Quick and dirty, because I wanted to see what it would look like.

I love this! Heres one of my 911.

This is so much fun I've started the same thread on my Alfa Romeo site. http://www.alfabb.com/bb/forums/showthread.php?p=72901#post72901

Here is your tutorial:

Firstly, it is better to pick a photo with a neutral background (like trees or a wall) since the background will be compressed too. A side view is also easier than a 3/4 front view as the angle will not vary so much.

Once you have selected a picture then its best to duplicate that layer just in case you make a mistake.

First thing to do is to select the area around the front wheel, making sure to get some of the wheel arch and ground in too. I use the Polygonal Lasso Tool to make the selcetion and once its selected, hit EDIT, COPY, EDIT, PASTE. This will paste that selection onto a new layer.

It's very simple - only took a couple of minutes. If you have a side view with a simple background I'll do one for you

Unfortunately none with a simple background, but maybe I can edit it out later. Will this do?

Absolutely hilarious!

You say it is simple, and it must be because you did it in two or three minutes, but it must depend upon a very thorough knowledge of PhotoShop, eh?

Thanks for doing mine!
