I've been playing around with a Metro/Swift in PS. Outlines are easier to modify if you have them!

This is the biggest thing I'd think you could do to improve this one. Sorry I'm not too good with PhotoShop yet. I learned a bunch doing this. The roof to rear window transition looks like it would create flow separation to me. A Kamm spoiler thing there would create a clean release and less turbulence.

Bad pictures? Too complex?

Wow. I guess I missed when this thread took off. So I will do my best to Photoshop a few of the requests. Below is number 1.

I'd like to see what your shopping would do to a stock 2003 Chevy Cavalier 4 door.

Heres a decent side profile of one. Maybe you'll be the inspiration for some mod I put on mine.
