seems like somebody likes doing stock car replicas. Nice job.

This is my attempt to put some Gulf/Mitsubishi Starion livery on the XRR.

Rear View

There are a few issues I need to sort out (the Eibach logo on the right wing tip needs to be moved a bit, for instance), and I'm not sure how well the Cromo logo-inspired curved orange stripe on the side works with the orange stripe on top, but I'm relatively new to this skinning business, and it's good enough for me to race for now.

Any thoughts or feedback would be appreciated.

It might be just the compression applied to your sceenie of the CMX viewer but your skin looks pretty low quality. If you're already working in 2048px I suggest searching for higher resolution logos on the internet a bit more.
Suggestion: Both Shinozooka and Cromo are tyre brands, I'd remove the Shinozooka decal.
That's about it I like it though.

I think it's the compression on the screenshots mainly--I'm working in 2048x2048 using the Master Skinnerz kit, and the main Gulf logos are from a 1024x768 image. The other, more minor problem would be that when I scale the 2048 PSD to 1024 in the GIMP and then export to JPG the image isn't as crisp (which to some extent is to be expected, of course). I may experiment with exporting in 2048 and then scaling the JPG (although I can't see any reason why that would be better).

Also, Shinozooka is a tire brand? Really? I thought that Cromo, Torro, and the real life Michelin were the only LFS tire brands. Good to know, though. Fortunately, all the decals are separate layers. so they're easily removed.

Yea, I know. Just wanted to start with something easy so I could get the hang of it, or atleast have a small view of how you make a skin.

A lot would need to be edited in that. I'm no master skinner but I think I can provide you with some advice if you care:
1. Use only "LFS-standard" resolutions, preferrably 2048x2048
2. Get a decent 2048x2048 carbon fibre texture because patching small bits just won't work.
3. Get high resolution decals or at least not so jagged ones.
4. Have a basic shape (stripe/flame/flag/whatever) on the skin to make the blank parts more interesting.
5. The overall outcome reflects your attitude towards the whole thing. Post nice skins and you'll get positive comments and thus be treated nicely

Happy skinning

1) the skin is 2048x2048

2) that is the high qual carbon fiber from master skinners

3) the decals are ripped from brandsoftheworld.com

4) base skins are used so noobs can put there Own deigns

5) my attitude is utmost positive , tho when you get people flaming you your mood tends to change

I originally designed this on Forza Motorsport on the Xbox, on a Nissan S15.

Decided to transfer it over to LFS Bit of a drifters skin, to be fair.
