week 8 Challenge: Pimp My Ride Challenge

Post by **TheStig** » 12 Feb 2005, 23:23

the CHallenge for week 8 will be the Pimp my ride challenge:

goal:

pimp out your car!

rules:
1 you can use any car in the game
2 you are allowed to use any part vinyl decal or color in the game!
3 you are not allowed to use anything not originally in NFS U2 (like vinyls etc)

for the new rules check the new rules topic in the News section.

you can read the full rules and submit your car from Sunday 0.00 GMT!
so this gives you some time to build a car before you can upload it

My apologies that this message was written late in the evening

Sorry, but what is "Pimp My Ride?" Don't think I've ever seen it!

Am I right in thinking you have to make your car "spotty" in some way? Not sure there is a vinyl for that? Or would that be "Pimple My Ride"?

Or perhaps I have to post cards from phoneboxes in Soho on my motor?

I've just read the end of your post again, Stig. But in this country the rappers drive black SUV's with blacked-out windows. Ho hum, I guess I'll manage somehow (I really must "Get down with the kids" I guess!)

this means you have to do it a bit ricey

Supra-man · Post by **Supra-man** » 13 Feb 2005, 04:24

it doesnt have to be ricey.
ok, it sorta does but basically its a lowrider, spinning rims, and suicide doors. just a hint.

we'll go breakin' till dawn and finish with a SHOUT!!!

I noticed that alot of people used some extensive photoshop work for this challenge!

as the Challenge rules state:

you are not allowed use eextensive photoshop work!
so a completely edited background etc and all kinds of large editing is NOT allowed and the cars Will NOT be accepted.

because this is a PIMP MY RIDE Challenge the PIMP MY RIDE logo is allowed and so is a west coast Customs logo and small funny things like that!

but don't go creating big flashy backgrounds and stuff like that
don't let the democar inspire you to use alot of editing work!

The Challenges are about the cars NOT your photoshop skills
