Very late, but welcome to the forum! :)

Darken the shadow a bit and drop it down a bit more ;)

Also lower the opacity or the carbon pattern and erase it softly around the edges at about 50% and it should give a nice effect, if you want. :)

Thanks Opeo!

Upgrade time!

Got rid of the carbon for now, lowered it a bit and put some other rims on it.
Hope you like it!

Hi Rob, welcome to Vm.

love the modded Cube, infact I love all the parts on it.
The only problem is the execution, I had a closer look at the arches and there quite jagged.

To solve that, have a look at using the pentool, it may look hard but it's a really useful tool to know in the future:
Heres a noob tutorial I made a while back: http://j-hui.deviantart.com/gallery/23649930#/d2hyidu

Other then that small issue, the chops is looking nice, the sticker idea sounds awesome, if there's any thing you need help, post a Wip and I'll try to help =)

@ J_Hui: Thanks for the tips! I will definatly use em

But now i'm facing another problem.
I decided not to sticker the arches and skirt, but only the front.
But it seems like i'm not getting it to look real, so do you have any tips about that?

Here's the wip:

I think the problem is the stickers look a bit too transparent, or too bright.

What I would do is make two layers of the sticker, then make one darker, using pentool or lasso select areas which should have light (from the direct sun) and lightly erase it.

Rough 2 minute job with no mouse..

Or.... I could be wrong lol
