We move on to the news section. Easter Day just visited us! And what do we do to celebrate it? Easter Egg hunt! NFSPlanet has organized the Easter Egg search on their website. You are required to find at least 5 Easter Eggs pasted all over their site in order to be eligible to win the prizes. Additionally, if you can find all 10 eggs, you stand a chance to win a Need for Speed ProStreet Jacket!

Car of the Month
We got enough good looking cars from the previous issues, so we decided that a new poll should take place, this time around, you had the opportunity to vote for the "Car of the Month" and there were lots of good looking cars, darn it was a hard one this time! We hope you voted fairly and for 2 cars. Here is the Car of the Month!

In the Spotlight

McW@y's Solstice GXP-R


Just looking at this car, you can be certain that it is one aggressive racer. The car is covered in Pontiac manufacturer livery, typical of top-level competition cars, and just screams for attention. However, the execution of the vinyls has to be perfect to make the team look professional, especially on the world stage. This car has no problems with that though, as McW@y has done an amazing job with vinyl and decal placement. Execution is one thing, but a race team also has to be recognizable and attention getting. The beautiful graphic layout on this Solstice is a prime example of race-style graphics, incorporating the manufacturer logo into a two tone creatively.

As always, a flashy paint job needs the rest of the car to complement the style, and this Solstice displays a perfect choice in body and rims. The standard Solstice has been considerably toughened up with a more aggressive, functional body kit and a giant racing spoiler complementing the race look perfectly. Simple, race style rims top of the visual package nicely, suiting the car to a tee. All this work adds up to one incredibly realistic looking touring car, which could even outshine some real word examples. It has definitely set the standard for race style ProStreet cars, and is more than worthy of the spotlight.

ErikS883's 'Cudacious'


Finally we are able to feature one of ErikS883's creations in the spotlight, and finally, after 11 issues we are featuring a muscle car!

This car displays a very realistic show style paint job, it has it all: a clean appearance, vivid colours, creativity and great attention to detail, something typical of ErikS883's creations. The two-tone is made up of a luscious, rich purple colour, which would look beautiful and unique on it's own. However, being intended as a show stopper to be entered into the "American Hot Rod Challenge", it had to be so much more. ErikS883, wanting to do something different from the "flaming" and "hardcore drag-monster" styles decided to follow a much more custom and show inspired path. To do something unique, rather than the typical two-tone straight down the car's character line, Erik broke up the monotony with a golden flame, which displays an amazing level of attention to detail with its neat execution and the nice touch of shading inside the yellow flame. The two-tone is topped off with a black stroke, which integrates the stock vinyl into the layout brilliantly. All this rests on a white base, which provides a nice contrast to the vivid colours and a neat, striking look.

The body has been kept nice and neat, with the most extreme mod being a simple spoiler. Its inclusion has proved to be quite controversial, but painted in black, it matches the black front grille and back taillight cluster, and caps off the sporty back end of the car nicely. The rolling stock has been chosen well however, with the sharp, showy, yet sporty design complementing the car nicely.
The show style has been perfected in this ride, with its stunning paint job being a great example of a unique two tone. The attention to detail, creativity, and cleanliness in this ride adds up to one stunning package, which is a perfect example of a show car.

Showroom Challenge
The Hot-Rod Showroom Challenge has just ended, and the win goes to McWay's 'Challenged'!



It was a close win for McWay, as the runner-up, Erik883 with his entry, 'Cudacious', gets a score just 5 points behind. The 3rd place goes to tb3nz's '-King of Bling-'. Congratulations to all the winners!

A new showroom challenge has just been announced. This time, the theme is "Graffiti Challenge". Get yourself to the challenge and sign-up with your graffiti-themed ride now!

Creativity Competitions
The previous competitions had come to an end and as usual we have the winners. So, for the Signature Comp, we have Jopuma's One Piece inspired sig:

Now, we move further on to Chop Competition. Last week's theme, as you know, was an RX-7. Really nice entries, this comp woke up some "chopping skills" for some users that didn't showed up too much interest for the virtual tuning. Poll has been closed, the winner announced and that's ImJ.

New competitions are up an running. For chop competition, current car for the chop competition, as chosen by ImJ is the Audi A3 Sportsback. So get yourself over the competition and submit your chop there.

There's also a new signature competition running. The theme is "Favourite Candybar". Remember, it has to be a candybar, nothing more, nothing less. Click here to participate. Good luck!
