If it Looks good and Works good then it's ok by me. Everything has its issues from time to time...

Re: Using GIMP to change your trucks color
Messin' around with photoshop to lower. Never thought to use photoshop or gimp for lowering till I saw this thread. Thanks for the ideas. If you take your time it looks pretty real when you change the ride hight. The first pic is the original. Which ride hight do like the best?

Re: Using GIMP to change your trucks color
I guess i'll put this here, cause I don't know where else to put it.
Got bored so I decided to see what a modern Bronco would look like based off a newer F-150 so I used the first photo to make my own Bronco concept, and I used photoshop to do so. I think its kinda neat lookin', what do you think.

Re: Using GIMP to change your trucks color
1967AceStroker, I like photo #2 ( photochop #1) I think that one is the best IMO.. photo # 3 is pretty good also but I think you would need some narrower tires.
I also like the "bronco"

Re: Using GIMP to change your trucks color
But I must have wide rear tires, if I do decide to lower it i'll just have to get a different offset so I can keep the wide rears.
