What about a Photochop section with contest?

I was thinking it might be cool to have a photochop (and/or sketches) of concepts with contests. What do you think? You could have a request area as well.

If you dont have access to Photoshop, I know its pricey. You can use GIMP, its FREE. I have used it for about 10 years now along with Photoshop as well. GIMP is an amazing free program that allows you to install Photoshop plugins, brushes, etc. You can find it at GIMP - The GNU Image Manipulation Program.

What kind of Photo'chop' things?

[cpoore]

Some ideas (feel free to add-or object):

• Paint Jobs (flames, stripes, retro, etc)
• Custom body (unique custom parts, body kits, specific body parts, spoilers, lights, etc)
• Lowering or Raising (sport, lowrider, to baja)
• Tires and Wheels (one of kind, or combos of current products)
• Interior (any custom interior parts)

It would be cool to have a resource area for parts to use for reference. Might not be legally possible.


EDIT: The chops could be on most radical beetle body, best chop-top, best lighting modification, best stance, best paint, most radical race concept, best body concept (old school, body combos, fastback, targa, folding hardtop, mini-wagon, and so on). It could be something fun and allow 2 wks to complete for time for contests.

So check this out. This is a photo-chop of a Triumph GT6 concept that FactoryFive is making a TDi kitcar that will be a mid/rear engine sports car based on a Jetta platform that they aim to cost 10k for kit plus donor car.
