Default Photoshop: Blue and black RC350

Maybe you are familiar with that moment during Christmas when you have some spare time in between activities. I had such a moment, and I was wondering what the RC would look like in black and blue.

So I opened photoshop and had some fun time changing the colors. The outcome is far from professional, I would need much more time for such a result, however I do think it gives a nice impression. The black one is my first attempt and has quite some imperfections, the blue one is my second attempt and I found that to be a little better.

Anyway, I wanted to share the result with you:



Or black using the grey values:


and the original renders for comparison:



I expect Lexus to release more images during Detroit or even before that, so I don't think I'll end up fixing and refining these images.

Nice work. I'm in the process of putting down a deposit on one of these.

Thanks. I am considering one as well. Right now it's between de GS450h and this one. The biggest issue being that the 350 model will not be available in The Netherlands, this leaves only the RC300h. And there is a big power gap between the RC300h and the GS450h. So I am kind of facing the choice between power and looks.

Anyway, good luck with your next car! And of course also with the wait...

I can't wait either to see that car IRL.

On request I also did a few more radical colors on the RC:





But for the rest I am kind of finished with that. Now I just want to see the car.

Red seems to really compliment the RC350 the best.

Black is the best IMO, but I'm biased

Now this would be a neat color to offer

This one reminds me of the LF-CC Concept

the RC has the front of the ISF and the rear of the FR-S. seems to be a mixture of both. my question is, is this suppose to be the successor of the Lexus SC????

Nicely done. Hube, would you mind doing these cars in 1- Metallic Yellow and 2- Metallic Light Brown? Would love to see how these 2 colors would look. Thanks.
