Could someone do a photo shop of my car with a carbon fiber hood?

Well post a damn pic of your car!

Yo, smartass, check this out: 95EsortSittinLo

nice wagon steve!

 

[siragan]

I did a simple canvas texture overlay, desaturation, and color burn. I know it´s sloppy but you get the picture.

Btw, Steve, the ´smartass´ was supposed to be read in a joking manner.. I hope you picked up on that. ;-)

:-D

Thanks, the wagon isn´t QUITE like that.. did a little photoshop magic on there, but I do have the GT rims and tint.

No problem I got the sarcasm.

And here´s my shot at it:

 

[Juggernaut]

you can get red c.f. hoods from zxtuner, right? they´d probably look a lot cleaner than a black hood

 

[Beaverboy]

Yay.. a fellow wagon driver :-]

I was gonna ask you if your shaved doors were real or not. Good job w/ the photoshop. Did you lower it digitally or w/ springs? ;-)

Well the ass-end is lowered with subs :-? Been considering taking care of the front, but I´m keeping an eye out for a 1g DSM so I´m not gonna spend any more money into the wag.

[Juggernaut]

It´ll shave off what? 30 lbs? that´s not a big difference off a car that started out weighing 2458 lbs. You won´t notice any better handling off just that. lose the passenger seat, rear seat, the spare tire, jack, carpet, interior of the doors, and all the plastic body pieces. That should get rid of about 200 to 250 lbs if not more. Thats when you´d notice better handling. ;-)

taking 30lbs off the front is like putting 60lbs in the rear.. and then removing 90lbs from the car. What do I mean by that? Well, 30lbs is a pretty decent weight savings.. and taking it off the front axle means better weight distribution for better balanced mid corner handling... I bet you can feel it. ;-)

Yeah.. james if you´re saying that 200 pounds will be noticeable, well 30 pounds is a good portion of that! Sure, he should do MORE than just the cf hood if he wants to cut the weight down, but where else can you save 30 lbs in one shot!? (Maybe off your fat gut???)

[Juggernaut]

i´m glad i just weigh 130lbs :-]

 

[95EsortSittinLo]

yeand losing 30 punds is a big difference our man jugger over here would only weigh 100 pounds if he lost 30 ;-)

 

[Juggernaut]

k, i can barely walk through a windy day as it is...lol ;-)
time for some weight gain formulas...
