Looks Great!

Like reef said, add a drop shadow, or thin black border to the numbers. Also, I'd squeeze the gold bowtie on the nose vertically.

Btw, why does it appear heat is dithering your graphics, or is that the way you saved the pics?

I save as jpg's and turn all compression off. Everyone has high band anyway nowadays. Up the image quality. Gif's are 256 colors... jpg's are 16 Million. Save as a jpg and let us see that baby for all it's beauty! =D>

Maybe put some more contigs between the number and other contigs... looks a bit blank. I like the water and trees.. was looking for something like that a while back to paint an nbs car for a local org.

Duh, I am sure that the water and trees is why he doesn't have more contigs. What good are they if you can't see them.

My wife thinks the blue looks terrible, I love it... so I'm looking for the pro's at nhrl to decide for me...
As for the contingents I plan to put them spread above the trees in the empty space, just didnt want to waste my time with the old ones.. waiting for the new temps from bover...

Make a gradient to fill that design with, instead of all dark blue. Make it go from the dark blue on the roof, to sky blue at the horizon. (he he... I just said horizon. The car has a horizon... lol) j/k. maybe at the very end of the gradien, a slight hint of that pink-orange-ish sunset type color, maybe not. try different gradients until it looks nice.

I knew those other screenies weren't doing it justice. It looks very nice. (except for the rims, lol)

I agree with bover about the blue part. Either do what bover said or make it all black. Very nice!

As much as I don't like not having the car green... I will admit that this looks pretty good..
