Lol i am a begining with photoshop i took a 3 month course to learn the basics and was practice in my spare time. The rendering was enough to get the right ppl to back me and support the build even tho im a novice. Same with the widebody i had a basic idea and took it from there!

Good thing the real work is nothing like the PS'd one.

looks great so far. I think that front bumper is a little to big imo, if you ride low that thing will get cracked/broken in no time at all.

I agree this bumper is no match for new york streets. Im shopping around for a air suspension kits for it. You have any suggestions?
