    I don't think they're waiting for Photoshoppers there :D

    I used once again a 800x800 template since that's the max resolution FC allows, which has a benefit of easy to shop (not insane much detail) and I don't need high res images of wheels etc to soop in. The big downside of course is that the image is low-res, which doesn't make it suited for a wallpaper.

    Ah yes, that's a classic colour combo, turned out quite nice.

    This car begs for two-tone. I hope they are looking at this in Maranello and will give us that option!

    Great work...thanks. Color is such an individual thing though I think you see the lines of the car better in the lighter colors - though the black is terrific. I've got a pozzi 430 spider and it does black when it is not in the sun.

    Great work Jim! I love the black roof concepts, especially with the black 5 spokes. I was kind of mad at first when I saw that our work was posted without permission, but it's just for fun so I guess it's not that bad. It will, however, be the last time I post anything on the internet without some type of signature.

    here's a quick updated version of my pshop on page 2. I also posted a pshop i did a few days before the 458 was revealed. i thought it was relevant because I put the prancing horse in the lower grill. and i think it's bad a**

    The headlights are still bugging me a bit so I changed them with my very limited PS skills.

    well see it looks better when it looks closer to having a scuderia style grill likwe you have here. Looks better with the side vents on the grill like the scuderia has

    wow good idea: smoked headlamps; it transforms the front, makes it very aggressive and evil looking

    great job

    I know it's illegal, but I think changing all the LED's to red on a black or darker color car would be interesting. Knight Rider-esque.

    I like the headlights and, out of character for me, the two-tone as well. This forum is full of design talent! Fred

    Thanks a lot for all the work! Incredible!

    If you have time, how about a Rosso Corsa w/ the top portion in carbon fiber (except the rear spoiler) and standard wheel?

    Any other variations from that would also be appreciated!

    Couldn't find a good full on side image of the type without the rivets. Do you have a decent picture?

    Nonetheless added the one with rivets to the list.
