maybe i dont know what i'm talking about, but it looks a little photoshoped.

 

i was thinking the same thing. looks like they scanned the rims from a newspaper clipping and pasted em on that mp3. i dunno about the hood... maybe. would look tight though.

 

if you can zoom in on the windows, the car isn't even there.Cut and paste if you ask me.Even the hood looks like they just changed the color.I have seen high gloss carbon fibre hoods in lots of other pics and there is at least some part that you can see the cross hatching
(either through blurry reflection or the actual material).Even the shadow looks fake under the car.
I noticed this instantly but I am the same person who watches a movie and picks it apart for the same inconsistancies(yes I know I need to get out of the house more so )
But I will admit that if someone does it for real then...SWEET!!!

 

So what if it photoshopped ,I like the look. If someone has taken the time to do the work ,please don't diss that person . Positve comments are better that negitive . I wish I could use Photoshop to mke changesto a pic . this way one could see what the mod would look like before it was done . It would save the person a whole lot of $ if they didn't like the mod .

Look at the grill closely and you can see whre the emblem has been cropped out. Also you can see the cut & paste door handle shave. And those wheels do look like ****.

 

um..dont MP3's usually have spoilers?

 

Yes it is photoshopped...I did the wheels because i wanted to see what the hood with white wheels combo would look like. There were bronze which look better i think now. If I find the other pic I will post it as well. BTW...This came from a guy that was selling the carbon fiber hood.

we weren't dissin the man. just pokin fun at the photoshopped car. no harm done. i've done my fair share of photoshopping (not with my own car) but others. nothing wrong with it, just having fun and seeing what you can do.

 

didn't mean it to sound like a flame.Sorry.I was just pointing out that the pic was photoshopped not that it was a lousy pic(just using facts to make my case dude).
And as I said before...If someone did that for real then cool!!I'd be jealous
Besides I have trouble using Windows so Photoshop is out of my league

And yes I think that THOSE wheels would look better bronze,but try another set(Hart or OZ or cheaper substitutes for those in white )

PS sorry Macklum if I don't sound sensitive to everyone's needs by being positive all the time,but I was proving someone else's theory(jaymersh19).I have re-read my statement and I don't think it was Negative at all,I think it was a factual argument .But it is nice to know that those sensitivity training classes are paying off

 

I didnt take it as a flame just as you guys picking on my elementary work with photoshop I am new to photoshop and still trying to learn. I did the white wheels but did you look at the pic in this link... http://www.protegemp3.com/cgi-bin/ul...c&f=3&t=000843 ?
This is the pic of the bronze wheels Take a look

 

OK maybe I'm missing somehting, but could someone please explain to me what the Hell is the point of putting a carbon fiber hood on your car in the first place? It breaks up the continuity of a clean lookin car and adds to the rice factor if you ask me.

 

carbon fiber hoods are sick. I thought they looked
wierd at first too but they look nice on most cars-
like on the protege/mp3. carbon fiber hoods are
lighter than regular stock metal hoods, therefore increasing
horsepower PER POUND. Not much of course, but if
you replace dozens of parts with lighter weight ones
like cams, gears, etc. it could make a difference with
a car as small and light as proteges are, especially those
races that are so close you can't tell who won until the
lights flicker. Anyway, most people like to waste $500 b/c
of the fact that it "adds to the rice factor." Rice is what
gives suped up cars show. Without them, street racing
would be black and white, and racing wouldn't look as pretty.

 

dude.... F = ma ....., not mv. momentum is mv

 

E=mc^2 ? maybe

E(kinetic)=mv^2 ?
