I've done some basic things with photoshop... but unfortunately have never become skilled enough to do things like change colors and erase parts of images and such. So I'm hoping maybe what I need done will be easy enough for someone to do quickly for me. I know it's a big favor to ask.. but I figure it someone wants to help out I can't pass that up!

I have a 2004 Pontiac GTO that is getting painted soon. I've decided to go with a matte (no gloss) paint finish, but having trouble deciding between white and grey.

I was wondering if anyone could use the following images to represent what the matte grey and matte white might look like on my car.

This one is the most important example image because it is starting out with a black exterior and red interior like my car now.

Other than changing the color it might be nice to have the wing erased (removing mine before paint and leaving it off) and the wheels changed to a true black instead of grey which is my plan, but most important is just the overall color.

My car should end up looking similar to this one, including the blacked out area on the front bumper.. so this image might be helpful for examples too. It is already white with black wheels, just a gloss white instead of the matte I am planning.

I am also considering blacking out a portion of the trunk area, so it would be awesome to see this photo also done with the matte grey and white to see how that would look. Also the wing could be erased, but not sure how easy that would be with this view of the car..

Here's an example of one of these cars with the wing removed

Here are the colors that I'm considering painting my car:

I know this is a lot to ask so definitely don't expect anyone to do every little thing I asked. But if anyone enjoys playing with images like this and wants to help me see what my car might look like, that would be much appreciated! Thanks everyone.
 
Pontiac GTO = Holden Commodore Monaro, which is a modern day classic. It would be sacrilege to mess with an Australian motoring icon.

Not messing with it too much, just a color change! Definitely respect the Monaro for the modern day classic it is and want to keep it mostly original. I actually wanted the Australian spec Monaro front bumper to change the look of mine to its true look in Australia.. but the cost is just too much. $1700 for a bumper and shipping to the US!
 
GTO AMERICAN MUSCLE.

Sorry guys, The Holden is kool, BUT the GTO is PURE AMERICAN MUSCLE

The first Pontiac GTO was an option package for the Pontiac Tempest, available with the two-door coupe, hardtop coupé, andconvertible body styles. The US$296, package included a 389 cu in (Template:Convert/6.5L) V8 rated at 325 bhp (242 kW) at 4800 rpm with a single Carter AFB four-barrel carburetor and dual exhaust, chromed valve covers and air cleaner, 7-bladeclutch fan, a floor-shifted three-speed manual transmission with Hurst shifter, stiffer springs, larger diameter front sway bar, wider wheels with 7.50 × 14 redline tires, hood scoops, and GTO badges. Optional equipment included a four-speed manual,Super Turbine 300 two-speed automatic transmission, more powerful "Tri-Power" carburetion (3 two-barrel Rochester 2G carburetors) rated at 348 bhp (260 kW), metallic drum brake linings,[SUP][4][/SUP] limited-slip differential, heavy-duty cooling, ride and handling package, and the usual array of power and convenience accessories. With every available option, the GTO cost about US$ 4,500 and weighed around 3,500 lb (1,600 kg). A tachometer was optional, and was placed in the far right dial on the dash.[SUP][5]

This 66 started the real GTO legend
