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.

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

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

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.

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!!!!

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

here it is wo the vinyl.

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

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

I like it... (not the white top though)

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

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!!!

nice

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

Anybody know what size wheels those are?

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.

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

yea pretty freaking mean looking.
Think those are 17's?
peace

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

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

............ 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'

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

I was playing with blue earlier.

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

Prussian Blue and Perewinkle to be exact!



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

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.

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

ok, I'm getting carried away. Last one. Strawberry bannana.

How about a flared grasshopper?

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

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).

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.

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

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

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

Creamsicle with chromes

And with painted bumpers for comparison

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

that's just plain fuch'n nice

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

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

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?

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.

Creamsicle with cream bumpers. Nice call. Looks excellent!

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

and the strawberry banana mobile...

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

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.

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.
