This is the first of more to come after a hard drive crash. The 44 is supposed to have a sister 33 Monster Energy Zero Ultra to match, but I haven't been able to catch up. Also the numbers are supposed to be foiled but they just don't show up in rendering. Any tips or suggestions would be nice.

44 looks awesome. For that aluminum look, make the white darker.

Looks good - only suggestion would be to match the angle of the QP Monster logo to either the angle of the stripe, or the angle of the Rocky Ridge logo.

Amateur Hour? That looks more professional to me. Umm....wait....Home Depot on a semi Hendrick car? Yeah there is where the amateur part comes in. Lol. Awesome looking car.

Im working with limited resources. Gimp can be a pain. Deciding which sponsors that would be good together can be difficult. I know in the real world some teams have B2B with sponsors and that some sponsors wouldn't work with others. For example, I'm a Mountain Dew guy and Home Depot would never team with PepsiCo due to their relation with Coke. I just like the Monster logos a lot.

Looks good - that drafting render scene is so freaking phenomenal. Gosh. I've seen it all over and every time it looks awesome.

If you need help with GIMP just let me know. That's what I've been using for a long time.

I hope you know I was only giving you a hard time. Lol. I am a Lowe's guy myself. I am a Jimmie Johnson fan but I also work there. So it's kind of in my nature to give a hard time when I see a Home Depot logo. Lol. I really didn't even notice the Coca-Cola logo. I am also a Mello Yello guy myself which is a Coke product. I do like Mountain Dew which I guess could be kind of confusing. Lol. I know at work we do sell Pepsi products near the registers. But we have both a Coke and Pepsi machine in the break room. Now sure what Depot has.

2 Mountain Dew Throwback designs that I have created. One is based off the Mountain Dew Throwback that is currently distributed and the other is based on the Dale Jr/Darrell Waltrip schemes.

That's quite violent for a car in a video game.

Sorry @ahspencer01 probably extreme but figurative language
