I recently got my car back from having it painted, and since work has been slow today - I've been messing with graphics for the car in Photoshop. I like the clean look without graphics, but I've always been a fan of racing stripes and big number circles... Anyone else have the same on their car?

Here is the car as it sits now:

Your car looks fantastic. I kind of like the area between the tails lights painted black like on the 916. The bumper caps painted 2 tone (black and white) like on the GT are sharp too. But your car looks so nice... Id leave it alone (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif)

Thanks for the compliment. I'm real brave applyiing all kinds of stripes and wheels and stuff to the car digitally - but I don't think I could muster up the courage to go it for real! It will probably just stay silver in the end...

Polish the Fuch's spokes. I think that look looks great with a silver car.

Looks really good. you have some real skills with photosop! If it were me I would go with a grey about two shades darker than the silver. Just like the ford GT concept.

I think modern porsche 17" wheels on a 914 looks awful. if you wanted to do stripes though, the black ones look pretty good.

I like it! If your looking for more ideas...

I would try rotating both number gumballs about 15-20 degrees, and make the hood stripes offset to the drivers side, leaving the hood gumball in place, so that the outer stripe is not broken up by the gumball.

I would also maybe move the side gumball back so that it is broken up by the door opening and handle as well.

Thanks for all the kind comments and ideas, guys! I'm an illustrator by trade, and spend a lot of time "playing" with Photoshop. It's tough to trust that ANY picture hasn't been altered in some way with what tools like Photoshop allow.

synthesisdv:

Yes - they are 8's in back with 225/45's (7's in front with 205/50's), and the rear quarters are flared slightly to squeeze them in. I wanted a car that looked pretty stock bodywise - but something I fit some more rubber under.

I'll keep messing with the pic, and post more as I get them done.
