83 yellow needs to be blue,. and the 6 and 5 look odd IMO.

my favs are
9
33
62 (duh)
Red Bull cars
and JCR cars, love the base

My personal favorites:

05
81
44
85
All the 426 entries (obviously) except for the 46. Something just...looks out of place on it...

A few notes:

- The green wall on the tire is way too thick and it looks like the tires themselves are all green. IMO, making the wall thinner would help the cars' overall aesthetic appeal.

- The number on the 4 should be either be colored brown or outlined in brown.

- The bottom stripe on the 5 should be red with a silver outline instead of black with a red outline.

- The 6's number should be a different color.

- The Raskin cars NEED SPONSORS...

- Wonderful job on the Red Bull cars. Never thought it was possible for four cars with that sponsor to have that much differentiation.

- The font on the Bandsma cars (save the 85) is way too generic.

1, 01, 10, 11 -- Dodge logos look weird in white

6 -- Impala logo, Number should be Blue

RJ's 68 79 80, -- Number looks too thin, doesnt fit, should be like the 85

Looks like Kimberly. Not sure.

It is.

Like them all but for the texture on the flame of the #9. Just doesn't look good in my opinion.

like them all. josh u did a awesome job with the cars. can't wait for the 2011 season to start.

Again, the 62 looks horrific.

The 83...I know I've said it before but I looked at it again and CANT SEE THE NUMBERS either. Change to blue!

I know, i was joking because thats' my driver

Ok, my thoughts on NCCS '11 cars.

#1 - White + Unsponsored = Boring, Hope there's sponsorship soon, plus the Dodge & Charger need to be in black.

#3 - Despite the fact it has Dale written all over it, it's good... except that Z-Force logo, move it to the rear decklid.

#4 - I'm sorry to say this, but silver does not work for UPS, maybe for frieght, but not normal, its needs to be either Brown, or possibly Goldish Yellow.

#5 - Pretty cool, I think red on the bottom would make it look twice as better.

#6 - Good, but white numbers and logos on white background doesn not work... ever. Make it blue.

#9 - I said it before and i'll say it again, WAY Better than last year's car.

#01 - same as #1

#03 - Great car (as before in other post), roof numbers need to be white or yellow.

#05 - Great looking car, kinda has the same look like in Josh's GIMP tutorial, but I think the design got a bit covered by the sponsor, a minor fix.

#06 - Kinda saw this coming (Seriously, what is it with Cobra Starship?)

#09 - Pretty good, might not be as better as the #9, but it works.

#10 - Same as #1

#11 - Same as #1

#15 - THAT IS AWESOME! Looks much more betther than last year's NAAS car.

#23 - Kinda has that Brian Keselowski look going, and I REALLY Like the Taurus!

#30 - As before, the BEST of the Triple C Cars!

#33 - You know, I stand corrected about the roof numbers, they now kinda work, but this is still the weakest of the Triple C Cars.

#35 - As before, great looking car.

#39 - Nice car, just a bit unsure about Silver on the front, it needs to swap with the green.

#42 - Retro Hot Wheels look brings back good memories.

#44 - Great looking car, only problem, name on the side need to be thinner height-wise.

#46 - Still a great looking car, even if it has a different number and its on a different car.

#51 - Very nice, I think the one problem I have with it is the Mountains, I think they need to be bigger. Othen that that, Great Car.

#62 - Looks nice, nothing much else to say.

#68 - Great car, Bad number, that number needs changing SEVERLY.

#73 - Red Bull in Black, Very Cool.

#74 - Red Bull in Blue, Preety Obvious, but still cool.

#75 - Red Bull in Red, never thought i'd see it, but it actually looks good.

#76 - Red Bull in Sliver, also obvious, but also cool.

#79 - Same as #68

#80 - Simple, but good, numbers still a problem as on #68 and #79.

#81 - SO much better than last year's car!

#82 - Like it a lot, probably needs a color swap to make it look better.

#83 - Good... but the numbers need a blue outline, or the yellow needs to be blue.

#84 - Really like this car.

#85 - Good car, but why Dickies if there's already 3 cars with that sponsor?

#94 - Not bad, at least it has something on the car that on the #1, #01, #10 & #11, Camry name nned to be black.

#99 - Great looking car, might need to lower the sponsors a bit on the hood and the side.

ONE MUST NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE COBRA.

Oh, and thanks for the compliments.

nice group of cars but that green stripe is quite distracting. i think the 99 is my favorite of the bunch.

Ya, this is like the design on the gimp tutorial, It's simple and quick. Thanks.

Thats the only mountains I could find, I'm lucky I found any, lol. Also thanks.

Eric, do you have Powerpoint 2003 or 2007? On that mountain template, if you open the slide master, you can take the mountains off there. If you don't have it, send me a base of the car without the mountains and I'll slap them on and see if it looks good at all...

i like the mountains like that, well my dad does, he was a big sterling marlin fan and he always liked the paint scheme with just the mountains. there about the same size but the only difference it that there blue.
