IMO the pic is great..........this picture was the EASIER out of the two pictures I had finalized down to. If I would have chosen the other pic out of the two then you guys would be CRYING about how you guys would match reflections etc.. :D

don't whine just because you got OWN3d last month ahahahha ;) :D :D :D let'z see what crazy shit you can do with this pic:thumbsup:

[Holden_Kid]

hmmm i have seen that car b4 in that same pic :eek:
i got only a couple more mods and i should b finished it all clean and everything for my 1st round in this comp on this forum

[Idratherbsidewayz]

So does the company want a realistic truck? Or can you go all out...?

[nismodrifter]

go all out :D as I said make it into a "tight whip" :D

or....you could decide to go the clean route....just have to guess, what will the voters want this month? clean or wild? last month kona9 won with a super clean pic....this month clean might win again...or it may not

[sxtasy]

THANK YOU Custom Auto for such a great prize.:clap:

[DJ Lazy]

[ryder_23]

I wanna see someone also chop up the guys fishing the backround, hahahahahahah...good luck guys...maybe i'll put my mspaint skills to work :rofl:

[sxtasy]

haha love the background Ryoslide:D

[silverEL]

the water in the front of the war ship makes it look like a hover craft

[nismodrifter]

BAHAH nice chop ryoslide, those guys in the fishing boat are getting OWNED!!! HAHAH

note to everybody else: remember that you can change the whole background if you want.....

[Ryoslide]

Yeah its kinda cool I guess I was gonna put the truck infront of a parts store or something but I figured someone else might do that to so I just improvised.

[hyperwhite]

this is what i got so far. tell me what you think

[sxtasy]

Looks good so far...haha like the Escalade conversion, I did one too and I am sure we wont be the only ones

[Idratherbsidewayz]

Lol I had that idea as well, wow we are all not creative at all... :D

[ryder_23]

Ryoslide...i love the battleship :thumbsup: showing those fishermen whose boss....btw great chop

[sxtasy]

constructive criticism appreciated about my entry...its the only way i will get better:)

hmmmm I like... but it could use a hint of realism to it I think... its just kinda got that look where is it s bit TOO smooth and not "real" looking... Carmella Decesare on the other hand.... :thumbsup: :hitit:

EDIT: is there any chance you could convert to jpg, instead of bmp?? it kills the 56K'ers.... :(

[nismodrifter]

ah damn, there goes my idea of escalade conversion :D

sxtasy: I hope your adding one girl to an entry won't start a stupid "fad" for this contest ;)(one person adds a girl, the next person adds 2, and then by the end we can't even see the car anymore since there is more skin than car visible :D)

good chop:D Escalade front fits perfectly but as previously said...its TOO smooth looking (oversaturated paint)

[cycosis]

Overall, it looks really nice. :thumbsup: The hood lines are really well done. Your front rim matches up very nicely with the tire but your back rim is a little off.

[sxtasy]

[hyperwhite]

damn, it looks like we both used the exact same caddy pic for the swap:banghead: oh well...i did it first:D
i actually wanted to do an envoy chop but i could't find a good pic

[hyperwhite]

Hey Ryoslide, thats the best looking carbon hood i've ever seen:thumbsup: how did you do it?

[Ryoslide]

Its like 11 herbs and spices man my secret....lol...I'll post the how to later. Its takes a long time to type it out.

[Kona9]

Some good ideas so far. It's tough to mod a full size chev when you think every one will caddy up the front end. The product boxes in the truck box were originally what I was going to do, although I see someone else thought of it. Nice thinkin man:thumbsup: I didn't think an R1 would look too bad though. From checkin out the website, I see they cater to the import scene generally. I didn't want to put decals like DC or AEM on the truck, so I thought the skull thing would keep the truck clean, and hopefully original.

Good luck guys,

Let's see some more entries!!

:angel:

[nismodrifter]

nice work kona:thumbsup:

[nismodrifter]

01vortech : plz check your PM thx

[962 kid]

need to turn down the saturation somewhat...

[cycosis]

Darn you kona9, i wuz gonna put bikes in the back.:guns: Oh well, back to the drawing board I suppose......:D

[nismodrifter]

LOL, never thought I'd see this....SpoonEK9 entering a PSC?

nice work :D rear wheel could be better but you made that shit CLEEAN

I appreciate the compliment. As far as the Caddy front end goes. I will take a small amount of originality flags for only using the escalade bumper. I tried everything from an x5 front end, to honestly a pontiac vibe front end. I could not find a good enough, proper angled pic for the X5 to work, and the Pontiac vibe was original but GAY!!! What was I thinkin?
Anyways thanks again

Yea, I tried the X5 front end aswell but i couldn't really get it to fit too well.. and it looked odd.... so I scrapped it...

it's up. i dont know why u guys had trouble with the X5, i found a god pic that worked quite well, although the colors are a bit off now cause it was brown lol. any comments/criticisms on my first chop??

[86max]

habsfan, x5 front end looks alright, very original, must have been hard squeezing it in there:)

[habsfan]

it was actually really easy to get it fittin right, but the color matching was very difficult especialy since it was my first chop. props goes out to hyperwhite, my cousin, for helpin me out

layers ain't everything man :D for all I know you could be hitting ctrl+v a million times and pasting shit onto your pic :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I usually end up with around 15 layers total....too many and that means you have added too much shit hahah ;)

[cycosis]

of course im gonna merge everythin soon silly boy. im simply ensuring clealiness, thats s'all.:poosie: and remember, you did say to go all out this month........

[86max]

hey, just curious if anyone has any comments on the one i posted, criticism welcome
p.s. i think i only had 10 layers;)

[hyperwhite]

i don't even count my layers when i do it.

[cycosis]

hey dave, whats wrong with being the jackass on the jet ski?

[t3rry]

single layer is where its at :bigpimp:

[Speedstick]

My try is up... Later than usual. Nothing as fantastic - I wanted it to look pretty normal.

Basically I took Chev Trailblazer SS showtruck wheels and lower front bumper (and chromed some of it), and an Infiniti FX hood, lights, and front section (with Chevy grille insert). The rest was pretty basic... The windows are sorta modified rear Trailblazer windows to make a wraparound effect.

And then painted it the colour of the calipers.

[nismodrifter]

keep the entries coming:thumbsup:

[t3rry]

i have some idea's but im just not good enough at photoshop yet, but i m sure i will get better :D

[Kona9]

I am done all the major shit on mine except for a headlight swap.....don't know what to do :D I want to do a Escalade front since it would suit mine so nicely....but it's already been done this month....

I didn't quote Dj Lazys suggestion for Buick Raineer front end (scroll to the top) So I posted my little incident with a buick Raineer!!! I didn't think it would take more than a grade 6 education to figure it out though. You can PM me with your confusion next time and we can take baby steps on the explanation!!:angel:
