I think it's just the lighting, but it looks like it was rammed in the back! Also the overall design of these cars doesn't really lend itself to a macho look so I think you may be in for an exercise in futility in trying to make it look mean. About the most "bad-***" version I've seen is the police car promo shot with black wheels, battering ram, etc. (links below) Other than that I think it's just a family-oriented safetymobile not worth any photoshop time

Ya, it didnt come out really agressive. but about the back, i tried to give it bulging rear fenders that were "smoothly" sculptured. Kinda like the 350Zs rear fenders is what i was going for.

this is just constructive feedback so don't feel discouraged, i think you did a good job but not enough... i would recommend always changing things like the rims etc. that make the pic look entirely different... because the mind automatically thinks old impala and it doesn't strike as anything special... even though the body style remains the same making a small change will really add an improvement to that pic. nonetheless nice job, try lowering the stance in the front a little bit if you can. Good job though keep up the good work one day i plan to upload my pics as well.. (no scanner)

I think it's ok looking. Could be a tad more agressive though.........I say that but I couldn't tell you in what way.........hence why I'm not the one designing cars. I do know what I like though.
It looks Holden Commodoreish........

I agree, there is not much you can do to it. Sadly enough I own a 2002. Its BLAH boring, but a good around town getter for the wife. Besides, she's too scared to drive the Z or the 9C1 Only way to make it exciting is RWD and a V8!

I swore after they killed the F bod I'd never go back.....but, I'm like a junkie and know no other path But hey, at least the GTO is an awesome attempt, thats my excuse.
