I've had some renderings done for my Malibu (thanks Ben!), to help me try to visualize how I would like the car to look when I finished. The car is 2 tone now, with the lower part black, and the upper part kind of a coppery colour (this is the way it looked when I bought it-2 toned by the original owner). Its not a bad look, but the interior is the claret colour, which is more of a red, than the current upper exterior colour, and the 2 colours are separated by a gold double pinstripe, which really doesn't go with anything on the outside of the car. I want the upper exterior colour to more closely match the interior of the car. The colour that I'd like to use on the upper part of the car, is the newer Mazda colour-its called soul red metallic. Its more of a ruby red colour, and it really pops in the sunlight. The lower area of the car will remain black, but I'd like to find a black that has a bit of metallic in it.
There are variations between the 2 renderings. The upper rendering utilizes a cowl induction hood, and the 17" Year one Z28/Chevelle SS style rims. The lower rendering uses the existing stock flat hood, but with Lumina Z34 style hood vents in it, and the 16" S10 ZQ8 wheels that are on the car now. In both views, you'll see that I want to go with the later Monte SS aero style outside mirrors, a custom front air dam under the bumper, and a modified Monte SS laydown rear decklid spoiler.
The majority of the people that have seen the artwork so far, tend to prefer the upper view, as opposed to the lower. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the cowl hood, but its becoming pretty commonplace now, and I'd like something a bit different, and a bit more unique, and I think this would fit the bill.
Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
