Photoshop request

Hey guys, I am about to get my car repainted because of various nics and dings and because im getting the JDubs kit, I was wondering if anyone here who is good at photoshoping could post a pic of a 5th or a 5.5 gen in the Radient Ember (orangey) color that the 6th gen came in.

Thanks to anyone who can help

I'm going to ask a stupid, off-topic question, because I haven't gotten to the point where I can identify different aftermarket body components by sight yet.

What lip, side skirts, and rear are on that blue maxima?

A good paint job wont run...haha.

I have a shop that was willing to paint my side skirts and rear valence for $1200, and install for another $600. That was from a custom shop, since I only paid somewhere around $600 for the parts, I went with a local shop for much less. He would have charged $400, but My car had got rear-ended at the time, he painted the parts with the rest of the panels for nothing. So they got a nice cash tip to buy the shop guys lunch. That is the other route you can go, just sit in traffic and have someone not pay attention to stopped traffic and hit you at 55 mph.

55mph!!! Lets tone it down to 20 if you do anything stupid like that on purpose.

Cause at 55 you might want to order yourself a neck brace or possibly a wheelchair.

hahahahaha

if its an accident then its fine.

i have some friends who actually did those insurance scams..... they got a good amount of $$$ back. The only thing thats stopping me from doing it is my morals. Ill earn it the right way. It will take a awhile but I feel better you know.

i really like the jdubs body kit. very clean and smooth.

3k sounds about right, actually a good price, a good paintjob, i mean quality, better than stock, should be 3-4k, but alot less orange peal than our paint has.

IMHO, if you're going to drop +$3k on a paintjob, you might as well get something non-traditional.

i definatly agree, no point in repainting a car the same color or even a normal color, your dropin the loot, personalizzzze it, make everyone say, "holy **** look at that color, ive never scene a car that color before", when that happens, the 3k was worth it
