I would loose the mudflaps. They sorta stick out and draw attention. I would also black over that front keylock hole. Really great work though!!!
That's more time than I have to donate to such a project.

The "chrome" accent around the window sticks out like a sore thumb, looks nice though! Great work!

thanks guys.
i'll probly be doing another one (or few) in the future for when i do more exterior mods.
the mudflaps and everything are only there cuz that's how my car looks.
i didn't really wanna make it look how i wanted, but more how it is.
(although i did drop it a little haha)
but thanks for the good words.
i could possibly start doing them for fellow orgers, but that would depend on how many people want them (since they take a significant amount of time)

Looks awesome. Not a fan of the backdrop, but otherwise everything looks great .

These are why we should have a photoshop/artwork section!

how so? what makes it easier in illustrator? i've used it before, but not as much as photoshop, so obviously PS would be my program of choice.

Thats awsome. You got some photoshop talent. Make it white, 95, minus the mudflaps, it looks just like mine. Love the 17" 350z wheels.

I guess it's a matter of choice then.. none the less you got some pshop skills for sure
personnaly, to do outlines, I prefer using illustrator.. but then I would use pshop to "color" it in..

How did you go about doing the gradient for the exterior color of the car? That's something that has always been a pain for me and I wonder if im just doing it the wrong way.

on the artwork/photoshop/photography section. That'd be awesome!

umm i think i just outlined the basic area that was lighter with the pen tool, then made a selection of that shape, made a new layer above it, and did the gradient in that selection. then u hide the original shape and the gradient should be there.

i hope that makes sense haha let me kno if it doesn't.

mainly it's the pen tool.

That looks sick, my one comment would be make the bumper light more orange or clear, right now it looks yellow, and isnt your corner light orange too?
