I edited the post. I just included the lens flare in with the headlights.

EDIT: and I do want to know. That's why I created this thread.

aww really? I was hoping it'd be a little convincing. the headlight looks off to me.

@ ivory8: LOL that's a proper use for photoshop if I ever heard of one!

i disagree that the CF hood looks fake, i used to go to photoshopchop.com (a car photoshopping forum) and alot of people use a stripe type method that actually looks worse than that, id like to know how u did the little dots evenly spaced, also it looks better because u see the reflection of the tree in it...i used to do chops of cars but most of em suck...ill go dig up an old 1

I think the hood looks pretty real. If someone told me it was real and didn't tell me it was a photoshop I wouldn't think twice about it being a fake.

Thats just the thing. They aren't evenly spaced, and they aren't dots. they're tiny gradients that fade from black to white. with a twirl pattern rendered throughout them. Then put them over the real hood, skewed it to make it 3D (the pattern is larger near the front of the hood and finer near the rear). Made the blend pattern multiply, nearly desaturated the real hood all the way (left a little color for reflections of trees and such) and there you go.
