    Start with the ZX since your brother has one and you would be able to take many pics from many angles and even very close so you can see the details from up close.

    anyone know how detailed I need to make the unibody chassis? like can I make the transmission tunnel as low poly as possible since it'll be under the console?

    I have came across a problem
    im working on the jbeam trying to get the frame in game and it only has half of the car
    I used the mirror technique but apparently there's a trick i don't know to get the whole car in game

    if anyone knows how to fix this some help would be appreciated
