It's not that hard for me since I work in Photoshop all the time, but it did take quite some time to get the shading and reflections to look real. You can pretty much take any car and just reduce the horizontal scale to squish it, but the hard part is blending in the unscaled wheels and fender wells. I'm bored today again so if anyone wants me to do it to their car just tell me what picture to chop.

Volk GT-V (silver) 19". I envisioned the anthracite color of the CL contrasting with the BBK which contrasted with the wheels which contrasted with both the car AND the BBK. I guess all being within the metallic grayish/silver family but a subtle contrast between each 3.

he means the grill surround. that chrome trim part that encloses the grill. get is painted to match the body. you are better off doing it that way since your color wasnt offered in 03. it would have to be custom.

That's cool, I haven't really done any competitions before. I usually just participate in Photoshop Tennis on Flicker. That's some really fun stuff!
