coming from you .. i take it as a great compliment... merci beaucoupGreat render !

all octane.. only post in photoshop .. is a slight color corection and the lens dirt effect .how did you get the lights to glow? is that Post process or those octane lights used as car lights?
the ""light bulbe"" is a polygonal object with a black body material
great observation !! .. yeahh i want overboard with the mud.. and it look kind of rusty .. how about artistic licence ? supposed to look like a model kit anywayQuestion. If the photo is meant to look like it was taken back in the 1970's, why is the car resembling such an old and burnt feel?
Also, the bump on the paint is a little strong. The body is made of fiberglass, so it can't rust. Although paint can bubble, but I have never seen paint bubble that much. Looks great though.
