Origin Lab body kit FC

Has anybody seen this kit in person to see what it looks like? I am possibly interested in the rear bumper and side skirts but would like to see the parts on an actual car.

I like this one.



That's not an actual photo though. They obviously used lightwave or something to 3D render it. There's no way to judge how the actual fitment would be unless we could see a car that the kit has been put on. All the actual photos of other cars look really good. I am thinking it's expensive though.

so you're saying you can tell the fitment quality by a photoshopped picture?

Im sure it fits just as bad as every other kit made by any other company for any kind of car in the world.......hello! welcome to the wonderful world of body kits....

The photos are real they were photoshopped to change the color and create the two tone look on some of the images. It is good work. The kits are awesome. To lightwave then use photoshop on each ane every image would take too much time and would not look as good as a photo. Unless they were masters and there are very few. Look at the reflections and interior.

Photoshop is amazing.

I know they were real images... that's why I made the comment I did. Those pics don't look good at all. You can't see much detail in the side skirts. It's not "good work" by any means. They should have just taken good pics to begin with (not next to a shop door or when glares are present). Relayed on the photo quality instead of making up for stuff in PS.


BTW, I was just found the new Modified (april) and it has a non-chopped image.... Looked to be the same pic, but just had a more realistic look. There's also a pretty cool gold FC in that issue.

I like that two-tone look.... I might do that myself since I don't have the greatest of paintjobs anyway.

SECOND'D! The kit doesn't really stand out from the other kits I've seen, but I love that colorscheme!

The work is good in my opinion they could be better but they are still good. You are right about the picture location but how many people know how to use photoshop? Do you do any graphic work? (just curious). The two tone look is what I was originally going to do to my seven but i went all silver with black accents on other parts.

only thing about the two tone is how would you make the change on the rear fender? I'm not sure if a straight line color change would be ok or if i would need to put a strip of molding to hide the color change

That spot would be my conern also... the back of the car. It will be kind of a weird line to paint accross that. I've looked at it quite a bit wondering how I'll do it. I was thinking about going all the way up to the wing, but I don't want to go that far down. Dunno, it'll be a while before I get around to doing that anway. Gotta get the car running first. (It was stolen two years ago and I just started working on it again)


As for changing the color... send me pics of your car and I'll just change the top to black. That's much easier to do that.
