Your chop is amazing, the only think that doesnt look right are the right rims (from our front on view), they kind of look plasticy with no real depth to it. Where you should see break calipers you see a kind of flat dark space, and for the wheel nuts they look a bit to flat as well.
Other than that it is excellent.

I haven't used PS in so long i can't remember the last time i did. I found that suzuki samauri's are so much fun off roading that there isn't time for both.....

lol - same here - it's between my Jeep Cherokee restoration project and my bf's little Patriot, you see pictured. [Link to pics]
We don't have much time to do either one between my work schedule though.. it sucks; cause the big Jeep will be fun to drive (and scare people with).

We just took the samauri out today, was testing it in stock form before the 6in lift and boggers go on to see what it could do. Went through all types of just crazy stuff today in it, and most it handled in 2WD! It may weigh 2K pounds at most. Eventually stuck it when a log got jammed under the passenger rear shackle while we were in a creek and took forever to get it off of it. The front drivers dug in and the water was up to the middle of the headlight. Two hours later got the log out and even with street tires the little guy pulled right out and straight up the 4ft bank, and i do mean straight up.
Super impressive little trucks, my mates CJ would have never made it through some of the stuff we did today and the truck is stock right now! If you find one buy it!

Cant say we have those in the states mate, most of the cars that people talk about on here i have no clue what they even look like.
It looks like this....well exactly cause its it! Oh and the " hey " thing in the vid after the horn honk is an inside joke. Some gay guy that worked with me once would say hello to everyone the way i say it on the video and my mate kept hitting the horn on accident and everytime i would say, heeeeey. Was pretty funny cause every few minutes he would hit it on accident.

...back to the photoshopped cars.
Here's my attempt at one from a while back. It's a modern take on the Honda Beat but in coupe rather than convertible form. The roofline was taken from a pic of a Honda Integra and the lights are from the current Civic coupe. The wheels came from a random picture of a track or drift car, I can't remember which any more!
The original, for reference:

Jeez, don't give much slack for first attempts, do you?
Have a look through the rest of the thread at some other attempts. I wonder when the point was when people stopped saying "that looks cool" and started saying instead, "could do with a bit more work..."?

Seems that sugar coating just produces more of the same work. Wasn't trying to be a jerk but more was trying to help you out and make you go, yeah i see that well i better work on those problems. Its all about the details on chopping mate. Like the B-pillar thing. When you took the roof from the acura and stuck it on there you didn't even think about fab'n a B-pillar and all for the interior view. Now that you look at that and you see it doesn't that just look ridiculous missing pretty much half of the other side of the car? Usually if people just respond with, yeah thats rad! Then the next chop will just be the same thing because you never realize that it really needed work in whatever areas.

I'm well aware that the image isn't perfect but honestly I'm more concerned with doing something interesting than making it pixel-perfect.
Of course I did, don't just assume that I was being ignorant or didn't bother. I don't actually have photoshop, I use a bit of free software called Photoimpression that I got with a crappy digital camera about five years ago. I also don't use a stylus or indeed a proper mouse, just the touchpad on my laptop. If I knew how to make a realistic looking B-pillar to improve the picture I would have done.
As you don't actually know me I'll forgive your ignorance in this particular area, but I'm a perfectionist. Of course I'm not completely happy with the image. Ideally, I would have wanted the lights to fit better, and have the lights, wheels and other details look as though the light on them was coming from a common source. I'm also aware that I forgot to edit away the Integra's door mirror so it's still visible behind that of the Beat. I know some bits are jagged and some are blurred.
What I wanted to show though was the actual design concept rather than absolute perfection in a digital image.
Having read through a great many pages here, I think some of the photoshoppers here could perhaps take a lesson in etiquette from those in the photography section where constructive criticism comes in equal measure with praise, if it's due.

Comments - more than welcome. As long as they're worded a bit more tactfully than this:
But yeah, largely I was aiming for people to comment on the car itself rather than the quality of the photoshopping 👍
Oh, and I should add that if anyone would like to take my 'shop and improve it by tidying up the bits that I didn't do I'd love to see the results. I'm not personally up to the level of doing it myself.

If you would have just posted that you were wanting comments on the actual concept and not the chop then thats what you would have got there. But since you posted this without saying that in the "photoshopped cars" section then people are obviously going to comment on the chopping and not really on the concept design there.
Ok, ignoring the chop and the concept now. Personally i think the car was horrid before and what you did made it better. Although its not my style and i still wouldn't take it for free either way, but with the roof and such things that you did it did make a difference. If you don't have PS why don't you download Gimp? Its essentially the same and its freeware. Good option if 1k isn't available to throw around on software and your not a pirate to get it for free....

He said he doesn't have PS so he can't upload it as a .PSD. Even if he did that doesn't guarantee that he kept everything on its own layer so if not then that would be the same as a tiff or any other.

If you're going to do a front-end conversion like that; you might want to go back in time -- style it like an early golf or something. You're going to have to mod the unibody to do those headlights and the roof anyways; you might as well not stop there. 👍
You did well for a first time chopper. Most people would've had much worse, because they would've tried to rush it. Keep practicing though; the trick is in the detail work.👍

That may be so, but it doesn't excuse the rude way you went about it. There's constructive, considered criticism, and then there's the baseball-bat method. Guess which one you used?...
I didn't download Gimp because I wasn't aware of it, but now that you've mentioned it I might give it a try next time I want to do any editing.
I probably do have a layered version of the image somewhere because I usually keep one about just in case an image needs further editing, but it'll be in Photoimpressions own .psf file type. I think the program allows you to save in other formats though so if I find it I might have a look to see if there's a standardised file type that'll allow you to have a play around with it.
Thanks for the comments 👍 As above, if I do find the image wherever it lives on my computer then I may try some other things such as new lights.
I think it looks pretty cool, the wheels go really well with it, and considering you did it on good ol' photoimpression, its a pretty impressive job.
I could talk solely about the standard of the work, because apparently this thread is nothing to do with assessing people's interest in original concepts and design ideas, but I just want to be awkward...
Now I have that sarcasm out of my system, I guess I should give my opinion on the design. Well, I thinks its really interesting, and looks pretty stylish. If I could change anything, it would be the headlights. I think as a modern take on the Beat, those lights work well, but I personally was not keen on the look of the lights on the original Beat (in particular the way the go right up to the arches.) If I had my choice for headlights (and trying to stay within the Honda company) I would have chosen either four round lights in the style of the integra, or the lights from the S2000.

I said i was sorry mate so take it and move on
I'm a big guy, no need for a baseball bat...ask parnellibone:tup: And your welcome on letting you know about Gimp, maybe that will help you out with more options for editing.

Ugh, i am not into those older grills like that. They did a fix up of one around the same year you have on either trucks or extreme 4X4, cant remember which show. It looked fairly good, it was a off road type so i want to say it was E4X4, i haven't watched that show in forever and caught it yesterday and the girl they hired wasn't on there. Hope she is still on the show, made it soooo much nicer to watch....
