Okay, I finally finished my Lexus chop.
This has been an on and off project for the last month with little bits being done to it over the whole time.
About 80 layers later i came up with the finished product.

Big thanks to Fatgoat who has seen this through since close to its conception.
Also thanks to Jebus who watched a few wips for me and pointed out how uselss i am at reflections.

Volk dish rims
Enlarged air intakes on the front bar
New side skirt
Side body vent (flowing through the front guard)
Front mount intercooler (for the 2jz of course )

New floor and sky for the background (original bg didn't reflect at all)

And that was constructive how?

What did i do that "butchered" it?
How can i fix that for next time?

looks hot except for the side :S

its sik man but looks a bit toony imo

yeah the side vent is a bit much, aslo the front wheels look like they are the wrong offset. otherwise very nice job. i love the reflection of the sky on the car. nice touch.

cheers.

Oh mate, you did a fantastic job. Looks very JDM, top chop mate

i like it a lot,the one thing that i dont like is that vent thing up the door,but uther than that its fukin awesome

i liked that idea!!!

o well, i guess most people do seem to be into (the usual) mods....

K well.

Blue Areas need more shadow.

The red line across the front needs to back a black line as if ther wasnt it would be like the cf was just a sticker and wasnt actually attached to the front end.

The green areas need to ahve the sharp line from the sky change blured a bit as they are quite sharp.

Also with the lights on the far light the shine wouldnt where the yellow is shown.

Also the whole picture seems under contrasted maybe its just got screen but yer i uped the contrast in the picture shown below.

Oh and also the wide vent imo is preety stupid in real life it would look huge and it also has a bit to much shadow aroudn the top left area of it.

its pretty well executed man ill giv you that but im not really into this style
i think the light glow is a bit dull maybe add contrast around that are not sure
as lil for said about where the backgrounds meet, it should be blurred a bit
also the front plate looks fake imo
the vent on the side, looks like you put a bit of work into it but i must say it doesnt look too i mean the execution and how u did it is fine just how it looks not really liking the idea
anyways keep up your execution man keep on keeping on

Thanks for the pointers people,

It seems that the side vent design is a bit of a failure (took inspiration from dr go fast's dupra) so i will scratch that.
I will keep those things in mind for next time and hopefully the next one will be of a better standard.

Foy: The contrasty thing may be the screen settings as i have my settings different from the standard for gaming.

i love it man, the side vent is a real cool touch, just too much shadow. and the wing to me looks as if its leaning forward. other than that fucking sweet work man

looks mad

not bad mate. personally, its a bit too toony for me.

fantastic effort though, buddy!

Is Nova, Claymotion or somthing lol ?? im so confused, i was wondering what happened to you man. Oh well nice chop looks good aye, youve really improved since that shitty s14 you entered in the comp ages ago.
None of the flatness, It actaully looks real maybe you are overcoming the fact all your chops looked Toony. Let's hope i dont give you choppers block now
Cant wait too see your next mate.

what an idiot looks good man i like it looks real nice

I aint the obvious expert but iv'e seen u do better man. I love the rims but the rests a bit toony. I know u can do better. Hope so see more from u soon.

its aint a bad chop

few bits needed cleaning but hey i ddnt pick them at first glance

it ight man to fake for me but nice wrk

looks shit as!

looks really toony, and the car looks like its floating above the ground.. the rear wheels looks really strange, missing few shodows, and need to fix the grill insert as shown in the pic posted in this topic.
