    You have to host your photos online. Many people use sites like Photobucket, Flickr, etc...
    Then put the image URL in the IMG brackets like these without the "." in them: [IMG.] [/IMG.]

    Looking good. A few boy racer details I'm not a fan of:
    -The grille
    -The red painted bumper vents below the front plate
    -The red painted badge on the hatch
    Take out those "details" and I think the car will look much cleaner. Either way, it's coming along nicely.
