wow and u still give comments like that.. u do realize ur chop got beat by a relatively noob chop? you are nowhere near impressive or above adverage... i would hesiate to say you are almost adverage... either you dont like your chops so u make fun of others or you dont have enough experience to tell the person what he needs to improve... if u dont have any constructive critisizm then i recommend you dont say anything at all, unless the chop is very good and you want to leave a compliment
anyways
mstngcobrasvt98,
the chop is decent but there are a couple things wrong with it.
the front bumper and other parts like the hood scoop are WAY blurry... the picture u took them from was either very low resolution causing it to be pixolated when you resized it to be bigger or you resized it to be smaller, made it too small, then readjusted it to be bigger. you want your parts to be from a picture at the same resolution or better when you put them on your car. also you want to find rims that are at the same angle as the car you are working on. your rims are on an angle but not the same angle which is why they look flat... your rim's resolution is also very low quality. the c/f is a little more complex to explain, but you might want to test out different designs to get one you like... it is good when you are learning to use ones given on tut's though. your color change is also decent, and you stayed within the lines of the car, but when you get more confortable, try not to desaturate it... this way you get more realistic reflections
overal it is pretty nice... keep practicing

Seriously man, it doesnt matter if your the best chopper in the world, noone/nothing gives you the right to say that about anyones chop. Not only are you being straight out mean, but your acting like an asshole because you dont even leave a constructive cristiscism. Grow up, or get the hell out of AF, because if you keep this up, you wont be welcome here for long.
Now onto the chop. You have alot of good ideas, alot of very good ideas, i jsut think your approaching them wrong. For example if you find changing the color hard, try going to Image>Adjustments>Variations and try using those colors, and try not to saturate it too much. Although you may have a color in mind, it may be hard to get it to look jsut right, so try to allways get it to look as realistic as possible. This usually means that you should make sure the saturation is low, so it adds more of a tint then a full color (unless its a special case, depending on teh shadows and colors of the car.)
You have a very good start to carbon fibre. Many people struggle alot with it, and the main problem is, that they usually make the pattern too big, and dont darken the hood enough. That can be seen in this situation. For example, if you darken the side mirror, to a very dark shade of grey, it'd look abit better.
The rim conversion is pretty good. The only problem is, is that you used a low resolution picture of rims, so you had to enlarge it, thus making them blurry. Either that or you just got a blurry picture of rims. The best thing to do is go to carandmodel.com and get their rims, they are usually good quality and have various different angles of them.
You have a good concept of bodykitting. This chop would look pretty damn good if you had a better picture for a bodykit/transplant. Because right now its very blurry, if it wasnt for that, then your chop would look almost 100% better.
For the mesh that you added, i'd suggest that you lower the opacity down abit so that it matches the shade of the blue bodykit, and then i'd suggest that you take a small soft edged brush and brush away the outsides of the mesh, so that it looks like its fading into the shadows, but make sure you dont take off too much otherwise it'll just look stupid.
Overall very nice concept, just abit of trouble executing, but just remember that comes with time and practice, so keep at it man. You have some great ideas, and i look forward to your next chop.
