Photoshopped: Red Coupe, BBS 19" Wheels

	AaronWV Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Elkins, West Virginia	A few more quick Photoshops I did: Attempted to adjust color to see what red paint may look like (excuse the quality–just a quickie), and one of the official shots with a few different sets of my favorite BBS wheels to see what they'd look like. Enjoy.

Here is a PS I did the other day to see what the Challanger would look like with Foose wheels. http://www.ddz.net/excelsior/challfoose.jpg __________________ Previous #14 Owner / Current 08 GXP Deep \| LOADED \| #14 Photo Album My mods - updated 6/17/08 ---- CNY Kappa Club Event Calendar 8/24/08 Meet/Drive

Cool

	AaronWV Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Elkins, West Virginia	Hey guys thanks for the nice words. And good work on that Challenger too– love those rims. Foose is truly a living legend, and his work and design is all top notch. I have a huge amount of respect for him since he can do everything from the concept drawings (an art unto themselves) all the way to the mechanicals and CAD/CAM with proficiency. He does a lot of good things with his fame too. __________________ "The sign read, Breakfast Served Anytime, so I ordered French toast during the Renaissance." - Stephen Wright Current DD: 2009 VW Jetta SE 2.5L - Reflex Silver Metallic

Hard to believe you can make the great looking Solstice look better with just wheels, but there it is, photographic proof!

The BBS wheels look very much like these wheels from Kappasphere, which are not only cheaper, but I don't think BBS makes wheels in a pattern that fits the Solstice. Not quite as light as BBS wheels, of course. These weigh 21 lbs each, about 2.5 lbs less than stock. The BBS wheels would probably be down around 18-19 lbs. __________________ Solstice GXP Coupe You still don't need a trunk to haul ass... even at Red Rock Canyon in Las Vegas!

Is there better places to get it? __________________ Team Solstice 2008 Ordered 11/12/05 Black, manual trans, Premium package, power package, convenience package, floor mats, AC, XM radio, LSD, and Polished Wheels Produced 6/1!

Photoshop

	AaronWV Member Join Date: May 2008 Location: Elkins, West Virginia	No, unfortunately I had to drop coin. I went ahead and bought the entire Creative Suite 3 since I'm in the Design field. However, if you're a student you can get a much better price from the campus bookstore through Adobe, but you must be registered as a student to do so. __________________ "The sign read, Breakfast Served Anytime, so I ordered French toast during the Renaissance." - Stephen Wright Current DD: 2009 VW Jetta SE 2.5L - Reflex Silver Metallic

I am not sure if Elements (the online PS) does this though. __________________ Previous #14 Owner / Current 08 GXP Deep \| LOADED \| #14 Photo Album My mods - updated 6/17/08 ---- CNY Kappa Club Event Calendar 8/24/08 Meet/Drive

	SmokinSolstice Founding Member Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa	Thanks guys I tried Gimp awhile ago and to be honest I can't figure out how to do a thing in it. Photoshop is easy compared to Gimp. __________________ Team Solstice 2008 Ordered 11/12/05 Black, manual trans, Premium package, power package, convenience package, floor mats, AC, XM radio, LSD, and Polished Wheels Produced 6/1!

	SmokinSolstice Founding Member Join Date: Mar 2004 Location: Quad Cities, Iowa	Nice videos! I am good at photoshop but perhaps I should try gimp again and see if I can't get ahold of how to do what I want in it. __________________ Team Solstice 2008 Ordered 11/12/05 Black, manual trans, Premium package, power package, convenience package, floor mats, AC, XM radio, LSD, and Polished Wheels Produced 6/1!
