Do you have a online portfolio or some other samples of your work? Id love to see them.

Smuggled? No need to be coy about it -- it is Vegas baby!

Pretty much my only portfolio is the Rampant Renders site. But, I need to add a lot to that. Just haven't had the time, or need

Great chops. This is being nitpicky, but the headlight shape looks a bit different than the mule, mainly because of the shading/bumper mold. The headlight in the chop looks flatter and sunken into the fender up top. The bottom portion the bumper is more sculpted with the headlight:

BYZ looks too smiley-faced, Toyota looks better =)

On the test car, it looks like it can be removed so perhaps its just a tempory thing for testing.

I hate the fake grill sections on a lot of cars these days. All in the name of Aerodynamics and aesthetics I guess.

See how the top part of the grill isn't functional, blocked by plastic.

Like the Chevy Volt. It's grill is completely blocked out for less drag. Look at the Audi in the background, you can see the bumper support going across the middle of the grill.

Seeing that clip on the Subaru makes me think that they are still experimenting with an aerodynamic bumper. Maybe they realized that area right above the grill was a problem. Being recessed like on the Gazoo car, it might be adding more resistance instead of channeling it.

well if they are going to shorten the grill, they can at least make it wider on the bottom, to make it even the slightest aggressive rather than this...

definitely prefer this

p.s. not sure why i used pokemon to show this... im showing my age

im feeling the fr-s more now but who knows what they will turn out to be. fr-s looks more aggressive but the chrome headlight need to go on both.

Yeah, I wasn't sure what to do with that, but you can clearly see from the mule that it is an insert:

And, without the black plastic behind it, it looks even more odd.

Anyway.... here's to hoping the production version comes out better! (and I am confident it will)
