Pretty sure all those wheels are made to order. Get whatever finish your heart desires! (if you have the funds, that is)

Actually I quite like the looks of the taillights on that car... dunno what you could do to improve them but hey anything is possible ......peace

Well the wife likes her jewelry so I will have to put a nice set of rims on it . I was thinking about 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 10 rear.
She like these rims I saw yesterday the are Asanti AF 165, can someone please photoshop these on the car for her.
the rims




the best side shots of the car that I have

troyboy JUN 12, 07:49 AM
could someone also photoshop a few tail light mods for her also thanks



First the stock Enterra lights with a smoked lens cover
and then the smoked lens cover over Two round lights

Aight, did a quick dirty mockup using the mighty power of Paint.NET for ya. Without dimensions of the original tails, it's hard to know which round modules would work, so I just sorta guessed it with some random round combination units. YMMV.





Hope this helps guys! Curious thing this Enterra, could turn out absolutely stunning with the right massaging to the bodywork. Archie will see it right.

Aurrgh, clearly it's late - I didn't read the whole brief. Smoked covers over two rounds. Coming right up...

Agreed..... That car is quite striking in very nicely done black and if done very carefully it can look very exotic and interesting. If done poorly, well, it will look like a cheap mutant firebird wannabe. If you ask me it is the stance, you gotta get that car down to the ground and on some nice wheels and wide tires. Those asanti's are nice but look a bit too....uh... busy? The car needs some more high performance oriented EURO LOOKING wheels somehow. Those five star HRE's would work or something similar. I dunno. As far as the taillights, I like the stock smoked look. Part of what makes that car interesting is the classic retro look it has. It is like nothing else on the road today. Personally I'd try to keep it that way. The back of the car needs to sit slightly higher than the front of course but again it needs to be done tastefully and getting that nose down low would be a priority for me if it were mine. Less.....CAMARO.....more......Detomaso.......or something like that. Oh and the center mounted exhaust with four tips would be sweet!! hehe Enjoy building it..... I think Archie will get it right. Peace

Lisa welcome !

Your car has soooo much potential. Like someone said with the right touches you will have an exotic looking stunner.

Got my popcorn and soda ready !

Thanks so much for the Photoshop rending for the taillights. I'm am leaning towards the stock Enterra lights with the smoke glass; updates the car without changing its original style. Now, as far as the wheels, I reserving my judgement until I see them photoshopped on the car. I'm asking Troy to post the HRE's I like as well.
