well, in the middle of doing the reverse angle, the wife put in her vote: lime green. It looked absolutely terrible while there was still orange on it, but now that it's all swapped over, it's not nearly as terrible. I also decided that the spoiler should match the base color, but have the stripe go over it. The lettering on the side could be either black/dark grey or transparent. I'm still toying with the dark grey/black a/c pillars and roof.

Aaaaaaand black top, black lettering. Updated front view too!

This one's got my vote. I love the black accents. It makes the car look AMAZING, IMO.

Lime green, I'm not sure. It might be OK. It's just that you have a real good thing going there with silver / orange.

I don't know what a paint job like this is going to cost you but man, oh, man, this would sooooo totally rule.

*tomato* · 09-12-2011, 11:56 PM

BTW, my Yaris is red. I wonder what it would look like with black or white or black and white stripes?!

If I close my eyes, I can just imagine

but if you have the time and wanna photoshop those colors, just to see what it would look like, that'd be great !

hehehe ... never hurts to ask

I can give it a shot, but I'm not sure that I know what you mean by "black or white or black and white".

holy crap that is sharp ^

MickZEL · 09-13-2011, 02:39 PM

The inscription on the door Yaris, must have an original look.

Holy Crap thats awesome.

You could try using vinly before going with paint. I definitely love the top half dark.

KCALB SIRAY · 09-13-2011, 04:24 PM

The first one is still my favorite and has the most Euro look to it.

Holy cow!!!

I can just picture myself driving around with THAT!!!

Vinyl is actually a great idea. You could try different things, that way, at much lesser cost.

I would be happy just rocking the Yaris stripe on the side, and the modification on the roof, and a carbon fiber hood. The rest of the front of the car can stay red. Man, on man, that's some paint job and I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE THE WHEELS

*tomato* · 09-24-2011, 09:44 PM

And thank YOU for doing this!!!

To be honest, I don't remember either what I meant at the time, lol, but I sure like what you've done with my car! :D

With or without the carbon fiber hood, I would leave the bottom part (under the hood) just red, and that's it.

I'm in love with the design, and of course, these wheels

You're welcome. Once I got the part outlines made, changing colors is a snap.

So something like this?

With a white stripe on the roof !

I tried to save the image to my hard drive to see if I could mess around a little but MS Paint didn't recognize the format for some reason. I'm not completely sure about the hood area but this is getting pretty damn close.

I agree about it looking like a knockoff, but it was just a flight of fancy. It's "free" to photoshop. =)

CrankyOldMan · 09-27-2011, 08:08 PM

Here's one with the roof stripe, and in jpg format. I'm guessing you're still using WinXP and that your version of paint can't handle .png files.

*tomato* · 09-27-2011, 09:37 PM

Guilty as charged! ;)

this is looking better and better... Hood probably needs an air vent but ...

This is really cool, thank you! So, are you gonna do it on your car?
