z-beam, you need to optimize your images and you will be able to fit more.
currently, the first image you uploaded was 432 KB @ 2048 x 1536 (that's enormous)
the 2nd image is 582 KB @ 2048 x 1536 (even bigger than before)
try and resize your images down to 600 x 450 @ 45KB or even 500 x 375 @ 34 KB and save it optimized for the web.
with those 2 measurements above, I was able to get your images down to 45 KB or 34 KB depending on the dimensions.

Heck, I get mine down to 15-20k without distorting the image any.
Now back to the topic, whatever the heck that may be. I'm confused.
I thought ground effects refered to body kitting, and I'm pretty sure that what Maximum Attack was asking about in the original post. I'm not sure how this got on to lights.

my mistake, but the word "ground effects" is pretty general.
i mean if originally he wanted to know about body kits then why not ask " how do i make body kits"
forget about the f-up, focus on the effects. what do you reckon about the idea?
cabo, can i resize them in the gallery or have i gots to do it on my computer.

ground effects is lighting on the ground...

space is tuff, but the accord wagon i first tried it on was easy

Ok, you know what? Whatever. Obviously ground effects means different things around the world to different people, you may or may not be correct, and it may just be opinion, but the fact is, that is not what the original poster to this thread was asking.
Maximum Attack said, "I love how that skyline spyder looks." he was making reference to Geism's car that had been recently posted at that time, which had aerodynamic skirting, and no lighting.
(this is the car he was refering to)
You can refer to ground effects as what ever you want, but I just felt the need to set you straight, because you made the statement so matter of factly, as if the rest of us are just wrong, and I just wanted it to be clear, for the record, that is not what the original poster of this thread was asking.
I hope the next person to read this thread actually reads it through, as this not the first time we've been through this in this thread.

my bad... i woulda thought that both coulda been included in the "effects" title... but lighting is lighting...
shoulda kept it separate...
