you might want to specify what ground effects you are referring too first off. and i dont know if you can actually chrome the wheels in PS

the reason why i want to have the ground effects like that is because before i had my cobalt i had an 89 chevy cavalier z24 and that had the silver ground effects and i loved it and the parts im talking about is the bottom parts on the SS.i dont know how else to explain it.. they look like ground effects to me lol. hopefully someone can help me out.

I'm not skilled at doing chrome.. might just need to find the chrome SS 17" rims and photoshop em in there.. but finding similar angle images is the issue then to get realism...


anyway I did a quickie version with silver SS/SC ground effects (lip kit, side skirt) although it tends to just look like gray.

I did a bit of an attempt at chroming the existing wheels in the picture....


I don't know the right tricks to really do that yet I believe ... whatever... lol
(real chrome appearance tends to rely heavily on reflections of the surrounding real world environment that the object is in ....)

but here ya go...

YUCK! I dont think many cars can pull off a two tone paint job.... and Id have to say this car cant.... well not like that at least.... however the 300c two toned is worth drooling over :-)

The Monte Carlos had an optional two-tone with a different color lip kit.... looks alright I guess... I'd like to see it in black...

to each his own.....but to me it will never look anything other than mismatched.

like you bought it second hand from a guy with a silver car.....which is usually the reason cars look like that....
