Awesome job man, I'd rock it :thumbsup:

[Rockefella]

The carbon and front kit aren't perfect, but everything else is great. Nice job.

[Kooper]

Very nice! Only thing that looks strange is it appears like both pics are somehow squeezed. Kind of like when you watch a 16:9 movie at 4:3 aspect ratio.

Other than that, pure gold.

Seems like the tinypic server has pooed itself, in the future please use the attachment system to ensure trouble free viewing of your work. I'll look later, when it's possible...

really good you should definitely enter the chop comps

[NSXType-R]

Yeah, the car seems to be taller than it should be...?

But yeah, other than that, it's awesome.

Looks great, but you forgot to fatten the tyres :P

Now do this one!

Hey mate, good to see another NZer on here! :)

Unfortunately i cant say im diggin the chop to much... I also got into PC mag on that one (mine was the blue and black one racing in the tunel), and i must say that the criteria for getting into the mag MUST be wack! The winners are usually terrible c+p jobs, pixelated, off skew junk and i dont even get a look in after 20+ hours of work...[/end rant] Im not saying your one is one of these tho... just that 90% are terrible.

Carbon needs to be worked on. Looks like a strange distortion/twirl going on to get an effect that didnt quite work. Play with opacity, blending options, brightness/contrast till you get a level of transparency and contrast you like. Reduce the size of your weave too.

I really dont get wats goin on behind the front bumper...??? Bits of metal pushed up to the front? :S

good job, for sure, but I saw you, you usedthi pic of the 2004 Mustang GT-R Concept, for the front grill at least

[superwaxer]

Thanks guys. Yeah I think I might have resized them incorrectly or something they do look a bit squeezed. I agree that the carbon looks weird I usually don't have any troubles with carbon but on this car it was hard. I struggled with the different lines and I didn't spend enough time on it I suppose. :o

Man, the new civic is straight out of a comic book; and I mean the original pic.

[Spastik_Roach]

Problem is last time I checked performance car the pics of the chops are tiny. Depending on what you do with your chop that can turn out good or bad for you though.

seriously tho - decent work.
