Maybe some of the comments are a little harsh,

But they have a point. Your chop looks 99% the same as the reference picture, you've even used the same wheels :( What is the point in this? The point of chopping is to create something unique of your own, not copy a photographer's work.

If all you wanted was practice at the brushing technique and fitting a few extra parts, then why do you not use the 'reference' as the base picture instead of wasting your time copying parts across the base to make it look identical to the donor and then overbrushing.
It not only waste's your time, but it will make a lot of people think that you have brushed from nothing and built it up, rather than what you actually did - just recolouring pixel for pixel, a photograph.

All we ask is that you think about what you post as the base image, and whether it's really worth calling it that. Be honest to yourself and decide which would be the better base image to begin with, considering the final outcome that you want

Just a warning for future reference.
Try and use lots of reference for brushing, if possible from different cars at different angles - then you make something entirely new

The same rules should apply for brushing reference

Good luck :-d

People didn't get that it was another The C/P Good and Bad Thread (or whatever it's named)
Rates: 1 stolen 4 very bad 6 acceptable 7 realistic + nice 8 very good 9 awesome 10 awesome + epic
Well, I'll show you how it looks now with the same reflections sketched as a model to immediately exclude the C/P...

Let me make this clear. The problem is not that you CP-d something, and then overbrushed it. Many use this method, and its clearly one of the best ways to make a good looking chop.
The problem is you used a donor which is from the same manufacturer and kind of the same angle, and you used EVERYTHING from the same donor which is not cool either.

All they want (and me too) is some creativity, use one donor for the colour (many call it as a reference), use one for the bodykit, wheels, etc. You can always add even more creativity to your chops if you try and make your own bg too.
