this first!:
Probably
one of the more difficult Photoshop's to do. Adding body
kits and other body parts can prove very difficult if you don't
have patience or the right tool knowledge. The closer the
angle already is, the smoother the process will be. Color
matching can also prove difficult if you don't have experience
with it yet. More advanced color changing techniques
include:
"Replace Color" "Levels"
"Hue/Saturation" "Brightness/Contrast"
"Color Balance"
It
is highly recommended that you use pictures that are already
close in angle and color if you are not experienced enough to do
such tasks. To use the sample pictures I used for the
tutorial, click below:

We
are going to attempt to put the front end of the BMW onto the
Bentley.
|

|
 |
First
step is to trace an outline of the BMW bumper using the tool.
Tools used in
this step:
Poly Lasso

After
we've made our selection, we're going to copy and paste it onto
the Bentley canvas. You can also drag-and-drop if you have
both BMW and Bentley canvases already open.

Now
comes some tricky stuff. We need to transform our BMW
front end to match that of the Bentley's.
For starters, our BMW bumper is backwards. Let's flip it by
going:
-Edit
-Transform
-Flip HorizontalThen we are
going to use a series of transforming methods to get the right
fit. Try some of these methods:
Edit -Transform -Scale
Edit -Transform -Skew
Edit -Transform -Distort
Edit -Transform -Rotate
Edit -Transform -Perspective

Once
you feel you have a good fit, we want to match colors as close
as possible. This is probably the most difficult step. Check
out the tutorials on changing color for different methods. I chose two
cars that are already relatively close in color. So, for
that close match I am going to bring my levels up a tad as
shown.
-Adjust
-Image
-Levels

Now
I noticed that the Bentley has somewhat of a cyan/blueish tint
to it. So while my BMW bumper layer is still active, I am
going to add a hint of cyan and blue by using the Color Balance:

-Adjust
-Color Balance

Our
edges of the BMW bumper are kind of rough. To add a
blending appearance, I am going to use the eraser tool and erase
edges of the BMW bumper to give that blending effect. You
can start to see how it is important to match the bumper as
closely as possible as well as get a close color match.
Tools used in
this step:
Eraser

And
boom! We have a Bentley with a BMW front end.
