My first ever chop, sweet!

The imge is small because I can't upload any larger, the limit is 80kb, sorry.
So far these are the thing I know are not right: The rear wheel, not enough detail work...

Here is the link where I got it from.

well you didnt do much but i like the graphics and it looks like theres no breaks in the rims and i dont like the color

The rotors are there. Hard to see but they are.
Thats not bad for a first chop though. The color choice is'nt to good.
A deep brandy look is great but hard to achieve and can can end up looking like light puke orange that you have there.
As for the graphics.. Why? Thats just plian to easy to do and takes no skill at all IMHO Unless it done reaaal well..
I'd back off from that part and learn window tinting. lowering, backround changing, shadowing..
Theres tons of things to do besides the simple wheel change, color, and splash graphics. Might look good to you but looks like a "quick fix" to make it stand out.
Seriously not bad though for a first!
Sorry so harsh but I just got home from the bar!

Pretty good for a first chop if you ask me but still needs some improvement.
Right at the end of the rear bar there is a space that hasnt been colored black.
and i think the rims could do with some enlargement too.

Ok here is my second chop, I think looks much better, I wanted a carbon fiber wing and hood but i have no luck with carbon fiber, it looks flat, so I kept if normal. Should have kept the white too, I'll redo it, makeing it black. I ll post it when done.

What do you think of my second one?

I think you did good on the graphics, I do have a tip for you though instead of using the same wheel on the front and back, use the 2 different wheels that was on the pic that you got them from. It looks way more realistic that way. I used to do it like that too though. One more thing, I couldn't see the original but did you clear those corners yourself? Come check out my post on my Eclipse! Holla!!!
