    Opinions needed again. Photoshop wanted.

    Bored at work. Way ahead of schedule with nothing to do but kill time on the computer. So I played with microsoft paint. Man I wish I had some photoshop here or even better yet at home.

    The thing is I am not sure if I like the direction of modding the VX I have begun to start. I think the mirror tint is throwing me way off. It came with that tint. I have been quoted over $200 each time to stripp it and limo it. Not sure if I want to spend that $$ on just tint or something else better.

    This is purely cosemetic but hey I want a unique not too (Scott Free correct this 2, 2 if you need) over the top VX that lies on the rally, aggresive, R/C car looking line.


    Ill todays art.

    Which is best? I plan on selling both sets of rims I have now and tires. The 20's with Yoko AVS ST and the 265/75/16 with pro comp wheels. And buying another set of wheels and tires.

    You definitely need photoshop dude.

    MS Paint sux. I think you should go flat black on the rims, spring for the mirror tint removal and do up the limo tint.

    Thanks man. How much does a photshop or competitor (if worth it) run these days? I have never priced before. Tried or trying to find it online for free, oops. Yeah I really want to get rid of that tint.

    So flat black? I like. White is just almost unheard of. Easily dirty but different. Would you go all black or throw in a little chrome/white or machined silver into the rim, via lip/spoke in a small amount.

    I sent you a PM.

    All black dude, and flat, not shiny. I wish you could have seen Scott Harness' IronMan. He has powdercoated black rims and they look great, very, very tough. I would either find a rim you like and paint it or powder coat it, or go with the Teflon coated Mojaves. I think they would look sweet on an IronMan. But I don't know if AR has the specs you want.

    solid color is definitely the way to go... personally id go with black rims.. i dont know what look youre going for exactly.. but i like the look of steel rockcrawler rims.. theyre hideous.. but in that i can drive over anything sorta way that is dead sexy on a lifted VX, other than that id say something simple would be best

    edit..
    heres a quick photoshop of what id like to do if i had a lifted ironman.. the rims are ar dominators w/ teflon... dont know if they make them for the VX but thats the look id go for

    Thanks guys.

    Yeah having Photoshop is an obvious plus. Cant wait to mess around with it. So both agree to ditch the tint? When I replace ill go limo no doubt.

    Im thinking about repainting the bolts to white anyways. Any opinions on that? Going to nite shade the side markers and maybe the tail light or mulligan a LDUB style tail.
