where did you find it?

shmogt · Dec 20, 2011

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

idk I just looked at all my yellows and found this to be the best. If you have lots of colors you may have it already

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.

No problem

shmogt · Dec 28, 2011

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.

hypothermea · Dec 28, 2011

Nice. How'd u do that?I also need to figure out how to post pics. You would like my 370

grrlpurple · Dec 28, 2011

Nice work

uMadson? · Dec 28, 2011

Yep, that's a nice touch. Last picture is a pretty nice one by the way in terms of composition.

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.

shmogt · Dec 30, 2011

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".

uMadson? · Dec 30, 2011

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.

shmogt · Jan 17, 2012

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.
