Okay guys... I'm not personally very good with photoshop, but I know that a lot of you guys are. Seeing as a lot of you like to include carbon fibre hoods with your creations, I figured: "Why not take it another step?"
This contest is to see who can do the best job on this 944 Turbo, incorporating as much (preferably well-done) carbon as possible. You can do as much as you want, from just the hood, to entire body panels, etc. You can add rims and other accesories if you so desire, but that's not really the aim of the game.
Remember though, the chop will be judged on overall quality and realism. A well-done chop with CF hood and mirrors will do much better than a full-bodied CF one that's been done very badly.
Let's get to it! :)
Good luck!

I guess I'll give it about a week or so :)
If it's still busy in a week, it'll go a bit longer, so people might even have time to edit and revise, etc.

can we use a pic with more reflections?

New rule update...
You can use any picture you want, but it needs to be a 944 Turbo. It's fairly difficult to find pictures that are good and hi-res though, so I tried to provide you with a decent one.

This one might do... take a look around if you want to enter the competition though, I'm sure there are better pictures to work with out there!
Any 944 Turbo will do :)

CF has a bronzey tint to it, so i added that. It looks more reailitic than no colour at all, just look at real CF.

i think you're mistaking cf for cf/kevlar weave. I guess real cf does have a slight bronze tint, not that much though..gj none-the-less :)
