First post, I just wanted to post this up and share my progress. Feel free to crit and comment.

I do want to point out a few things first, and thats that the wheels and tires are not final, they are place-holders for the real ones that will come last. Also, I already know the grille is out too far and thats what i'm currently fixing, so that being said, here's the pictures.

Thanks in advance for any crits / comments.

****EDIT****
just finnished modeling on the rear of the car... probably some adjustments to come here and there, and i got a few more minor exterior modeling to do before i move inside, then finnish the textures / shading, and then put the real wheels on it...
