The Wrap:
Well, it's over. It was a bit of work, and hopefully a lot of fun, and ran well, apart from a few glitches, but we're here at the end, and we managed to have a successful competition! We've had some close battles in the group stages, with a great standard of cars entered. Despite the limits of the challenge, many show winners have been built, and they can only get better when they hit the showroom. Congratulations to the winner and runners up of challenge! It was well deserved.

Congratulations to all the finalists, you've put up a great fight, but the winners had to hold it's own against any competition, stand out from the crowd anywhere! And so, even though it was the runner up of group 2, CF Ghost, by Dr. Motor made it right to the final, standing the test of time and earning the votes of fellow tuners consistently, coming up against a car that has had an easier path, E-Volante. E-Volante continued it's domination, and D-ToX once again proved he is the "Underground 2 King" The 3rd spot went to baumaxx1's Vulcan, which is still an honor considering the difficulties of the battle system.

(Although it may seem unfair that Vulcan (G2 winner) was ultimately beaten by CF Ghost, it's not at all, you voted, it didn't make the cut. If you have any suggestions on how this could be run better, feel free to comment, but this keeps tuners on their toes and encourages them to do their very best.)

Yeah, it was a sort of general layout thing... just for the general picture entry rules... not a design demo.

The God Of War and Neo Matrix got my votes. The other two were either:

Colour combo overused
or
Too simple.

If the owner of Neo Matrix reads this, the only gripe I got with the car is the taillights.

I'm actually surprised that none of these competitors needed a roof scoop. Wow. Unfortunately, you have to make some sacrifices to get the rating up :wink: That was the challenge.

My favourites are 1: Dragon Soul and 2: Neo Matrix :)

Good points of Dragon soul:
-Base Paint
-Bodywork is very nice
-Vinyls are cool
Small thing:
I think the spoiler could've been changed to one that's a little better, but that's my opinion :)


Good points of Neo Matrix:
-Colors
-Vinylwork
-Futuristic look

Then 3rd is White 240SX and last but not least God of War

Minpoints White 240SX IMO:
-Cf hood
-Colorcombo, is a lil overused

Minpoints God of War IMO:
-To dark looking
-Cf trunk
-Spoiler

So that's what I think, but I want to say another thing:
So far this 1st group features magnificent cars that lie close togheter I think,
so applause to the creators of them =D> =D>

Second: Give Baumaxx a applause for setting this all up and putting alot of time in it =D> =D>
