Ok here it is the green Eclipse from the Fast and the Furious. It's too bad we can't change the body kits or add graphics, but it's close enough. I wanted it to be in the city preferably at night to give it that street racing feel and I am please by the way the pics turned out.

Here is the original in case you have not seen the movie or forgot which one

This is exactly the car I have been looking for. A super cool version of the 350Z. I didn't really think this car was that cool since in the dealership it is white, but omg once I painted it and threw on some rims that's when the car really came to life. I took a bunch of photos, but these are my best and the last few are just funny "time warp" ones using the new reflective light.

Does that green 380RS send D-mails? :lol:

Yes it's pretty beast, I'm loving it. Nice green paint job by the way. But usually I leave the BBS LM-R's instead of changing the wheels :lol:

Lol green paint is by far the hardest to get perfect. Finding a lime green that has a yellowish hue when light hits it is the hardest thing to do. I looked at all the yellow and green paints and this was the closest I could find to what I wanted. Slightly lighter than what I wanted, but I still like it a lot so still good lol.

Lol sweet. Now I know others will like it too. Thanks
 
Notice something different lol. I wanted to have a Porsche GT3 RS, but obviously can not have that so i set out to make it myself! I added the stripe on the side from the older GT3 and the spoiler and mirrors from the new one. Also if you notice I put RGT instead of GT3 to keep it more Gran Turismo lol. Only thing I am slightly disappointed in is the actual pictures themselves were not the greatest shots, but I edited them the best I could and there is a huge difference compared to how they started.

Yep, that's a nice touch. Last picture is a pretty nice one by the way in terms of composition.
 
Nice. How'd u do that?I also need to figure out how to post pics. You would like my 370

Thanks. This was pretty easy I literally just used the brush tool in photoshop and painted a red line than erased the ends a bit to give it a bit of the fade look. The part that says RGT was tricky tho because you can't get the font so I had to draw it on.

Use flickr and upload your photos there. Than go to Share>grab the html>BBcode. Than choose how big you want, copy it and post it in any thread you want.

Nice work :)

thank you

Thank you. All the pics kind of turned out rather less than good, but I edited the lightening etc as best I could and if you actually saw the originals, especially the last one you would be shocked at how much better they look now. I will keep trying to get better pics from GT5 to start and hopefully edit than add those.
 
This car is so good it amazes me. I raced it all over, but it handled so well in the rain that I figured I'd take pics there. Nothing overly fancy here just a few pics that I like. Very clean, early morning, and overcast day at "The Burg".

I love your play with the lighting. The lights glow like glowsticks, me like.

Thank you, I been experimenting with a few different styles and editing and so far they have turned out rather well. I can't wait to try out some of my new techniques on a photo that already looks really good and see how amazing I can get it.
 
I had a lot of money saved up and had to spend it on something so I bought another Lamborghini Miura. This time I decided to paint it and add some cool rims. I really like the way it looks now the purple color I have looks spectacular no matter what the track. Also the first pic is my other one, but only one pic came out as nice.

I always wanted a second one of these because I thought it would look so cool in a matt black. I never could find one in UCD and didn't want to paint the one I had since it was a original color. Luckily a very nice person sent me this car for free and i was able to finally see what it looked like exactly how I wanted. I think it came out better than I ever dreamed of and I definitely went a little picture crazy with it. Got a wide assortment of pictures of it, but I think you will agree that the matt black with huge chrome rims goes perfectly with the rest of it.
