Looking good, guys! Now, can you remove the front license plate frame or add an m-tech kit?

Heh, funny you should mention that area... I was thinking that the "mouth" area should be darkened - between the fog lights. I think it shows too much. I seem to recall doing that on the image below in my sig.

I fixed what was bothering me. I applied a soft mask to the front lower grille. I applied the same mask at 40% opacity to the headlights (they still didn't look right to me). I also applied a small soft mask to the upper right dark cloud to make it stick out less, it is now lighter.

Sorry, those are unchanged from my first attempt. I could make them lighter... it wasn't clear what color they were.


Rudy... I fixed the headlights. I was saying that I wasn't satisfied with the first adjustment I had made. Those don't really look like the actual car either (they look smoked), but I simply did what I thought looked good.


I had toyed with the idea of erasing that thing on the wall, but didn't feel like spending the time to do it right.
