Looks good!
I like the front lip

The rims look odd though, maybe try using a higher resolution photo for the rims? They just aren't as sharp as the rest of the car

Now that you made the whole bodykit wide, it looks way better. haha i dont get why people shave off door handles?? don't know how they wud get in!?! but i guess it gives the car a smoother look

lol i think those rims are really ugly but overall i like what you did to the body...nice 1

[mglavina]

thanks for the comments, i agree, im gunna scratch the rims, im happy i finally perfected the body.

oh yeah about the door handles, i saw once on Pimp My Ride they installed a button on the keys where you press it and the door pops open, no need to use door handles anymore lol, thats where I got the idea.

yeah they install door poppers and you open them with a remote keypad... they also alot of times have a hidden button in the wheel well or somewhere else on the car... they are used alot with customs

but the chop looks good... IMO i wouldve made the bodykit a little shorter and lowered the car... you still got alot of wheel gap for a car that sits that low

[mglavina]

yeah i noticed that too, maybe i could just extend the arches and make it like a widebody?

yes/no? suggestions?

[mglavina]

alright, i took off the rims, cuz i realized im still not finsihed with the body, i brushed the arches removed the spolier and took away a part from the seats:

whel the front wheel well needs to be round on the inside now the wheel/well combination is weird , on the vback wheel well the positon of the wheel in comparison to the well is to far out and the well looks really smudged (try using the eliptical tool for getting nice round sharp looking inner wells.

and watch out for that blurryness (bodykit / sideskirtsand front bumper)

alright this is not my chop but from the topic starter so keep the in mind no stealing here !!!!

gonna help out here !!!!

alright i thought lets make this into a tutorial and be able to show what i mean
this is done real quick and the most important steps are viewable :

first the result :
a round wheel well with inner and outer lines that are round and not smudged / blurry.
i did not make it to sharp beause the quality of the pic is real low..
result :



again said this is done quick quick take your time and get a good quality pic and things are way better.

nice thing is on most of my chops i do these things than keep some things real simple and people say not much done but all those things that can not be seen are as important as the obvious things..

here is how it's done :

choose the eliptical tool like here :


make some sort of selection like this / u make a circle right click and then choose TRANSFORM SELECTION and transform it into the well like so :



now pick the color black from inside the wheel well and bruch it in black like so :



then select inverse , this makes the selection reverse so that not the inside of the circle can be altered but the outside is selected , but watch out with this because now all that is outside of the circle , so the whole pic is selected



now use the smudge tool and gently (with a real small size) smudge the reflection onto the circle edge (can also be brushed but ....)


i also made a new edge between fender and bumper and made selections for getting the reflections more towards teh front..
but that dousn't show here the base idea is there just try this yourself

now like you said don't say this is off point it out ...can't point it out more clearly just made a tut for you so don't complain lol hahahah
