chop:

I'd like to point out to everyone that the carbon fiber hood,fenders and window frame are are all one solid piece, it was a concept hood idea hope you all like it

C+Cs as usual

:UPDATE: fixed the front and lightened the wheels

Mike Minnillo · 10-30-2006, 06:23 PM

not too bad, blizzy. your carbon looks fairly realistic, but the selections are a bit choppy. also, theres way too much shadow over the wheels.

GTR · 10-30-2006, 06:39 PM

think you went a bit overboard on the carbon lol and yea the wheels are to dark dunno if i like that big gap in the front of the car but it looks kl

Rollin'Royce · 10-30-2006, 10:37 PM

good it is ok just the cf needs to bend with the body lines ive had trouble with this before on a range rover but it is good keep it up

Carty · 10-30-2006, 11:33 PM

ive never seen a car with the vent open like that... dont really like it and it would prolly break everything else looks pretty good

styler101 · 10-31-2006, 03:16 AM

lol carty ... your worried about the vent breaking but not about the windshield thats is attached with the hood/fender in one peice....

crazyrichard · 10-31-2006, 05:01 AM

if you only did the bonnet in cf it actually would look realistic

so great pattern..
just now it's on the fenders too it looks unreqalistic..

the wheels are to darkened a bit to much ..would be better with less saturation..

but i can see since the last time i wase here you did really improve so.......

chopster · 10-31-2006, 06:08 AM

the bottom of the front and sideskirt just ruin everything... it looks added with microsoft's paint...

BL-Z · 10-31-2006, 03:54 PM

cheers guys...with the front i am gonna add a bar on the bottom of it to help the look but how do i bend the cf over the fenders?

Justanotherdodge · 10-31-2006, 03:59 PM

BL-Z · 10-31-2006, 04:24 PM

No offense, but you took a $180k car and ruined it.

elmalfiso15 · 10-31-2006, 10:59 PM

i was wondering that too, but i figured it would have to flip toward the front. becasue there are joints so it couldn't be split down the middle or go to one side. no i would be really intersted in seeing a chop with the hood open. that would be amazing. good job on keeping it original, everything looks pretty good, my only idea is to take the eracer with about a 29% opacity to all off the curves of the CF so you can add a little depth to it and so you dont have lines that goes across the entire hood, it would just make it look a little more realistic.

oh wow, didn't see this till after i posted

crazyrichard · 11-01-2006, 03:02 AM

here is a pic with a flip front :

sure it's not all the way but still it's a flip front

BL-Z · 11-01-2006, 02:03 PM

except the lights would stay in place...and coment bout taking a $150k car n ruining it, well its a pic...which was free not $150k matey, if a did it to the actual car then yer fair enough but common...could anyone comment on the riveted rear fender?

crazyrichard · 11-01-2006, 02:14 PM
