Contest #101: Saab 9-5

**Rex Raider** · 06-09-2006, 07:03 AM

Take the picture below and modify it any way that you want. Change colors, looks, background, etc...

The changes can be serious or silly. The changes don't have to make the car more desirable, they just have to make it different.

You are showing off your creativity and your chopping skills.

You must use the original picture as your starting point. Try to keep some semblance of the original pic.

You can make up to 2 entries! But if you do, they have to be significantly different from each other. Please send me final copies only. NO revisions after entry. Once you've entered, that's your entry.

If more than 20 entries are received, I might not use "2nd" entries. So please indicate which one you prefer, in case of that scenario.

Chopping is anonymous!:

Do NOT post your images here in this thread. Instead, E-mail them to: sales@sub500.com.
Do not send a link to the picture. Send the picture itself. Please send it in JPG format. Please do not write your name anywhere in your picture.
In your e-mail (but not your picture) please include your user name, even if you think that I know who you are.

You have until Thursday at Midnight to submit your entries, so there is no need to rush right away. Quality takes time. Voting will start on Friday.

Same rule in effect. If you enter, you MUST vote. Contestants that do not vote will be penalized.

Here's the pic to modify:

I like the 9-5. This should be an interesting contest.

Too bad everything from the A-pillar back looks dated (well because it is).

Sadly, you're right. But it's still a fine car for the contest....maybe someone can update it.

flashisflamable · 06-11-2006, 12:25 PM

Rex, what year is this car?

**ChevroletRevived** · 06-11-2006, 05:09 PM

2006...why?

flashisflamable · 06-12-2006, 06:18 PM

the back just looks so dated, my sis has a 2002 and the back looks the same from this angle

camaroman22 · 06-13-2006, 01:18 PM

no...i'm pretty sure they revised the rear along with the front.

camaro_freak · 06-13-2006, 06:23 PM

done! this one went really well I think

runpasthefence · 06-14-2006, 11:38 AM

I didn't notice this site even had photoshop contests. I've only done one of these before, this will be my second. Didn't get to do everything I wanted, still have finals going on. Sure was fun though.

ChevroletMan · 06-14-2006, 11:53 AM

Both entries done and submitted. Look out!

lightbrotha2004 · 06-15-2006, 12:16 AM

Took a while but finished my two. Hope they stack up.
