Hey guys. I shopped some pics here to see what these colors would look like if my grill was color-matched. Car's not even mine, don't know who's it is but i did the grill and the headlights. Thanks to whoever has the car. I don't know if different people traffic different forums but i'm assuming it works a like that a bit. I don't get a lot of opinions on aesthetics over in the exterior forum so i thought maybe you guys might be more artistically inclined here and could appreciate what i'm trying to do. Anyway, hope this thread doesn't get moved... it shouldn't but whatever. Thanks in advance for any opinions or help.
This picture has the headlights tinted gray, the grill insert gray, and the inside orange. I really like orange and gray together so i'm trying to incorporate it into my design. I need the outer part of the grill to be color matched so that it will be more integrated with the car. This is because my bumper was originally for a euro focus that has the outer grill built into the bumper. Unfortunately they had to change that for our version. So I'm trying to trick the eye into seeing that buying matching that sections color with the front bumper. I believe that feature is what made the euro car look so agressive and that is what I am shooting for. Ok, enough talking, here is the pic.

Here is a pic of my car as it is today.
If someone could make the grill color-matched I'd really appreciate it and rep em. I can't figure out how to do it realistically in ps. Matching the paint realistically is difficult. Thanks in advance if you can do this. Thanks for all the help guys. SPACE
