Wow. I really love your two colors recolor.

Update: July 2009-I am back now to make invisible and tranparent recolors again in sims 2. You can pm me if you want your objects to be invisible and transparent from now.

Nicely done, Captain. The only thing is this: the two-tone color that is meant to be KARR is black over the gray/silver color. Sorry, I don't mean to be nitpicky. Excellent job. :D

I'm happy because there's a Sim of Sandrine Holt for The Sims 2.

Really? These colors are taken from the original picture of KARR, maybe it's just really dark blue? anyway these kind of comments are what im looking for so i know what to change in the uppdate, i myself tought that it might be a bit too light.

Sorry, but all "Knight Rider" fans know that KARR is black over gray/silver when it comes to his appearance in "KITT vs. KARR". Originally, KARR was full-on black with red scanner (like KITT) in the episode "Trust Doesn't Rust". He was still full black when he was recovered in "KITT vs. KARR", to get the two-tone later on in the episode. The only time that the top part of the paint job could be blue is if the sky is reflecting off it (which has occured a lot with KITT in certain angles).

The only thing that I can think of that has ever depicted KARR as navy blue over gray/silver two-tone is a remote control car that was released over in Japan.

Of course, you can refer to the recolor as the Maco Shark KARR recolor.

I have to agree about KARR, black and grey/silver. Although, if I'm not mistaken KITT actually had a paint job in the last season that what black and white. So this could be season 5 KITT. I'd have to get the DVDs out to be sure though.

captain-ultima- No problem. I guess it's the result of me being a long time KR fan (I was a fan ever since I was little. One of my earliest memories was watching the show). Actually, there's a report that there is a new reworking of the show is coming and that one of the latest Shelby Mustangs is going to be the new KITT (which is great in my opinion because of the fact that KITT, in the first couple of seasons, was made mention of as a Trans-Am. That meant that KITT was installed into a car that was ordinary and common in that period of time, which is useful than having some over customized, sticking-out-like-as-sore-thumb design).

n*h@wk- There have been some times which KITT has had different paint job colors, mainly due to either being on the job accident or purpose. For example, in "Junkyard Dog", he was dropped into a pit of acid. When he was recovered, his MBS was stripped from him and he was white for a while during his repairs. He had a flamejob painted on him when he posed as a racecar in one episode. He was also red at one point, where he had this plastic shell placed over him to make him look like this rare land-speed vehicle called the Linx in an episode in the 4th Season. Though there were some scripts made for a Season 5, the series only lasted for 4.

I'm happy because there's a Sim of Sandrine Holt for The Sims 2.
