based on making your FTO look superfly. I've started with a simple one to get people
familiar with the tools they will be using later on when I do the chop shop tutorials.
so here is the pic I did in the vid

Just find a torrent with cd key, easy to find anywhere.

I'm pretty decent with photoshop, have designed a couple of websites in the past also,, I'm just so lazy and cbf making anything anymore, doesn't interest me like it used to when I was in high school.

Awesome vid.

Nice tutorial mate

I really like that pic ... I have been wanting to do something similar to my rear bumper for a while & still haven't found anything I like better ...

I want to make my rear bumper like this;

There are a few things I would've done differently than you have to make it a bit quicker .. just that as soon as you paste something it is an active object .. you can free transform without needing to select it again .. I like using the history brush & clone tool a lot too ..

Thanks for the comments, you're right; the history brush and clone tools are great but I wanted to keep it simple for beginners and the reason why I selected an already active item was to show the whole process of free transform from start to finish.
