo-chop an Aubergine-cicle?

Posted by: JmuRiz Dec 5 2013, 11:59 AM

Or the IMSA spec Lowenbrau Special

Posted by: 2mAn Dec 5 2013, 02:16 PM

what an amazing thread. I had an idea and I get to get a good idea of what it will look like just by browsing this thread. Thank you!!!

Posted by: turk22 Dec 5 2013, 07:41 PM

Winner!!

Posted by: scotty b Dec 5 2013, 09:18 PM

Did this on the visualizer. I decided I'm not using this color on the 914, but may on my Model A I'm still debating between 3 other combos for the 914. Hopefully I'll be starting on it sometime next year

Posted by: mgp4591 Dec 5 2013, 10:24 PM

Awesome work! Could you do one like this with a white roof instead of black? I'm making up my mind...

Posted by: gothspeed Dec 6 2013, 12:19 AM

Im happy to see this thread appreciated again

I gotta hand it to the pshop skills on here!

Posted by: carr914 Dec 7 2013, 09:28 AM

Yes - they are Tight on Factory Metal Flares, fine on F/G

Posted by: badmiata Dec 7 2013, 07:51 PM

So those are the 17x9 Rota rims ?And they fit (barely) with factor flares from tangerine

Posted by: carr914 Dec 7 2013, 08:09 PM

those are Rota 17x9 and Factory Metal Flares from Porsche

Like a necromancer I am raising this thread from the back pages!

Utah can you re do this one with a ivory roof and sails?

Thanks

Posted by: kfish914 Jun 23 2014, 02:51 PM

Has anyone completed one of these color combos?? I would love to see one. If you have please post a picture.

Posted by: Johny Blackstain Jun 23 2014, 06:33 PM

I find this thread to be most intriguing. Amusing to see others having similar thoughts to my own.

Posted by: HalfMoon Jun 23 2014, 11:00 PM

Actually I had posted a thread a few eeeks ago that was similar. I was looking for someone that could photoshop my SHeridan bodied v-8 to look like a bumblebee. I was giving that paint scheme some thought....
Anyone game to try photoshopping it for me?
If so I'll take a high res picture tomorrow :-)

Posted by: Vysoc Jul 10 2014, 12:47 PM

Awesome thread!!
Thanks for all the great ideas on color schemes, Signal Orange does not have to be the only 914-6 GT Option.

Vysoc

Posted by: 3d914 Jul 12 2014, 08:49 PM

I agree. Had to throw in my .02$ - even though it's non-sicle.

Here's a combo I did on the configurator - nice tool.

Posted by: MikeInMunich Jan 5 2015, 01:48 PM

Absolutely awesome thread!

Tough choice. We'd say "Qual der Wahl" in German...literally, "the torture of choice", meaning...too many good things to choose from.

Inspiring!
