Type-R Custom Paint Job

[Tarrol]

Spent some time in the good old photoshop making a custom CTR paint job. The paints colors themselves are from the base CTR colors (rallye red, championship white, crystal black) from the Honda civic build & price tab on the Honda website.

Besides slight mistakes in the detail and maybe not the greatest text font I could have chosen, what do you think of the design? All criticisms and compliments appreciated alike.

Nice photoshop skills but not a fan of the half black, half white. I think solid stock colors look better, and add some red/black/white accents to customize it.

I suggest black from the pillars up, winglets in black, roof in black. Absolutely no Type R typography on the doors. I'd lose all red accents on the outside too, so the lower bodywork would be just black.

I'll see about making a version that looks like what you describe. Any particular base colors w/ color accents you'd like to see? Also, do you have any specific accent locations in mind?

So basically... A black civic type r? Or did I misunderstand something? The roof is already entirely black.

Take a white Type R, black out the roof and A/C pillars (the B pillar is already black). Take the white winglets of the rear wing and paint them black too. Leave the rest stock, and remove all the red from the lower body effects.

Pardon the very rough WIP, I intend to touch it up a little in a second - but is is this what you had in mind? (I also carbon'd out the red trim from the underskirts, let me know if it adds or removes from the idea)

Yup - not sure if I like it or not but its what I was trying to picture.

Let me know if you have something else in mind that you'd like to see! I'm open to trying out some other ideas as well, since photoshop is one of the past-times that I like to mess around with.
One of my ideas is to try to reimagine the Mazda Miata Veilside RX7 from Fast and Furious Tokyo Drift using the CTR platform.

Please don’t do this to an actual car

It’s a fine piece of machinery ... it’s flashy enough ... pick a solid color and drive

There was a sedan in these colors a while ago. It got impounded soon after it came out of the bodyshop i guess cops didn't like it

Well, to each person's preference

I wouldn't do my initial design without further thought or input from an actual designer - there's more than one thing I don't like that I'd like to straighten out before I would ruin a civic x with such a design ^^

Everyone knows that how cool your car looks has a 1:1 ratio of how fast it goes. This paint job, plus some ridiculous wheels and a bigger spoiler, adds like 450 horsepower. Breaks laws, for sure. Cops already know what's up.

Btw What photoshop are you using? On a PC?

Yeah, I'm using Photoshop on the Adobe CC platform. Licensed through my school's discount, so the CC package is much cheaper. Running on PC, as you mentioned.
