First I thought about putting this into my cars thread since it's closely related, but I guess it's better to give it it's own.
I recolored the gas station by Sims Design Avenue to have several brands.
I made two versions of each, you can choose new and shiny or old and grungy (great for flashbacks in stories). Everything is simified, I mean REALLY everything, even the two lines inside the pump you can hardly read.
Pennzoil and Texaco are based on the real logos of course, the third (United Minerals) I made up myself.
I planned on doing three more themes (blue, green and black) but I'm too busy to finish these anytime near, so I split it up into parts. Have fun with part I! As always, all files compressorized!

(I assumed the signs as painted wood, so they're not rusty but "rain washed".)

For these you need the meshes from Sims Design Avenue. Their site doesn't allow direct links so follow my description: go to Themes > Out of The Way (at the bottom) > Community > the gas station is at the bottom

For clarification here's a list of the exact items you need:
Lithium enseigne FRANTHIUM.package = big sign
Lithium panneau prix essence.package = price board
Lithium pompe essence.package = gas pump
You might also want to keep the Lithium depanneuse.package, that's the tow truck. (I already had grungy recolors for that but just realized they're not by SDA. Ha! I already found them: grungy tow truck by drewshine (insimenator), thanks )[/align]
As a bonus my gas stations come with a set of metal siding garagedoors in blue, light blue, black, steel and rust, using the stock maxis door. There's a slight distortion around the windows area (although I used the black windowless recolor as base and it's all straight on the template) but I hope you like it anyway.
