I changed the car color to orange and put it back together as a .srf. I don't have a Garmin so I can't do any testing to see how this works.

I'm not taking requests to make colors, I just wanted to put this tool out there to help the color process.
I tried this method a while back with mixed results. Everything seemed okay when it was still in Photoshop and even when I converted it back to .srf, but when I loaded it on to my Garmin there was this weird semi-transparent box around the vehicle.

It wasn't as noticeable when it was in daytime mode, but it was REALLY obvious in night mode.

I have since traded in my 07 for a 09 TW, so I stopped trying. The red Fit is fine for now, but I'll eventually get around to changing it to white... maybe. It'd be really cool if someone could come up with an 09 too!
