For the screen name, maybe another layer, but set the opacity to something like 50%. I'm going to do some experimenting with that.

Okay, it involves a merging a copy layer and a text layer, and then masking the original layer, but I figured it out. Is this what you had in mind?

If that's what you had in mind (you can put the text anywhere, any angle, and any opacity), let me know, I'll pm you instructions

I pretty much just looked up tutorials and went from there (I started with turning the pic black/white and leaving one item colored). And now I'm just experimenting with color changes (on small stuff like wheels... maybe tonight I'll try a whole car, it's my last night before class and I have nothing to do lol)

that looks pretty cool (and I'm liking the si 7-spokes on the teg)

anyway, I'll see if I can find the url for the tutorials. I have it in the history on my desktop back home, but I'm on my laptop at school right now, so I have to find the link again.

*edit: that took less time than I thought lol... here's the link, I used the first tutorial and then just experimented with different things to get the clear hood (but for that kind of stuff, you need two identical pictures, one with the hood open, one with it closed. I'm sure you can do it with two different pics, but I'm not that skilled yet lol)

no, I believe he sold the civtegra a while back, now he has a 4dr integra. The civtegra was a hatch, wasn't it?
