Ok, so I took to photoshop again to play around with things, since I can't actually mod my car, since god only knows when I will get it.

I decided on even different rims once again and wanted to see what they might look like on the car. One thing led to another and I played with coloring to see how they would look on the other colors.. which led to seeing how it might look lowered and with tinted tails, windows, fog lights, plasti-dip front emblem....

Not my best work, and the blue on the hood came out pretty funky, but it gave me a good idea of how the setup might look on different colors..

Before y'all go pointing out how bad the chops are, I already know, I was just trying to killl time and ease the pain of waiting while getting an idea of what my car might look like depending on the color available..

For those interested, the wheels are XXR 530 in chromium black. Didn't want to chop flat black (which I may get) because I wouldn't be able to tell as well how the actual wheel looked.

here is the stock pic:

Nice work!
The style wheel you put on them looks great
It's got more spokes than I prefer, but it really looks great
Blacking out the front fogs was an interesting idea, me like

Nice pics, and it once again confirms that white is my color of choice.. I was on the fence with red but once I saw it in person the other day, I realized that its a flat red and not a metalic paint.. It only looks good in certain sunlight.

The thing with white is how strong the contrast is to the black details, and to me the stronger contrast the better
Which is exactly why I love the 26.2 so very, very much!

Turbosocks, hope ya don't mind, I took one of your images, and did a photochop on it for Mr White, 4gcarbon

Hey 4G, consider making your exterior rearview mirrors black, it cleans up the lines a bit more, especially if you are planning a window tint

 

[Turbosocks]

no worries, feel free to to what you will with the images.. I will have one coming for you momentarily..

 

[Turbosocks]

not exactly the right hue, but the side mirror is black and it has a clear corner.. i hate yellow, but this would look sick

 

[Turbosocks]

here is a better version of the white, with black mirrors and clear corners..

That Yellow is starting to grow on me.. I was always the guy that would never consider white or yellow on a car, but on this car, I think I like those 2 colors the best.. Its funny how some colors are really cool(like the marathon blue) but it just doesnt look right on the VT..

I hear what you are saying
And for the record, if I can't get the 26.2 Yellow, I could be very, very happy with Vitamin C Orange, although it could afford to be as tad brighter...

Every time I see a Vitamin C I enjoy the color more and more. I never thought I would like such a 'loud' color but it looks really nice to me in all lights. I see one every couple of days (they work at the local home depot) and it looks so nice and its just a base model.

I also really hated red cars until I saw the Boston Red on the V.

My favorite color though right now has to be the battleship/pearl grey that of course we can't get in the states.. It just looks so different from most of the paint on the road today.

I am curious to see what the Petrol Grey will look like, the new matte color they will be producing from nov '12+


EDIT: after seeing the pics you just posted, I think I found only the 2nd other thing I don't really like about the Vturbo. the rear diffuser on the 'vertical' part of it has no design or character to it until you get down near the exhaust tips. the entire vehicle is this cool mesh of curves and sharp lines and you get to that point and it is 3 simple planes

I wholeheartedly agree with those statements.

I really want to want Vitamin C, but I hate every other car I see in a similar car. I just can't get past feeling like I would get sick of it after a year or two.

I know some of us are undecided on color.. Maybe mix the colors..

wait, sorry to sound dumb, but i didn't know they were going to produce more colors later on. this is going to be separate from the matte grey?

Found this Video walk around of the Elite white pearl.. I like it a lot!!
Drivers side rear corner you can see the pearl sparkle really good where the sun hits the car.. And thats the interior i want too.
