Very Nice

Is that your desktop in the silver pic?
If so, what different desktop theme do you run? Looks sweet.

For a first time manip, it's prettyy good but there are several things that I think could use some tweaking.

First off, the window reflections shouldn't be gold-colored like the paint it because it's reflecting the snow. That is, unless the windows also received the gold treatment but that would just be weird. Second thing is the decals you put on there don't properly fit the car's curves and therefore look pasted on. I also think that decals/airbrush should not let the basecoat's color seep through. IE, the decal should be a solid color, not gold but that's merely a personnal opinion.

Third, the skirt looks blurry and semi-opaque, especially on the edges. I also noticed that the gold color blurs out of boundaries in places around the hood. However, I really like the soft glow and feel you put in there. Very nice. I also noticed you prushes off the logo on the hood which is a nice touch. Overall, a good manip but you just need to spend a bit more time tweaking it. Good luck!
