Boredom again so heres another tutorial. How to add intercoolers.

Open up your image. I'm using a chop I did before because if you have a duplicate of the background layer then it makes it so easy to add an intercooler because you can just put it behind the duplicate layer:

Then find a donor intercooler off a car:

Then lasso round the intercooler and copy it into your image:

You might have intercooler showing through the headlight gaps or something so just delete the excess crap:

And your done. This is only a rough job so its a little unclean in places but you get the idea.:)

yea, we get the idea, and i think that your "better" at taking screenshot thing makes the pictures blurry, weird lol, but beh, its good, though you must remind others to not put your I/C over the mesh grill lol, make the mesh grill ON the I/C later on or just undo the original meshes...:)

Thats just imageshack. It severly reduces the quality of the images for some reason.

The mesh needs to go in front of the intercooler - and you had a cruddy donor :(

Again, another great tutorial jamesy. Hmm, this might prove useful in the PS Comps... Oh and that pic of the car with the intercooler looks weird and freaky, if you stare at it for a long time i get scared.:D Anyways great job!

No sh-t. It was just a quick job anyway and I didn't put that mesh on there. The donor was crap though weren't it.:(
