I'd like to try a forum-wide custom idea that many of you may appeciate due to its nature.

I've been wanted to make a down-and-dirty, junky, street racing car for a while and its finally nearing a completion stage.

The main idea is to use a street car of your choice.
Any base color. Any trim color.
Add weathering/damage/etc of your choice.
Paint 40-60% of car's parts in plain colors gradually different from base or trim colors to represent quick replacements of the selected parts.
Add any 5-10% of the surface deco of your choice.
Add any white double-digit number to the windows.

Now its a dirty battler that looks much better than stock and can(SHOULD) race unlike your other pwetty shelf-queens. Paint trading and small nicks from others will only add onto the overall look, so the more you race the better such car looks. Make it quick. Make it your fave colors. Make it your fave race car.

Who wants to give this a try? I know Arch wanted to try something of this sort and I'm hoping that my local buddies will join me in this idea.

Will post pix of my 86 at the most in 12 hours from now.

You are thinking of a look like this?

Precisely, just finish that guy up according to new guidelines and you're RTR :D

Here's my own:

Also, this IS NFS Prostreet inspired and can be a very nice and easy RC <-> Game project to double the fun of this project. Whoever has it on PS3, feel free to PM/IM me and we could duke our franken-cars out.

My only shelfe queen now is KITT and my metallic gray Altezza. Hey, I'm not bashing the idea, I like it! This way, you dont' care if it gets bruised or not! It aint' like trying to drive a shelf-queen beauty and then crying cause it got hurt.

Yep. Its basicly to get your fave colors on there in the areas you want and just race to collect damage and others' paint to further your own car's look.
