That is bad@ss. Only problem is the tire area is kind of choppy. But other than that awesome.

I like it. Some suggestions that may enhance it.

1. Fix the flat tires
2. Mess around with type. try using 2nd and 3rd gen Z28 actual logos and see how they look
3. Also add a rear end pic if you have one
4. Try fading the type towards the background, almost like a watermark.
5. Love the lighting. Experiment with making it flash. I know someone on the board can help you with that.
6. I also wonder is this a sig or wallpaper? If sig then you must reduce. If wallpaper then go ahead as shown or even increase in size.
7. There are some lines running thru the background. What are they? There is a kinda reddish vertical one to the right and several parallel blue ones near the bottom. Clean those up if you can.

These are just suggestions from a graphic art major.

Try this...

Okay for the powerlines you can get rid of them. You have 3 options. First get the background pic with the lighting seperated from the cars and type. Then...

1. copy and paste a area of the pic that does not have the powerline in them over the area that does.

2. crop out the most obvious one which is the maroon one on the right. It really is taking aaway from the overall concept, especially since it runs thru the car. After you crop it out then stretch and enlarge the rest of the pic to the size you have it now and add the type and cars back to it.

3. Use the blur, smudge or erase tool to eliminate them. This takes more time and experience but you can do it.

If you send me the background pic I will help you with it. Send it as an attachment to my email address.

Sorry to make such a big deal out of it, but is that not MUCH, MUCH better?

Sorry it is the perfectionist in me.

NOW it looks good. Work on that original lettering.
