Photoshop Tuning

BMW M3

2008-09-15T10:21:00.001-07:00

The BMW M3!

This is beautiful car as it is, but still I modified it. There are not many modifications but here they are : lowering the ride height, carbonizing the bonnet, removing some details from front bumper, stretching the front bumper, implanting extra lights into front bumper and bad boy look to the bonnet. And of course new license plate.

Subaru Impreza 2007 WRC

2008-06-21T00:47:00.000-07:00

This is a modification of WRC Impreza. This modified Impreza is for everyday use and if you take a closer look you will notice that it is a coupe instead of 4 doors sedan. Ride height is lowered, decals removed, windows tinted in dark black, rims and wheels implanted from Audi. I also stretched front bumper and made clear tail lights. I removed that big roof antenna and tail wing.

By making Impreza coupe and if hole car would be stretched only by little this car could be a Nissan Skyline killer.

Nissan 350Z Street Racer Edition

2008-06-21T00:41:00.000-07:00

This is my first attempt at making street racer look modification. For this I chose Nissan 350Z. It already has some elements that states 350Z sports character.

I started modding with lovering ride hight. For street racer carbon fiber is always a good choice. Carbon fiber bonnet with bad boy extensions, implanted carbon fiber side skirts and front spoiler and carbon fiber wing. Stretched grill with extra lights gave this Nissan a look of a wider car. Rims and wheels are from Shelby WCC Mustang. To complete street racer look I added some decals to the doors and tinted windows in dark black.

BMW Series 6

2007-09-26T23:58:00.000-07:00

This is my first Photoshop Tuned BMW !!! It is beautiful BMW Series 6.
I started with lowering ride hight, then implanting new set of rims (donor was on Jaguar prototype), and also I added BMW logo to the rims. Then I stretched front bumper and done some face lifting. Then I implanted bottom of side skirts from Lamborghini Diablo and also I used front bumper spoiler from same Lamborghini Diablo. After that I stretched rear bumper, cleared some of the tail lights and license plates and made 4 exhaust pipes.
Next thing that I wonted to do was to place spoiler on the back hood. But for a couple of hours I couldn't find the wright match and at last I found it, it was on some MG prototype. I decorated it with carbon-fiber pattern.
Then I made tail lights darker, cos color of original tail lights on BMW 6 is too bright. Also I removed door handle and side mirror. And at the end I made windows in black color.

Seat Leon Cupra

2007-09-25T23:16:00.000-07:00

Well, this is one of the most beautiful cars of today. Last generations of all Seat cars are excellent. For long time Altea was most beautiful cars for me and then Seat made this Leon Cupra which has Altea's lines and same design but is more sport's car.

When I started to Photoshop tune this Seat I didn't know where to start, everything looked perfect. So I applied some standard modifications, ride hight lowering, front bumper and side skirts stretching and I also made wider wheel arches, and enlarged rims.

After this standard modifications, I got inspiration and implanted air vent on the side skirt, which is from Spiker. Then I changed grill on the front air vents and removed grill from bonnet so only Seat logo remained. Then I used front grill from Audi R8. Last touch was making blue head lights.

Skoda Fabia

2007-09-25T09:09:00.000-07:00

This is my friend's Skoda Fabia. I took the picture with my Olympus C370. It was nice car, but later I found out that he wonts to sell it, so I Photoshop Tuned it to show him how could his Fabia look like with some modifications, but he sold it anyway and bought Opel Astra caravan.

Modding of this Fabia I started with lowering ride hight, when doing this you have to be carefool about background of the car, because it can messup hole image. Then I changed rims, but if you look closely you will notice that there is some grass in front of the wheels on the original so I put layer with grass in front of wheel and erased the parts of old rim and got what you see. Then I removed black plastique decorations and streched front and rear bumpers side skirts. Also made bigger roof spoiler. At the end I implanted new exhaust tipand that was it.

Two Jaguar Limousines

2007-08-28T08:22:00.001-07:00

I've always liked tuned limousines, maybe even more than tuned sports cars. When I found this picture of thees two Jags I new that they could look better.

I started tuning with lowering ride hight. Since there are two cars on picture that was a little bit complicated then usually. At first I tried to lower them together but that was not possible, because if I lowered it enough for bigger car that would be too much for smaller and vice verse. Solution was to lower them separately. Then only problem is to match background and asphalt.

After lowering I stretched front bumper and side skirts for front Jag, but for rear Jag stretching was not necessary. Then I used front grill from one racing Jaguar and put it on bigger Jag. Finally I stretched rims on both cars. Also I made clear direction indicators on both cars too.

Original size of this image is 1600x1200, and I had it as wallpaper for some time. I think that this is my best aps mod until now.

Jaguar XKR

2007-08-28T08:20:00.000-07:00

This “Jag” looks excellent even without modifications, but still I decided to “mod” it.

First thing that I did was lowering ride hight. Then I changed rims, actually I used same rims but I made them bigger, and wider rear wheels looks better.

Then I removed direction indicators, fog lights, Jaguar logo and bonnet air vents or as would Homer Simpson said: “speed holes”. For some cars clear look fits perfectly and I think that this Jaguar is one of them for sure.

At the end I stretched front bumper and side skirts and that was it.

Honda S2000

2007-08-01T01:08:00.000-07:00

Honda S2000 was my 3^rd aps tuned car.

Wheels are the only thing on this s2000 that used from donor car, everything else is just stretched.

Modding was standard, lowering, making wheel arches wider, removing door handles and I also starched front bumper and side skirts. By not using any body kits from other cars I didn't had to adjust colors to mach, and that is one of biggest “problems” in Photoshop tuning.

Audi A4 Cabrio

2007-07-31T00:02:00.000-07:00

This is my second Ps tuned car. With this one I went little further into the world of digital modding.

First I lowered the car and then changed front bumper. Donor car for front bumper was Hamman Porsche 911, it was in cloudy sky blue color, so I had to adjust color to match A4 Cabrio's orange. Next modification was wider arches around wheels, and I made them much wider. Then there were space for bigger wheels and I used wheels from new Ford Mondeo. Then I extended front grill and hood and made hood and side mirrors from carbon-fiber.

Peugeot 206 Gti

2007-07-26T03:40:00.000-07:00

This was my first attempt in digital tuning. I was searching for car images on Google when I found digimods.co.uk and since then I started to be interested in digital tuning or moding. Tutorial at digimods.co.uk helped me a lot so I recommend it to every one who wonts to learn how to use Photoshop for moding and tuning of cars.

For my first aps (Adobe Photoshop) tune I chose Peugeot 206 Gti. And result is this:

First I changed color from blue to red. Next I removed Peugeot sign, license plate and antenna. Background in original was white, so I used picture with trees, and then added asphalt and shadows and made windows transparent and light blue tinted. Wheels and rear bumper are from Alfa Romeo C8. Then I made clear rear lights, chrome door handle and put “Firefox biting IE” picture on the door and that was it.

I know that it doesn't look great or even good, but as I said this was my first.
