Get Your Car Looking Like in the Magazines

[geno8r]

Got a lend of dads work camera today So good to actually get NICE photos compared to my dam mobile! Anyways I couldnt help myself & chopped my car to perfection if i may say so myself haha.

Anyways i thought I'd post the original, the edited, & the specific edited areas photos so people can try the same things & chop them on their car to see how much it can improve a photo *just like FHM making a woman’s breasts bigger for the magazines *

So here they are.

Original

Chopped

Guideline to editing

1. Lower your baby to a level so impractical you'll get stuck on a speed hump.

2. Enlarge them rims. The bigger the better they say *but not tooooooooo big* I did them 10% larger

3. Get that indicator light White instead of Orange, Ties in with the car now

4. A Shaven haven always gets restecp so to get that we'll shave off our door handle & petrol cap panel.

5. When you've lowered your car you might have taken away some of the shaddow around the wheel arch so I've added a discreet shadow to make things look normal again.

6. Well i simply dont like the grey/black stripe on the back of the skyline so i've made it white now.

Now to fully exploit the situation make sure *if you can* edit the image @ 300dpi so you can send it into your local car magazine *eg HOT4s* & knock their socks off with your now fully sick ride!

Cheers,

the windows look insane... what sort of tinting you got?

[gatty]

^^ i was just about to ask the same thing!

[geno8r]

Hehehe it looks good aye It's ES15 Tint. When I went to get tinting there was pretty much the option of SP or ES tint *seeing I just wanted a dark tint*. SP is like straight black, & SP 05 is the darkest you'll get *the lower the number the darker*. The guy was recommending paying like a little bit more *only like 40$* & get the ES which was the top of the line Executive tint or something? lol. He said you wana stand out of the crowd with something different, & he showed me some pics of cars with that tint

Anyway I got it & It's really reflective. @ Night time it's nice & black and during the day a reflective lightish blue / black. Depends what’s reflecting off it. When i get home I can post some more pics of the tint & reflections if your interested?
