Official Car Customization Advice Thread

Thoughts?

Looks like you just threw every mod on it.

I don't know what to do with two of my muscle cars, I just know that I want to change them. Any advice is welcome.

I'd change the Buccaneer's color(make it lighter) and change the wheels. I think the Phoenix looks good already

Make the Phoenix like Dom Torretks charger?

[Murciélago]

Wat^

[Mach1bud]

Do not be a sheep. Do not clone any of Dom's chargers, or Brians cars, or any movie car.

 

Be your own. Make your own.

Thoughts?

Decide what you want it to look like first, rather than just throwing every mod on it.

 

Do you want it more redneck? More racetruck? More mountain crawler?

 

 

I usually go with the round fenders. Don't do the carbon ones, jard to make those look right.

 

I would like to go for a outdoors/redneck/mountain crawler kinda feel...

[Spectacus]

Should I black the rims out on my adder?

Nah, im gonna keep the colour...

[Murciélago]

Then why are you asking for advice? You're just gonna keep it the same anyways.

[Mach1bud]

I'd keep the adder rims as they are.

 

Or go with the Dash VIP in Sport or SUV, I don't really like the High End versions tbh.

I only asked for advice regarding the rims; perhaps you ought to read a bit better in future?

BTW Whats the difference with the SUV And High end version?If you actually looked, I gave you a response to the rims. And again, I was just giving advice for the paint, If you don't like the idea, simply ignore it.

basicly the lip of the rim is different. stick with what you got. those look real good imo.

I prefer the SUV ones

[8up local]

while i like the way i have it, i am curious. any thoughts or opinions?

 

 

[Spectacus]

I think white would look nice

[Mach1bud]

Yeah, the lip of the rim, tire profile, and sometimes small styling changes depending on the rim.

 

A good example is Venum in Sports, and Empowered in SUV.

 

Same rims, but just a tiny bit different.

 

 

Edit: 8up, I think chrome versions of those rims would look sick on it.

It's a fine, classic color. The only thing I'd draw attention to is the color of the rims.

 

Any logo design, painting, or packaging design that would use the same color on the lettering as the design, would not work well, as it's too much of the same color.

My recommendation is to consider making the rims a lighter version of the color you've chosen for the car, giving contrast and allowing the overall visual of the "painting" to be seen.

 

So, if the car color is like a Dark Earth (just saying), then a Desert Sand, Straw, or gold color might look nice. White might be too much, tho.

 

Anyhow, just my 2¢.

[owl-man]

What do you people think of this?

EDIT: f*cking autocorrect.

Perfect. Unique color, but not out of place. Good rims/tires. Just good all around.

yeah, the rim color is Dark Brown. so no color to go lighter with except Dark Ivory maybe. also was thinking Stone Silver. which would be the latter. i've checked them out and Dark Ivory looks like baby poo with the paint imo.

I'd go full E92 M3 on it. White with Split Ten wheels.

Decide what you want it to look like first, rather than just throwing every mod on it.

 

Do you want it more redneck? More racetruck? More mountain crawler?

 

 

I usually go with the round fenders. Don't do the carbon ones, jard to make those look right.

 

I would like to go for a outdoors/redneck/mountain crawler kinda feel...

I grew up in the 60's and 70's and you've pretty much nailed the look of the 1970 Chevelle. Though it was often seen in the world as a brighter colored car, it wasn't unusual to see one with a muted, darker tone.

 

Check this page out, , to see the real thing that inspired the Sabre. The 1968 Chevelle is colored similarly to yours. Nice work! Cheers!

(you have to scroll down... the blue '70 Chevelle is something I always wanted):

Just make it a dark color, remove the bull horns and the custom tires gotta go.

[Mach1bud]

^^^Yes that, and remove every bit of carbon fiber on it.

[joshstix]

Thoughts on this Rapid GT? I wanted a modern take on the classic British open top 2 seater. Green of course

 

Wheels chosen to match the colour of the detailing behind the front arches and the A pillar...

 

 

 

 

 

[Hector Tavares]

Looks great man! Color fits, and wheels look good.
