OK I was thinking or painting my stock wheels white just to see what they look like...before hand I have used photoshop to portray my idea. I made that gray crap black for another idea.

They still look nice!! | | | 06-21-2007, 04:35 AM | #5 | That's not Millpoint Blue Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: BNA Posts: 3,161 | If you paint your wheels white, you should get white brake pads too. Otherwise, the brake pad dust will show up that much more on the white wheels. ;-) BTW... I seriously doubt that white brake pads exist. Also... how do you plan to open the doors without a handle? I'm sure it can be done and I have a couple of thoughts on it... but what is YOUR plan? JMJ __________________ Real men know how to SEARCH!

I am sure you can get some small motors that will open the door when you press a button. If I do do that mod I will have lambo or scissor doors. | | | 06-21-2007, 06:26 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2005 Location: Melbourne, Fl/Athens, AL Posts: 393 | Quote: Originally Posted by 3DGE lambo or scissor doors. | Same thing. __________________ -Kenny | | | 06-21-2007, 06:27 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Jan 2005 Location: Fort Collins, CO Posts: 1,305 | please don't | | | 06-21-2007, 06:28 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2006 Location: G-dale, California Posts: 1,698 | DUDE how do u do this on photoshop lol u got skillz my man ... did u take classes?? and go for it i think thats sex on a beach im painting mine gun metal __________________ Live Everyday As If Its Your Last A friend is someone who is willing to step into a flame to save you........aka a 318ti | | | 06-21-2007, 06:38 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2005 Location: Portland Oregon Posts: 1,363 | Quote: Originally Posted by M3_KILL3R DUDE how do u do this on photoshop lol u got skillz my man ... did u take classes?? and go for it i think thats sex on a beach im painting mine gun metal | I do have mad computer skill z, this was easy, just take a separate layer add a white blob over the tire, then adjust the layer settings so the white sets on the grayish areas.
