The thing that makes them work for me is that they are all very well balanced and neat. They suffer a little from stretching, but otherwise good work in my opinion.

LFS skins are of square proportions when we make them, but in-game the texture is mapped over the 3D model and this causes stretching. So on some of your screenshots I can see certain decals that are stretched a little and not quite correctly proportioned. Compensating for stetching can make a big difference to the appearance of many decals.

IF you look at the KONI decal for example on the rear bumper of the FZ50, it is horizontally stretched. "Squishing" the decal first can prevent that effect. More info can be found here.

Bumpers are an area in particular where decals and artwork may stretch out of proportion but the whole skin is effected by stretching to some extent anyway.

Man you've made some great skins, with a little compensation for stretching you'll be kickin' some hairy skinning butt! ;D

ah yes, i thought thats what u might've meant, a few of them, that koni one specifically is my fault, i actually stretched it out more than it was originally anyway. But i see in other places its done that, sometimes i do notice it and change it, but the majority of the time i don't bother, lol. I will keep an eye out for it in the future, cheers for the input

Daaang... those look great! I'm not a drift fan by any stretch of the imagination, but these are very very well done. Look very crisp and clean. I especially like how the black and white merge on the FZR 'Dirty Minds' skin.

Top notch
