superb chop i must say the only thing could be changed to me is the lower grill, just doesn't look right .

what do you think is wrong with it? thx btw

looks good but i have a few suggestions to help you improve. First, your grille mesh needs to have shawdows. They are too flat looking and dont have any depth. To fix this, simply darken the edges around the mesh, where light would not show because of extruding body parts. Second, the color is too saturated and also doenst show any depth. Play with the hue/saturation, variations, and layer modes if you are using photoshop. Third, the rear rim appears to be flat. You can either add a lip or find a new set of rims to make it look realistic. I hop the suggestions helped a little. Heres an example of the mesh with shadows and the yellow with layer mode set to muliply:

to me it looks like noise. maybe select it and turn down the brightness so that it would look more "smooth'" (you'll have black and grey an some white instead of it looking as though its composed of only white and black pixels)

(maybe its just me, i'm a bit high) j/k

clean chop just change the grill as everyone sadi and maybe clean up the graphics a lil bit like make em sharper

that i can tell you cracker245.

first select all the mesh then edit--> cut it out of the image Next go to edit--> paste. Then put the layer of the car over the layer with the mesh.

make sure you have the car layer selected then go to layer ---> layer styles and select drop shadow.

mess around with the options

(atleast this is the way i would do it)

you can do what he said OR...

I just selected the mesh, then with a large, soft brush, airbrushed black around the edges.
