I'm not crazy about most aftermarket hoods but this one I feel is actually a nice design, I like it! Great job

Think you could photoshop it red and try and put white rallys on it? I dont know if you can do it though

Cant wait to see this mounted with the mail slot. Looks like it has a higher profile cowl as well. I am concerned about the water distributinon as well. Is ASC building this for you as well?

I'll give it a shot in the a.m. I'll have to find a pic pf rally stripes at the same angle... You want it all red with white rally's? Or the center black?

Just some skills in Photoshop. :P Didn't spend a lot of time on it but you get the idea I think.

Lol, adding highlight is where I'm lost. I can get rid of shine and make it matte, but not the other way around.

Buffnshine · 07-31-2012, 02:04 AM

That looks amazing

I just used a combination of selections, brush tool, eraser, blur filter, blur tool, pen tool (for stroking the thin line highlights with a brush), and white paint. Adjust layer blend modes and opacity as needed, but as the background is black (or dark gray), any blend mode other than Normal might not show up well enough.

Do it on new layers so it's easy to go back, and I try to keep each highlight on separate layers for flexibility, instead of putting all highlights on one layer.

I took a computer art course (many years ago), so I should have thought of some of that.

I'll need much more than my laptop's trackpad to make the most of the tools. Thanks!
