Those rims look great on the Peyote.

[Murciélago]

Good colours for vacca and banshee???

 

idk bout the Vacca tho. Maybe a yellow or lime green.

[RedlineDrifts]

Brighter colors suit the Vacca, with of course yellow being super sexy considering its a lambo.

 

As for this:

Should I change anything on my Buffalo? I have the FIB look on it right now.

It's good but personally I wouldn't have settled on those rims. I don't find they suit the car event though you're going for the police fib look..

[DarkSavageDeathlyCloud]

Lets get back on topic now.

 

My Carbonizzare has looked like this for a long time. What rims and color should I put on it? Also, should I keep the spoiler?

i think it looks perfect just like that

Any advice on how to make the Karin Dilettante look more badass?

Yeah

 

[Mach1bud]

I kinda like the look of it slammed, tinted windows. Like a lil cruiser.

Damn! That looks really nice!

[DrewGSW]

Any other suggestions for coquette classic? (hardtop)

 

 

 

and off-topic: Any one got a hammer on the x360 that then can give me?

A nice bright red (e.g. Torino Red) with alloy Muscle Freak wheels. Side exhausts, chrome bumpers, no window tint and custom tires if you feel like it.

 

Or alternatively a nice soft blue:

For my CC, I did Graphite/frost white pearl. Side pipes, no bumpers, stock wheels, roll cage.

 

Turned out good I think.

 

I suggest keeping the stock wheels. Much wider and taller than custom ones. Fills out the rear fenders better.

I think a Metallic Silver looks quite nice on the Coquette Classic

I've never tried it so I'm not sure.

You should link to that one rim thread for easy access when wanting to suggest rims

When modifying your PV, you want something recognizable.

I went for something flashy with my Manana, but not gaudy. There is a line between flashy and gaudy.

Nice car, but I'm going to leave this here. (The Manana is based on a 1970's Cadillac Eldorado)

I used to have them blue, but the clashing colours started pissing me off.

I used to have the 90's white plate on my Manana. I thought that looked quite nice.

I totally agree, match the color scheme not the year of the plate. I see lots of vehicles ruined by a clashing plate

 

IRL the plate changes every year anyways, a 70's Eldorado doesn't get a 70's plate for life

 

I live in California and in the 10+ years I've owned vehicles I've never had to replace my license plates. It is not required to change them every year and quite a few vehicles have their original plates. Both of mine included.

 

not too many states force you to change plates every year, and most now have several variations available, but when you buy a 1970 Eldorado it doesn't always come with a 1970 plate!

 

Again there's no authenticity value, match the color scheme, Don't make a black-out vehicle and then slap a white plate on it!

It's a video game, you can do what ever tickles your pickle. But that doesn't mean I won't think your a tasteless bastard for putting classic/antique plates on an Adder.

 

Also since this game is supposed to take place in a mock California, it doesn't matter what other states do, only what California does. Fun fan, California has I higher population than Canada, and a higher population than Australia and New Zealand combined.

What's a good color for the Stallion? Here's what mine looks like right now:

 

[owl-man]

A good colour for the Stallion is Metallic Saddle Brown with a Gold pearlescent. Combine with steelies or the Dukes wheels.

[whats_a_username?]

^ Good suggestion.

I prefer a Light Blue with Blue pearl, revolver rims

[oMass3y91]

Much agreed. In my opinion the best looking colors on Stallions so far have been brown/orange-like paint jobs and light blues make it look oh so clean.

---

1. What colors are best suited on the Warrener? I love this beast, but the only color I like on it is Stone Silver with another silver pearl to change it up a bit, but all of the silvers in this game suck.
2. Basically the best place to ask: should I keep my camper Bobcat XL or get me a Rancher XL instead? That thing has been drawing my attention lately.
3. This paint job for the Huntley S, yes or no? I've changed the rims since so ignore those.

[DrewGSW]

1. I use the darker silver (dark steel) on my warrener because it suits it but I also think garnet red looks good on it

2.It's your choice what you like more. Imo I would choose the Rancher

3.Yes the colour on the huntley's good

Edited February 22, 2015 by Simon.C

[whats_a_username?]

Ok, so I just recently got a Futo. What is a good color for it?

I made it yellow, but I don't really like it.

Also advice on rims would be good, tuner or sports?

Edited February 22, 2015 by whats_a_username?

[Ubermacht]

1. As mentioned before, dark steel looks good. You could also try a dark green if you're going for a racing look.

2. Bobcat for me, it's less common, looks better (IMO) and you can tow stuff with it, unlike the Rancher.

3. Keep the colour, it suits the Huntley and also isn't that common.

What should i change on my Entity?

Drop the spoiler (debatable), use stock tires, and change the plate. Personal preference, avoid colored metals/chrome.
