    That, no doubt, was the problem. I batched four large image files. Sent the big files by email. Thanks.

    Maybe the chrome displays differently for me -- I use an LED TV for my monitor.

    To me, the chrome on your model is too white and zorares' chrome looks too gray. But, maybe its my TV. I only mention it because I know you're looking for comments. Great work!!

    I started working on the Grabber hood last night but I'm running into an issue. I want to make this as exact as possible, but I cannot find any pics of the hood from the top. Can anyone help me with that? I'd appreciate it! :dance:

    Thanks!! From what I understand, chrome is kinda difficult to get the coloring just right when modeling. With the way mine looks, it looks like chrome to me. I think zorares' chrome looks amazing in his render, better than mine. :thumbs2:

    I have a pretty good picture of my carbon fiber grabber hood if you would like it.

    I've started trying to create a template for Andrew's Maverick. Started with the hood. Here is the first result. Rendered in Poser Pro 12.

    Just needs the mirrors (y)

    Looks good but a little squarish on the corners of the graphics I think.

    Here's the CF Grabber hood in case anybody is interested in seeing what their car would look like with one.

    Decided to make the door and rear quarter window chrome more realistic looking.
