: Black solstice with black rims Stephen M 01-31-2004, 09:23 PM Just playing around with the GIMP, a open source / freeware image editor. Powerful enough, but a very steep learning curve. I took one of the press photos and just changed the rims and body panels. Results are below. I also have a side-shot .XCF file with the body panels and rims as separate layers if anyone else wants to play around with it. -Stephen M Solstiscooter 01-31-2004, 10:10 PM That looks great! I have no idea how do any of that, but I have a request. If it wouldn't be too hard, how about removing the front grills? Just make it a smooth black nose. I have a feeling that aftermarket grills might just be a hot item when the car comes out. Maybe you could experiment with some? Stephen M 02-01-2004, 12:09 AM I have a request. If it wouldn't be too hard, how about removing the front grills? Just make it a smooth black nose. Done :) I left the pontiac emblem on, though. Not sure how you'd get enough cooling air this way, but it does indeed look sharp. -Stephen M Stephen M 02-01-2004, 09:48 AM same thing in a deep red ...

Good thing I have a few years before I need a new car! Stephen M 02-02-2004, 08:54 PM Oh dear god, I have no idea what color I want now! How about copper metalic with gunmetal rims? :) Just a thought..... JohnPaulPSU 02-03-2004, 12:42 AM That's a great photoshop job. I don't know how the hell you did that. Do you think you can use a base pic of the production model next time? One with the hood line across the front? Just to get a better idea of what it would actually look like. ZiggyKD 02-08-2004, 06:57 PM hey Stephen, could you put those gun metal rims on the black solstice? :coolsmile Stephen M 02-08-2004, 08:01 PM hey Stephen, could you put those gun metal rims on the black solstice? :coolsmile Done. :) <meaningless text to get by 10 character limit> ZiggyKD 02-08-2004, 10:00 PM Done. :) <meaningless text to get by 10 character limit> OMG, that is gorgeous, thank you. :eek2: Mracer 02-11-2004, 08:17 AM I would have never thought I'd like black wheels, but with your pic's of the black spokes on a silver rim looks sweet! :clap: Nice work! :bouncy: | ||
