Harris, this is the way I have always done it, hope this helps.
first make a duplicate layer of the car you wanna lower
then make a selection similar to this on the TOP layer,

now just cut that area out and slide up the duplicate layer, making sure to keep it BELOW the layer you made the cut on.Now you may need to crop out the blank space at the bottom from where you slid up the bottm layer.Also some applications you made need to add some shadows to the bottom layer as well
I drew some red circles to indicate where you would add shadows on this document.
hope this helps, if I wasnt clear on something dont hesitate to ask

in the first pic, how did u just cut the layer, the way i tried was long and tideous by deleting the background and making the picture twice, then importing the layer, your way looks much easier, if i just knew how to only cut the layer
thanks a lot
this is fun, today i lowered a 300zx tt and i added rims to my ls

1. use lasso/polygonal tool(whichever u prefere) and trace out the car, with the background taht is above it, excluding the rims
2. copy and paste the selection, so that you will have 1 layer(lets call it layer 1)of the car's body and background over the original picture.
3. Select the move tool and move layer 1 up or down to where u want it.
4. If necessary, use eraser tool to erase parts of layer 1, exposing the original wheels.
5. Merge layer 1 down, and crop picture so the top of original background is not showing.

Harris......like Trueno stated, you can use the polygon lasso tool( key command L) to select the area you want to cut(key command ctrl+x) away, exposing the layer beneath it, then just use the move tool(key command v) to slide the layer into place therefore lowering the car.

I was wondering how u selected along the tirewell so accurately, just with the lasso tool? LIke in the first pic that GS posted, its a perfect curve following the edge of the car. How did you do that

yeah there are some good tutorials on that site.As far as making the perfect selection around the wheels wells, I just use the plygon lasso tool and make small increments as i go along , tracing the shape i need.You hve to zoom in real close to get it precise though dont forget.
