Looks fine to me, but the grey makes it kinda boring.

I personally think you should make the windows at least one pixel closer to the side each ways - especially on the opentop where it is more visible. On the opentop, the back thing wraps around the sides, and is slightly raised in comparison to the rest of the car. I also think, that the windshield could be a pixel longer. Perhaps the contrast between the highlights and shadows could be enhanced... the gamma correction tool always seems to work well. I love the front detail btw. I think the dashboard is slightly too big - perhaps ending it a pixel earlier would sort it. I really do not like that spoiler - looks like a dull blue strip. The colour seems to be wrong, and it doesnt look metallic. The spoiler on the real thing curves under on the edges - if you shadowed each side, perhaps it would give it that needed depth. Also, I think that it may be a pixel two long either side. The rear window/slat arrangement is very jaggy on the right hand side. It should be a lot smoother there imo - the real thing curves down very subtley and this is very abrupt. The vent thing could blend more, and be rounded at the end - it looks very angular atm. On a final note, I think the wingmirrors are missing. Otherwise, good job. ------------------ I see infinite constraints only bound by their conception ::.. . . .
