Default How will these look on a carbon silver?

Can someone do a pretty decent job of photoshopping these wheels onto a carbon silver z? Thanks....

I'm not off for another 5 or so hours but if no one has tackled it I'll do it.

The angles didn't match up right so I borrowed a side pic of Zgrabin's CS. It was just a quick one let me know if you want another one done with more detail.

That looks pretty sweet. But the car looks like chrome silver. Could you make the car a little darker to match carbon silver? Thanks again.

ahhh see now it gets tricky. I'm partially colorblind which means it's hard to match colors. If you put blue/pruple or red/orange or green/brown together I can't tell the difference. I tried on this but someone else might want to tackle this one. Or if you have a side profile of a Carbon Z then I could just use that. Be honest too because I'm assuming it's pretty off lol...

That silver Z in your first post looks so ****ing good. But stevehl I think it would look better without the red trim around them. Just my PO. Im not the best with the photoshoppin thing or i would help ya out. But then again you would be a one of kind Z.

One more attempt with an actual Carbon Silver.. I know the wheels look cartoonish but it's the way the picture was shot. Looks like some sort of HDR shot. This time from BPS2007

LOL. to be honest, the car looks sky blue/chrome silver.

Sorry to make you do all this work, but my laptop is old and I can't right click to save pics. I found the link with a couple of carbon silver z's with side profiles. Here is the link:https://my350z.com/forum/350z-colors...on-silver.html. If you go down, around 75 percent down the page, you will see the user name evolved 326, he has a side profile. Thanks again.

Nitrouz's Z will always be the best of both worlds show and go...

Scratch that. I finally found a somewhat decent one to match courtesy of Allen 331 which ironically already have the same rollers but different color scheme

Before:



And after:

Sorry I got a little carried away but it's a hobby so it's fun! If you have any other requests just pm me. I could use the practice. I also hope you like the last one I posted because that's probably the closest match you'll find. Good luck (which you won't need) because these will look dope. And yes hats off to Nitouz old car. His GTR is sick but I'd take his old Z over it

Yea, the last one is perfect. Its funny because im looking to get nismo side skirts, those wheels, and the blitz spoiler, which the car you used all contains. I was unsure how the the wheels would look on a carbon silver, but it flows and looks nice. My front reflectors are also blacked out with matte black paint, so im sure it will flow a little better than the orange reflectors.

And just for my own curiosity I smoked the rear turns and painted the door handles darker to flow better...

The wheels fit in very well with the rest of the car; smoked tails/handles/turn. My favorites wheels are the te37's, but I have a carbon silver car and to me, those wheels do not look good on a cs. But the black/gunmetal gts with red stripes look amazing.

For one last touch, could you try and see how much of the headlights you can black out? I know you cant really see much of the headlights, but its still while, and can you completely black out the turns? It looks dark amber. I think thats what im going to do to my car.

No problem I'll be home around 7:30 tonight so check back around 8 and I'll have it done. Do you want me to black out the tails too to match the heads? While I'm at it do you want me to throw on some TE's for comparison? I would just need to know which color TE's you'd like and possibly a picture to use.
