    Possible complete project. Your thoughts wanted

    Ok, so here's what I have floating in my little head:

    MAGNUM SUPERBEE

    Am I nuts?

    Scorching yellow main theme with black accents (not entire back and hood like on the real Super Bees), chromed wheels, replace red seat stitching with yellow, and add a few more performance goodies. I am already looking at a complete setup from Heat regardless of doing the Super Bee theme or not.

    If any PS magicians would like to throw some ideas on here, they are welcomed.

    I'm thinking main body up to door sills in yellow, top of car in black. Black follows down middle of hood (following the bulges in hood) to a point right above the grille.

    And then I have to wonder how expensive those large Super Bee fender badges are going to be!

    Maybe if you do the opposite and have yellow stripes. Black w/ yellow instead of yellow w/ black?

    I was waiting for somebody to come up with something like this. Go for it, Bandit. The Charger needs to share the spot light with a Magnum anyway. All those different Chargers and our Maggies still have the same options...............if DCX won't do it then you definitely should!

    I was going to click "I like Peanuts"but I am intrigued by this.I think the main color scheme needs alot of work but done tastefully it should look very cool.Your going to look like a taxi if you leave the whole top half black.I think if you left the main black and used yellow accents it would look cleaner.Remember the original Superbee's were stripped down,minimally badged Coronets with a hood scoop and stripe.

    I like the idea but need to see some photochop pics first ... I'm afraid it might look like the short bus.

    Rock on man. I was thinking about the same concept, since Yellow is my favorite color, but I haven't had the time to really develope it into anything real. I would really like to see some PS on the idea.

    go for it! but the black sections need to be just 'right' so it does not look like a taxi or public utility vehicle. Try to think of how the dcx designers would do it -- they have a pretty good eye on great design.

    Hmmm, taxi can or short bus....

    Maybe I should rethink this? LOL

    I think a PS is what's really needed. If anyone can PS an SRT Magnum with some ideas, that would be great!
