the far side vertical door is screwed up, you see too much through the windshield

Thats awsome man, I agree the bottom part of the far door needs to be shaven up a little. Maybe change out the back light that you can see, I like bright colors so I would say make it yellow with black rims or orange with white rims... all airbrushed, I love that look, just a couple ideas....

Lets see the original... Goodluck man, show us an update too!

i think it looks good as it is. keep it simple. maybe add some sort of graphics so that there isnt quite so much orange.

Looks good, is that airbrushed or just a color change? And where did you get those rims, they are awsome... Goodjob man, I say leave it like this, maybe put a new backdrop, but other then that awsome job!

the paint is brush u can usually tell becuase its hard to get a vibrant color out of a silver paint job. the rims came from a featured bmw off of car and model they were black where the orange is so i just messed with the levels to make them look crome then added an orange layer over top and put the layer on linear burn

i still need to put some mesh in the front end and im thinking about a bg change butthe car still seems to bland i want to do more

i know what's missing. IMO, i think it's b/c of the background. no place for reflections. add a nice bg and you will get some nice reflections so it won't look so bland
