Now that my 2004 GS430 has been replaced by my 2013 GS350, the mod bug has hit again. I don't want to go into the heavy suspension work that I did with the previous GS but would like to drop a bit with springs (probably Tanabe), body kit, maybe some wrap and wheels. I just did some light tints, changed the fogs to LED and put my I-Forged wheels on for now.
I am technologically challenged and there are so many talented people on these forums that have abilities beyond my own. I was wondering if anybody would be willing to photoshop the items that I am looking to do on my car (different combinations). I am not expecting it for free and would be willing to pay somebody for their time. Let me know if I could get your help with this.
I have always had black cars but I currently have a Riviera Red AWD Technology Plus Package Version
there is a photoshop section, FYI
congrats on your new purchase
Thank you for responding but I am not quite understanding. When I searched "photoshop" I only see different threads with different things photoshopped on GS's and other models. I would like to see how a specific body kit with a specific spoiler and specific wheels, etc. would look on a Riviera Red GS like mine. I have several combinations that I would like to see but I did not find one in any of those. Hopefully that makes more sense. I apologize for the confusion
Wheels, drops, color changes, etc are all pretty easy to do.
Body kits can be doable depending on the availability of "donor" pics of the kit or kits you want to see applied to your car. Plus your willingness to take extra, position specific photos of your car.
Nobody charges money here, it's all voluntary.

What an amazing forum with super people, thank you for that. I just thought this is so much work I did not want to take advantage of anybody (I sent Seize a PM with some of this info). Here is the info and a couple of more pictures of the car:
What I am looking for is the following (all of the images would include the Tanabe NF 210 Springs for the conservative drop, Wald Executive Front Lip, Side Skirts and Rear Bumper and the NON F-Sport Trunk Spoiler)
1. All of the above with everything in Riviera Red plus the 19" I-Forged Wheels currently pictured on car with the finish as shown
2. Same as 1. but aero parts all black (including trunk spoiler)
3. same as 2. but wheels in gunmetal like the OEM F-Sport wheels
4. same as 1. but wheels in black with lip same as it is now (polished aluminum)
5. Same as 1. but with OEM 19" F-Sport Wheels in Gunmetal
6. same as 5. but aero parts in black (including trunk spoiler)
Ok, so the tricky part is, like I said, the body kit.
I did a quick google image search for that kit on a 2013 GS350 and didn't really come up with anything other than a badly lit black one (good for effect, bad for seeing the car). Black is actually fairly difficult to change into another color convincingly, plus the bad artificial lighting would make it difficult match.
So, another option would be to take a GS350 pic that has the WALD kit on it already, change the color as best I can, and the wheels to give you the idea of what your car would look like. That is an easier option, but I get the feeling you want to see YOUR car done.... if so....
How bad do you want these? You said you were willing to pay for it so, I assume that means you really want these and you want the end result to be as good a quality as possible, correct?
If so, then while it is still free, you will have some leg work....
1) If you can find 2 pics of the Body Kit you want on a Lexus (preferably a late GS and preferably not black) .... one from a front/side angle and one from a rear/side angle. Pics need to be at minimum1024x768 resolution (but would prefer higher) and the pics of your car need to be close to the same rez as these donor pics.
2) Take higher resolution pics of your car, 1024x768 at a minimum (got a better camera?) from that EXACT angle (this needs to be as exact as possible, including height, the closer the match, the better the final result will be without the need for me to play photoshop tricks)
If you have a selection of "donor" pics to choose from (which would mean I did a really bad search when I tried) then choose ones that are at night, where the lighting is artificial but full, like in a parking garage or gas station. etc.
Also take the pics of your car in a similar environment to the donor pics..
There is an old term in computer programming called GIGO (Garbage In Garbage out) and it refers to the final product only being as good as the quality of the information going in. If you are willing to help, instead of pay, we can still probably get you want you want.
So, unless you want to take the easier route of not using your car, that's the task list..... =-p
Lemme know which option or if you have questions on anything.

My apologies for the late reply to your message, I am just swamped with my business and no time for anything else. I would actually be grateful for Option 1 as Option 2 will take me a long time (especially now) I had a very difficult time finding images and I used my I-Phone for pics as I don't have a great camera. I will send you the post with the Riviera Red GS ( I think Velgeen sp wheels product) That may help (as well I will download the images from the Wald site and see if you can just change the colour of the car and add my wheel choices- all of their stuff is on a black car unfortunately)
Ok, well it's late so I will have a crack at the other angle tomorrow.
Like I said, trying to color a black car is tricky, this about the best I can get it.
This is so amazing!!! I cannot thank you enough. This gives me a great depiction of the different combinations. I cannot wait to see the other angle and no worries, whenever you have time to get to that I will be very grateful.
I have always had black cars and that is why I wanted to add black accents to this red but the all red looks very clean to me. I really like something about everyone of these. My decision won't be easy.
