I'll see what I can get for a 500E with those angles.

You know, if you need effects like Eye Candy I have it downloaded somewhere... I used to spend so much time PChoppin' other photos, not so much with cars but have tried a few of my own, so I can understand about time consumption.

I would actually would pay for it, provided orignal PSD file included....

Here is a link to various "lighter" colored 500E's.

Thanks Again!

Hey Zorro, Can you drop this for me, and smoke the tails like yours?
Or would that take too long to do...?

I'm sure Zorro must be tired or busy after the 6 pages of photoshops so I tried this one.

Nice chop on Omega's 500, Mark.

I liked the 19's, red calipers and signature Zorro drop.

Ummm, I'd actually just like to know how you guys post pictures like that lol

The only way I know how is by making them attachments.

And once I figure that part out I'd really appreciate a little chop from someone! I want to get my car painted (and lowered another inch or so) just not sure what color scheme to go with... thanks for the help

Well here's the best I could do with the pictures lol


I'm trying to decide how to paint the body kit right now.... Pretty open-ended if someone wants to be creative, but I'd like to see the bumpers color matched (smoke silver)

And lowered would be nice

Thanks in advance for the help!

White, everywhere. Every time I see it it makes me want to do it to my white one.

Real nice looking machine Wolfe.

To post your pics, get a free account at photobucket.com and upload a few photos there, those can be displayed here as below, just copy and paste their text.

Mark,

Any chance of using one of my shots for a sig? I always figured I hadn't learned the secret handshake first. How bout a complement? In that pic of you with Omega and 16v, you look like a young Travolta, ("Wut?") during sweathog days.



2 things, I am still considering matching colors, maybe at another time with a set of 18s.

In this shot, I like the Friday's sign, it shows car in normal usage.

Here's your car, lowered, smoke silver bumpers and mirrors....the black mirrors won't go with the car if the bumpers are painted and white mirrors could work too...

RHW, I'll do something when I have a chance!

Thanks Zorro,

Think you could make the whole bodykit, bumpers, and mirrors white like the rest of the car? But leave the bottom of the kit and rocker panals black...

Many thanks!!!
