it does look like a photochop, but thats cus the low sun gives loong and unnatural looking shadows, and the road is uneven which gives it a wrong appearance as well. if it is a photochop it is done by a pro cus a drop shadow on the rocks like that is very hard to do

yeah most definately not a photochop, you can see the tyre depressions behind the car the the mud on the tyres. it looks like one because its just so out of place. would guess they wiped the dust off it before the photo too, as it seems way too clean to have driven through there

definately needs wider tyres at the back. why have huge pumped guards and narrow tyres? the front bumper needs to be a little chunkier/aggressive too.

otherwise i like it, something that not many people would have the guts to do

the monaro is interesting, i agree it need MUCH bigger wheels at the back (something like 335 ) but apart from that, if i never saw a holden or a ford b4 id say its a good looking car, it has nice clean lines

I would agree with that, but it has the same colour dirt on the wheels...
