Need ideas (Photoshop??) to Vinyl my SC4
I just bought a SC430 so now I am giving the SC4 to my daughter. She has always wanted a pink car, but I don't want to do it ALL pink. Looking for some creative fresh ideas to throw some pink on the car that want being too over the top but definitely stand out. Its the Pearl White. I'm on a loaner computer so I don't have any pics to put up, but its a bone stock SC4.

Maybe it could be a more tasteful pink? I mean if it absolutely HAS to be pink then I think some sort of dark pearl mica pink wouldn't look all that bad. But of course a lot of SC owners are gonna disagree with making the car pink, I really think you should just keep it white.

OK in a VERY respectful way let me say this. I understand this is the internet and I asked for opinions, but in all fairness I asked for different ideas as to different ways to two tone it by adding pink, NOT whether I should or not! And also keep in mind I'm gonna use Vinyl which I hope all on this board understands that it peels off whenever I choose to, so its not like I'm ruining one of our beloved SC's LOL. Now, she couldn't give a rats *** if her car is a SC or Neon, just so as its freaking Pink! But, I'd rather not sell the SC because me and the Wife love the car and we wanna keep it in the family. Plus 2 SC's in the driveway looks pretty pimp LOL. Please don't think I/m trying to start a keyboard war here I'm just trying to let everyone get a better understanding of my mindset on this matter. This Forum I think is the best place in the world to come to to get the ideas I'm looking for for this SC4 IMO.
I looked at the lines better this morning with the Foose idea in mind and the SC does not work as well as the Mustangs in this regard. I'm still not ruling it out but its gonna be a lil harder than I thought.

I think this pic of the Bug how it comes to a slope on the front fits the SC pretty good?

Also someone mentioned maybe a "cooler" shade of pink, I like the sounds of that also. But seeing as I'm limited to the colors of the wrap I don't think I 'm gonna get that many choices.

I actually think this can come out nice if done right, I dont know your budget or how far you want to go with the mods but heres my recommendation
-Window tint ($160)
-Decent drop (1-2'') ($300-$500)
-Matte black rims (similar to the ones pictured below) ($900+$600 for tires)
-Vinyl wrap entire car in a dark matte pink ($1500)
-Black out the emblems
-Black out headlight housing
In my opinion pink and black look good together, not sure about white. Here is a bimmer with the same color scheme. According to my estimation it should come out to about $3500 if you went this route

Tell your daughter "Too damn bad, no pink cars allowed while you're living under my roof" and be happy you saved yourself some money!
Honestly though I'm not a fan of two tone SC's, I've seen one in person and it just ruins the cars natural curves if that makes sense, it's off putting...
I don't know if this is possible, but they have a Lexus SC in Forza the video game, perhaps you can great a paint job on the game and get an idea on there for it....

OKOK, that is def over budget but I freaking like it. Thank you. Seriously. I like the matte solid pink look. But the only thing I don't like (never have) is the all black rims (even tho I admit that Beemer is hot)
So I have a set of Chrome cheesy aftermarkets (stock size) on the 430 that I plan on putting on the 400 when I slam the 430 on 20's. So maybe I will roll the 400 total pink wrap on chrome. I'm gona go M onday and find a wrap shop and get a quote on the different ideas.
and O btw, if it was a 300 5sp i would put the money in it as I def would be keeping it forever but its a 400 auto soooooo, its .... well you know lol.
