aiight guys... lay it on me lol... Here's the Accord(which I'm very proud of) that started all of my bashing. if you're blind, I added a spoiler, hood piece, and a full body kit all the way round, then added some duplicolor mirage paint! first few pics are before clearcoat!

Oh yeah, and just because I said I can HANDLE constructive criticism, that doesn't mean that's ALL I want.... Just, be true, that's what I want!

That's recht fucking nettes, midget_man, sah ich es im Wettbewerbgewinde und dachte dasselbe, aber I'm, das nicht innen dort bekanntgibt, bis meine Fahrt ist erfolgt... Aber, die krauts sind, Sie müssen einige heiße Kanten auf sie setzen recht.

Word. It really would benefit from some different rims. The paint is dope.

I like the paint, great job on choice and laying it down.
headlight details look great too.
personally, I feel the tail lights woulda looked better red with a stripe of chrome / silver or white.
I also feel like the front skirt is jetting out too far, but that's just my opinion.

overall it looks great, nice work man.

I agree, I think the rear needs some dots to give it the eurolite look... but where should I put the dots?

No Dots Midg, I would just go with stripes and in a different color than silver for th primary color. The head lights tho are spot on. Only other thing I could say is tha for your Summer Swing Bling entry I would change the entered pic to the second to last one or retake it all together. The one you used is by far the worst pic out of the whole series. It just doesn't do tha ride justice.

midget: dont use the clear/primer stuff that comes with that paint. just lay down whatever color you want and then a few coats of the colorchange.

This pick sucks ass, especially compared to the others. I would retake it with a nice clean close up shot.

Midge this pic is slammin! Just photoshop your tag onto it. The other two you took were better but the car was still a dark undetailed blob. This here pic shows it all of.

Oh and as for image space, you need to resize/reformat your pics with something like photoshop for the web. Hmm just checked proporties and it says the image is only 37k, may be some other pics or somthing tha is hoggin up space. I mean lots of pimps have over 100 pics in thier gallery.

finks, dont you need a card, and not just your name photoshopped?


ya i love all the outside shots...


I do save them as a lower quality, but i didnt think that I had much more room.... I dunno... how can I check?

Right click em one by one and hit proporties. Honestly I am not a big computer guy, so I am just telling you what I do.

As far as the pic, either don't worry about how fuckin clear your name is and worry about the car, or put the car on the paper like SF does. That's what works best for me as well.

Bottom line tho to solve your gallery problem, clean house a bit, you are littering the boards with all these multiple pics. Take a bunch but only publish 1-4 really good ones instead of 6 total. It all adds up. Oh and your old pics of this car, do you really need em any more now that you altered the car?

good points, finks. as far as keeping old pics is concerned... I like to keep the old ones so you can see the differences... I think I'll keep goin till i reach my limit, then I'll delete..
