Photoshopped car ideas

So I photoshopped one car the other day and now I'm addicted. I've been randomly picking cars and playing with them. Adding some of the improvements we all know so well around here. Figured I'd post them for others to see. Who knows maybe one of those big wigs at those companies out there might see something they like.

Feel free to post your ideas.

The one that got this all started. The Honda Fit


The Ford fusion

Everyone knows how bad these are. I figure just about anything will improve it.

Hmmm, the Jeep rear section looks very marketable.

Tip on the Fusion, erase the door handles, and add a wiper cowl. Ok thats just my opinion on it.

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.

Subscribed. I like the subtlety of the Fusion. Ford could pick that up, and it would sell.

You wanna play with a '96 F150? LOL

Is this the reason that photos are no longer admissible as evidence in a courtroom? I would have never known had you not told us.Beautiful!

Since I dont own a car I always use my paint.net free software to ecomod some of the cars I am considering. They arent near as good as whats above, but they/re good enough. I'll try to upload some.
