Talking Idea: RX-7 Customization Flash

Hey everyone,

My mustang friend showed me a fun flash site that allows you to change the color of the vehicle, rims, body kits, etc and I was thinking about making something like this for our generation RX-7. I have a few years of experience with flash and I don't think that it would be too hard to create. The hard part would be getting a good shot of an RX-7 to work from... SO!

Here's how you can help!

I need pictures of your RX-7 from the side. Preferrably in even light. I can use photoshop to generate different colors but I will need source pictures to work from to get the stock color codes correct.

So I need RX-7s in all colors. (these don't necessarily need to be from the side.)

Stock Colors as I found them:

86-88
Artic Silver Metallic - J5
Tornado Silver Metallic - K8
Brilliant Black - PZ
Sunrise Red - RH
Crystal White - UC
Dover White - WU
Noble White - WY
Satin Gold Metallic - 1A
Claret Metallic - 2H
Royal Maroon Metallic - 3A
Sapphire Blue Metallic - 5A
True Red - NP

89-92
Brilliant Black - PZ
Blaze Red - SQ
Crystal White - UC
Winning Silver Metallic - 1F
Shadow Silver Metallic - 3G
Harbor Blue Metallic - 5D
Brave Blue MC - 5N

I will also include the Infini IV "Shade Green" also known as, "Nobel Green Pearl".

Thanks for all the help and hopefully no one has beat me to this project... I've never seen a second gen customization flash before.

Thanks again,

I already have 5d but I need a good side shot of the Coupe model. So if you can snag a really level and even shot of your car that would help alot.

EDIT: heh, I guess Boostedrotor89 posted a good one but another shot won't hurt... keep 'em comin'!

do you have any flash work I can see? Like a website of your work?
No, I just have experience messing around in flash... nothing to show off... this would be my first attempt at a fully-functional anything. So, sorry if I made it sound like I have more experience than I do.

Here are two of my 89 TII w/ blaze red
Thanks, and nice 7!!
