New looks...
So I was bored today and was thinking about doing this for a while since the black grilles got scratched after a snowy and sandy day on the freeway, after removing like 40 metal screws, 3 nuts and 20 plastic screws this is the result ( might be shocking):

Re: New looks...
I'm tryng to get "racing colors" with the matching wheels and numbers. I'm still undecided , H\have to wait until I see it at the track, I might take a picture before with the "racing Set up"

Re: New looks...
For sure you guys are nicer than the ones on Evolutionm.
anyways , what I 'm trying to achieve is to get a design on my car for the track, combining the wheels and magnets.
Look at the evos in the robispec website (costumers photos), they have two nice red silver and black combinations. Looks different at the beginning, we'll see. Although after being flamed on evolutionm I looked ath the car in person, the red doesn' stand out like the pictures is more subtle, I thing. You'll get a chance to see it
thanks
Andres

Re: New looks...
Don't forget that you own a street car, not a race car.

You miss the whole idea , a race car is where I'm going for, is going to take a while. we'll see. In the mean time look at the Robispec costumer's car link and give me some ideas based on what you've seen on my car (wheels ,mesh, magnets) , I know I can trust you
thanks

I know where you're trying to go, but you race your street car. Until it's gutted and has a cage, it's still a street car.
I looked at Robispec's customer cars and didn't see any painted mesh, just orange painted wheels. *shrug*

You're not helping me....You didn't see the one with the black one with front red bumper and silver? Just let your bright imagination flow....go to a happy place where every car looks different than yours....

Re: New looks...
it's different. if you are going red like that....play around with the Red alot more. not just the grill but with the exterior paint itself. i like it, but it'd look alot more aggressive with a some exterior body work...(wide fenders)

Re: New looks...
You'r right , I need inputs like this because that's where I'm going, some racing car I've seen even have red mirrors and other body parts painyed, no lowered with my racing wheels should look better:

Photoshop might help , I just have to learn how to use it
Thanks
