maybe you should paint the louvers blue
Photoshop time?

Magnums would look great on your car... but there are so many awesome rims that can fit your car perfectly.

i'll add those into the render in a bit. MS word tends to get finicky when i have PS open in the background, and vice versa

heres the car again, with andy's changes. i cleaned up the blue striped one and made the rest of the car less blue and also made a version with "blue" removed alltogether :P

sorry for motching up your striping job andy, but it was hard to get the black in right

opinions one what color combo looks better? oh and keep in mind that i plan on taking the side window louvers down (never use em) and only having the rear window louvers on (which arent in there as of yet)

i always liked black on white...

but you could do blue on white...

but those striped rock! and mag 500s always look good..but you would need a 5 lug conversion right?

and the roman numeral should be connected like this.

I went looking for a few II's with 5-lug conversions . . . and other 'stuff'.







Not 100% sure, but I think you may have seen those before.

Cool V8 emblems

Arin, I've got some Explorer V-8 emblems that I "found" somewhere, they are brandnew with the sticky stuff on the back. If you want a couple or 3, pm me your address. John btw, 2002 to 2005 Explorer

I like what you did with the 30II graphic Chris, looks a little better.

I photoshopped the II a little to make it more boss like, chin spoiler and blacked out headlight bezels. also turned the stripes black
