Photoshop Request!!

Like the title says.... Photoshop request!! Help me fall back in love with my car guys. I've been thinking about selling her due to loss of interest, and looking into a 2013 Camaro 1LE. Everyday I change my mind, and think maybe if I had different wheels, or if I got cams it would help me want to keep my car. On that note, can someone photoshop a graphite color onto my stock polished SS/SC wheels? I want to see what my car would look like. Maybe the new look will help me out with my final decision. Thanks in advance! I look forward to the results

You could do it yourself with plasti-dip. that way if you don't like it you can just peel it off.
But don't paint polished wheels. those are rare and nice, i'd sell them before you paint them.

I have a heat exchanger.

Infact, I just removed the lower grille the other day.

I like how it looks w/o the grille better.

Those wheels look nice.

I'm not a wingless fan or badgeless fan though.

Nice photoshop though. Thanks!

Yeah, I love how they look cleaned up, but I also love the graphite look.

I ordered the polished wheels on my car, because I heard about the SS/SC gunmetal wheels flaking & chipping. I didn't want to deal with that.

If I did change the color, I would have them powder coated for sure.

I love the color of your wheels. That's what I'm looking for!

I still want to install a GMR exhaust ported head, cams, and hook up my nitrous feature on my GMR S3 PCM.

Kev, I never thought this day would come....

I need to spice the balt up a bit (either more power or visually) to help me change my mind on selling.

I really think graphite colored stock SS/SC wheels will look mint with my color. That might help jump start me back into modding.

I will then more than likely purchase comp cam s2 cams and proceed with my GMR build.

I don't have a M62

I can get over 300whp with my GMS3 pulley and my "special" hybrid blower

Cams should get me right there.

I'm not far off right now with race gas (285whp +/-). I would like to source a GMR head, do S2 blower cams, and valve springs though. That was my goal all along. Plus, I still need to install my nitrous wires that came with my GMR S3 kit.

whoops thats right lol i forgot that little detail. i would deff be pushing that h62 if i was in your shoes. exterior wise i honestly love the blue balts more the lsj blue than the lnf one. its one of my favorite top colors white(lnf) and blue(lsj) being the first ones. and i really like how they go with polished stocks. i would just keeps the stock headlights with the chrome retros and do some coilovers.

I like that look.

Sadly, I have the black housing headlights now. That's why I feel dark wheels would make the car look sharp again.

I'm not a fan of SS/TC seats. I enjoy my heated leather

We kind of went off track.... Let me get us back on track.

I'm not looking to totally change the look of my car. I originally just wanted to see what graphite colored wheels would look like on my car. I feel wheels have one of the biggest impacts on changing the over all look of a car.

I'm very happy with the current power level, and if I keep the car, I will push her further with cams, valve springs, 7.5k limiter, and ported head.

So, on that note, can any one photoshop a graphite color onto my stock SS/SC wheels?

Thanks guys, and thanks for all the opinions & comments

I've considered aftermarket wheels....

I would like to see what my wheels would look like on my car in a dark graphite color like riceburner has.

I love the look of the SS/SC 18's, they are unique.
