Default Photoshop request - Silverstone Roadster BC2 VT hood

I have a request for a photoshop from 3 source pics.

The first car has the front bumper, splitter, and hood that I want on my car. However, I want to paint the hood silverstone to match, just leaving the vent areas unpainted in cf.

PIC#1


This is a pic of my car before I put the bumper on to get an idea of the wheels and drop.

PIC#2


This is a picture of my front and sides still on the guy's car that I bought them from.

PIC#3


If anyone feels up to the challenge, I'd love to see the following merged in a photoshop so that I can be sure this is the direction that I want to go with the exterior:

From PIC#1
- The front bumper
- The splitter
- The hood painted silverstone to match, but vents left unpainted cf

From PIC#2
- My convertible showing the top down and the orange seats
- My wheels
- My drop / ride height

From PIC #3
- The side skirts
- The bumper if the bumper & splitter from PIC#1 is too difficult to use

Thanks in advance. I can also dig up some different reference pics if you need them since these pics aren't lined up.

Thanks, I'm thinking that I may go with painting the whole hood instead of leaving the vents carbon fiber. Looking at the color contrast on that first car between its hood and the silverstone color of the rest of the car, I think that it might be a bit much to leave the vents.

That definitely gives me a good idea of how it will look.

Thanks!

That first car is not mine. It was a reference car & those aren't the skirts that I'm using. I'm using the skirts that match the front bumper - Buddy Club 2. I think that they are a better match than the nismo sides.

I had never seen and example of how the painted/cf vents looked, so photoshop was a great way for me to find out that it doesn't look good (and much cheaper than painting twice).
