Some cars I've been working on

Ok no master pieces here, just plain and simple I hope you like them.  Some constructive criticism or comments would be greatly appreciated.  The Cayman's are still works in progress,  the STI is almost finished just a few more little additions basically finished.

Nice Cars!  I like the Cayman. 

The STi is nice as well but 2 things jump out.  I would prefer if everything in front of the red stripe were a bright white instead of a gradient.  Just a personal preference.  2nd, the number plate appears to be leveled with the body line instead of the door molding.  In my opinion the molding is more of a point of reference than the actual body like.  If you were to level it with the door gap and the molding line it would appear to be straighter.  There's just too many different lines in one spot for me.  Other than that, keep it up.
Go sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here.

Thanks for the input.  I was thinking bout moving the numbers on the STI, it just seemed out of place.  Possibly putting it in the red stripe somehow.  As for the caymans the logos are most likely going to be changed to something better suited to the body line and flow of the car.  The colors are still up in the air.  Suggestions are welcome but as of now the bottom cayman is currently what I have on the car. 

New pictures will be posted as soon as I get back home this weekend. 

Thanks Fit4aking for the help.

The orange Cayman looks really nice. Fits the curve of the car...

Here is a few updated pictures of my [B700] Cayman:







The new work in progress Turbo [S997]:







Note the logos(skull included) are not of my own creation.  They were on cars that I bought on the AH, just to clear that up.  Please leave comments suggestions and the like, thanks..........Mike

Done! well with the paint, might be a few little thing to tweak in the booth but all in all its done.  All decals were made by me except for a few that Bimmer let me borrow, huge thanks for that, saved me a migraine. The tune is for A-class[850] and because it was done by me its not barn burner or pavement eater, kinda slow and sorta grippy.  Specs and tune will follow if there is any interest, in the "It's About the cars" section of the site.  Enjoy

Thanks, it means a lot coming from a senior Muscle-inc member.  There are a few things I changes mainly the hood, had some weird graphic, kind of looked like a cheese grader, that didn't fit the car IMO.  Thanks again.

Very nice.  I'd love to see how you've got it set up.  I'm working on a large (for me) German car at the moment, too.  I'm having a few issues.

Lot's of nice looking metal in here.  I've recently been building and tuning the Porsche's (....all of 'em..LOL) and have built a nice stable.  I may come to you for some paint for these babies... :D
