:: Little import car for me ::

ci5ic · 07-08-2002, 08:52 PM

I really liked the little import toons that RPS13 was doing, so I tried to emulate his style and drew a picture of my car... Doesn't look the same as his, but I like the style.

nice, lemme see a pic of the real car. Keep up the good work

Thanks.
Actually, the real car went to the body shop today to have the hood, front and rear bumpers, side skirts, and door caps put on, and then get painted green, so the real car doesn't look like that yet. But as soon as I get it back, you can bet I'll be posting some pictures!

I'm gonna be without my "baby" for 2 weeks (possibly 3 weeks)... I'm already going nuts, and it's only been 8 hours!

3 wks to install and paint??? thats rediculous but i love the cervinis hood on your lil civic, nice work.

NOT BAD>> nice work

ci5ic · 07-09-2002, 06:26 PM

Actually, the paint and install is only gonna be two weeks (This ain't no Maaco paint job... $3000), and if I don't get it back by Sunday the 21st, I'm going to Seattle for a week to see my folks while my brother is in town, so it could be 3 weeks before I see my pride and joy again.

I talked to the guy today though, and he said he might be able to get it done under 2 weeks. Keeping all my fingers/toes/other appendages crossed...

damn thats gonna look bad ass when its finished.

ci5ic · 07-30-2002, 11:00 PM

Okay, finally got the pics of the original, it's not completely done yet (they're still painting the wing, side mirrors, and door handles, but this gives you an idea).

look like a "mile deep" paint job to me. Its looking good, I just hope the paints as smooth as it looks in the pics

ci5ic · 07-30-2002, 11:35 PM

It is perfect, and the body is STRAIGHT as hell. They've had the car for 3.5 weeks now, it better be perfect! I'm supposed to get it back tomorrow, so I'll have more pics.

is that photoshop, and if it is, what tool are you using to draw w/?????

I love that kinda stuff, and I want to learn how to do it..!

illracer · 07-31-2002, 04:49 PM

Yeah, I used photoshop to draw the little cartoon car. Pretty much, all I used was the marquee tool and the air-brush tool.

Thanks! The hood is functional. I don't have the screens or the duct installed yet. It's not a ram-air hood, cuz it doesn't connect directly to the intake, but it's a cold-air induction hood. So basically it brings cold-air from the scoops and routes it to the front of the engine where the intake is.

Got the car back today, so I took some pics and posted them in a forum here. Here's the link to that thread. Beware though, there's 9 pics, and they're all just under 100K, so if you're on dial-up, it'll take a little while to download...
