Sorry for the DP, but there is a small problem I wanted to adress:

I messed up with edit rules when I began hosting CCCL, I thought that they went PmC-2.0-PmC-2.0 and so on. The truth is that the theme chooser also chooses the edit rules. I apologize for this mistake. Carry on, fellow photomoders :D

(Wow, talk about a useless rant :lol:)
 
Final Entry:




Hey Minolta,could you please include me in the poll?Because,I forgot about file size limit.

Nice,but I think it has to have some more colour adjustments.
 
Holy crap! That thing is slammed! I'd advise you to try to get the whole car in the frame though.

I should have a non-entry up just for the fun of it in a little bit.
 
Hmm... Anybody else smell sarcasm? :odd:

Wait. You'll enter, too, won't you? I'm scared. :P

EDIT:

By the way, there's a typo in the first post:

What you may do in a photo:
You may migrate wheels from phototravel to in-game photmode;

Seems like you'll have to edit every previous first post in a CCCL thread. ;) Have fun with it. :P

I had to cut the edges of the car off to get it low, I like it that way!! I may mess with colors more, also!!
 
I will enter too... just so someone will get under 4 votes

Nice!Nice colours.

Thanks SVX, I hate that car and prefer the pre-80s Mustangs, and hate that location for the lack of options, so I tried something a little different. This is the 1st time I actually spent some time playing/tweaking with the coloured lighting effects, worked out well I think. I know I can't stop staring at the shot. Actually it looked even better with a lens flare, but that does not fit within the rules.
 
Your entry really looks good, Grumpy. The car is very smooth, yet sharp and I like the colours very much. 👍

Thanks, that car renders real well; I didn't have to touch up anything not even over the wheel wells. The perfectionist in me thinks I should have increased the saturation on the reds and yellows to make the tail/running light pop-out a little more, but overall I'm pretty satisfied with the shot.
 
Great entry Grump! The colors look really nice. Although I think you need to do as speeddemon and 02zetech have and slam that pony. :sly:

Slamming rides is fun :D

Not aware of the 'slamming' term, as well as 'ricer'. Does it just mean putting flashy low profile rims on it, or what?¿ Please explain what these terms mean to you guys.

Thanks,

Ricer is generally a term given to any Japanese made economy car that has had many modifications to look good but is still very slow.
