It didn't come out clean, but.....
I'm pretty satisfied with the homemade headlights and carbon fibre.

Your comments and critics please! It helps!

it looks pretty good to me, the spoiler is a little off, but other then that its nice -- good chop

^ my words exactly!........... good work

Looks great. But as a future suggestion, try to either save your work at a much higher quality, or try not to use red when saving at low quality, because red allways comes out the worst at low quality.

Thanks guys

whats ur CF technique?

2. Create a new document, size = 2 pixels wide 1 pixel deep.
press Ctrl + 0 to zoom in to the correct size.

3. Grab the gradient tool and fill from left to right.

4. go to Edit+define pattern, save as carbon fiber.

5. select the "carbonised" area with the lasso tool.

6. Go to edit + fill... select carbon pattern and opacity= 75%
option= darken. desaturate by pressing Ctrl+Shift+U then go to image + adjustments + brightness/contrast.

7. darkeness to -50 then filter + blur + motion blur.
set the percent to 1 pixel.

6. fill the area again with the pattern as before but set the opacity to 50%

This was posted by NICECAR. But made a few variations in it. This would be my step 5,
1/You select the area to be carbonised,
2/Press ctrl+shift+u to desaturate it
3/click image>adjustment>brightness/contrast. Adjust the setting to your needs
4/Press ctrl+j to make to copy layer
5/hold ctrl and click on the new layer to select it
6/Then go layer>new fill layer>pattern and click ok in both windows...you can vary the size of the pattern before clicking ok if you want, but didn't do anything on the RX7
7/then go layer>rasterize>layer
8/go, Filter>distort>twirl
decrease the image size by the zoom slider
right hand click on the image and click on free transform
9/Edit the image until it covers the full area to be carbonized
10/Click on the layer you created
11/Press ctrl+shift+i to get the inverse of your selection
12/press delete, to erase all excess carbon fibre
13/Adjust your opacity
14/Merge down the layers afterwards
thats it, its mixture of my technique and that of nicecar. It may not be the best technique.
