To some people this may be poor and to be honest it probably is. I know I haven't blended the front bumper in too well but I will get practice. MODS: lowered, M3 CSL bumper, M3 CSL side skirt, M3 CSL alloys. Got rid of the front door handle front indicator (side), fuel capsule, and back reflector! :o

what in the hell did you do to the front end?

It's not that bad for a first chop

I have done a couple more since then. Not many mods but im improving each one by trying them on cars in different angles

On the hummer pic work on getting rid of the flat part of the rim. you can do that by copying a piece of round rim that is in the same color/shadow area and fitting it over the flat messed up area.


On the 350z pic work cleaning up the bottom part of the picture. when you enlarge or lower the bottom of the car be sure to erase all remnants of the background that is on the enlarged layer (the layer with the new bumpers/sideskirt/anything..) and that way it will always look neater..
another thing is to try using the different lasso tools to make selections easier.. personally i prefer the point lasso tool were you manually select the area that you want to choose. another thing is to not be afraid to zoom in to delete unwanted things, that way your work will always look cleaner..

Keep up the effort and youll be improving in no time.
