Just my opinion...but that is one ugly car.

I don't think I've got the skills to make that look good.

Nice choice though, this one will take some creativity.

Ditto on the ugly car. Its just to bland, IMO. How about a pic of this?...

i think they look ok, i have gotten used to the older CTS' and gotten to where i actually like them. i will keep a close eye on this one and see how it turns out

[bwarren228]

Well sporty cars are sometimes too easy to make look good. This takes a little more creativity.

There's not a whole lot of C cars out there people that don't already look good enough..or that aren't even worth trying to make it look good. The XLR is a nice choice..but Chip Foose made that car as good as it can get (the one he did for NOPI I believe). I was thinkin the Chrysler SRT8, but this will be easier to work with most likely.

considering the styling is on an american car, it hink the car is beautiful. i just love the fact that american car comapnies are stepping it up a few notches to keep up with import brands. i am excited to see waht direction this chop thread is going to go. i hope more people join in....

Well, I got pretty bored, my math test isn't untill 4 tomorrow. Tell me what you guys think, and yes, criticism is welcome. I can handle it! Oh and how do you erase the lines after using the polygon tool? For some reason it left behind a bunch of lines, as you can see...thanks again!

Don't use it.

Try using the polygonal lasso tool or quickmask. The quickmask is really easy, just hit "Q" and you're in quickmask. Use the brush tool to paint over the area you want to edit (i.e. the car) and hit "Q" again and now it's a selected area.

The polygonal lasso can be found by clicking and holding over the "lasso" tool and the other lassos will show up. Select the angular looking one.
The polygonal lasso is also easy although it takes a little time to get a good selection.
Zoom into what you're selecting and as you click around the car, use the spacebar to "toggle" to the "hand" tool to move your view. Release the spacebar and you're toggled back to the poly lasso.
After you've selected your area, go to "selction" "Feather" and set your feather settings to between 1 and 3 (whatever works for you) to get a somewhat blurry edge for better blending.

Sorry, I've never used the polygon tool before so I don't know how to get rid of the lines. I hope my other suggestions help, though. You're chop looks good so far even though I'm not a big fan of green cars.
