Out of curiousity what are you modeling it in? (you probably already answered that, but I'm just too lazy to go search for it in 18 pages)

nice. I like 3ds. I've been trying to do modeling of the short block in inventor--but quickly lose interest because I don't have the measurements or a hard version I could measure in front of me.

But none-the-less you do excellent work. The dimensions seem spot on to me. But that's just a quick once over. Very nice.

Okay so I'm not recieving any help from people in my area, SO what I need are DIRECTLY top, side, front, and back views - of s4 mirrors, and spoilers.

I do mean DIRECTLY in that view though, make sure it's as close to non-perspective as possible.

Thank you in advance.

YAY! Found someone in my area to help with the pictures, should be a huge update by next week after I take those pictures!

(If you've already taken pictures feel free to post them, as an artist reference is always underrated, more pictures I have the more chance I got of getting it right! Please post away.)

Not sure if they're good enough but here you go. Oh and I'm including the shape of the back end to show thats its a nice smooth curve and not boxy. I want to get into this modeling stuff. What are you using?

Thanks, I don't think I'm going to fix the back end up really, this project has taken wayyyyy too long and I need to quit nit picking on little things. :p

But thank you, didn't need to do both sides of the mirrors but it's appreciated, I'll check and see how things are looking when I get to school and can open it up and get to work on things.

Still need good pics (just like that) of the spoiler however.

I think the scene that I'm going to put the 7 is this:

http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l1...r/DSC06998.jpg

If anyone knows the person who shot this, or the person who's car it is, I would love to get their permission to use it commercially in my reproduction. No part of the original picture will be used, all will be reproduced CG. (computer generated)

Thanks for the attempt, the back view of it straight on is the only one I could use as a reference however. Thanks for the perspective pics though. It should help me with getting the fit and form ready for the body.

AND! Thanks to a forum member... RXzeben

I got good pics of the spoiler from him, and now have completed the car! At least the outside... and still debating on whether to fix the things pointed out to me.

But you get an idea below:
