Ok... let's see... what all did I do to this thing? Lowered it, tinted the windows, sawed off the antenna, debadged the rear end, and put on some new wheels, complete with brakes. Be gentle!

Here's the original (the color is tweaked a little, but otherwise original), click for full-size image:



And here's the chop, again.. click it:


I'm going to bed now... I have to get up at 4am!

Looks good for a first chop
Rims look REALLY nice IMO

is the brake dish real or not?

 

[nY1018]

pretty nice.

I took the wheel/brakes off of this car and put them onto mine, so no.. they're not the tC's brakes, they're from an Audi. http://www.edgeracing.com/images/gallery/g...40804121002.jpg

I'm going to play around with this some more later. Thanks for the comments, all.

oh, you put the whole rim onto the tC
i thought rim + brakes + shadow
i was like gotta ask how u do that shadow...

Sorry to disappoint you.

Man, I wish those rims would really fit on my tC. I'm told the offset they come in won't work. The more I look at them, the more I like them.

Great chop!!! The rims are okay but I'm sure you could find one's a lot nicer. Don't let the fact that they won't fit on your car bug ya too bad!!

 

[Drift Motion]

i like those rims

now have u read all the instructions?
if so post up a even better chop

 

[neo-truth]

I dunno what else to do to it. I played around with the colors some, but it looks worse than the first chop:

I darkened the tint some, changed the body color, cleared out all the lights, made the wheels a gold-ish color... I think that's it. I tried to make the exhaust tip gold-ish to match the wheels, but I couldn't get it work how I wanted, so I just left it as is.

It's hard to do colors without making them look fake.

Btw... I think I might have a good way to shadow the brake rotors if you're adding them in seperate (I haven't tried it yet, those are the same wheels as before with brakes already attached). But, I used this technique on here. Basically, after I colored the wheels, I used the polygon tool and went in between the spokes of the wheels and then desaturated that. Or instead of desaturate you could just change up teh brightness/contrast to make it shadowed... I dunno, I'll have to try it later. Just thought I'd share.

There should be a sticky thread in this forum... Tips, Tricks, and Tutorials.

makes sense! select the spoke --> move it lil to the side --> desaturate --> darken it, done
i like those gold rims btw
