i always base my vote on realism. the point of doing chops is to manipulate pictures to see what they would look like in real life. the only one i saw that did that was Villains.
its my cookie
had a good front end, blended pretty well. the rear section looks to be extended and just looks pretty good. the "tint" job is kinda thrown together on the passenger side. drivers side seat looks great, passenger side could have been touched up a bit more. i would have flipped the drivers side horizontally and copied the "sparco" to read normal, that might have fixed it. shaving the door handle turned out clean, but the lines of the door jams dont really flow too well. the carbon fiber hood was a nice touch, but you can tell the edges were done by the magnetic lasso... (its a great tool, but sometimes it can be a pain to use). the thing that bugs me the most is the wheels... the light source is coming from the wrong direction

good concept, but needed a better angle of the porsche. kinda makes it look like the car is bent to the left and up. reflections can be a bitch as well to clear up. good job on the fading to the 350 body. again, problem with the light direction with this one. i also liked how you made the rear wheels fatter. nice touch. good job on the side skirts
Villain
decent job on the turn signal removal. but try to put another kind of signal back into it. the tow hook just looks out of place. i like how you lengthened the grill. these rims look most realistic. they seem to be picking up their light from the surrounding sand. good use of the air duct. the nissan logo could have been touched up a bit more.. but good overall.
i had started to do a chop of my own, but ran out of time. plus something about this photo didnt really give me any ideas. all i had so far was a cowl hood, cut in half side mirrors, slightly touched up front bumper, lip, shaved door. then i stopped cause it wasnt turning out the way i wanted.
anyways, the level of quality from the first few contests has increased dramatically. i cant wait to see what the next one is. good job everybody!
