Digimods: One photochopper's labor of love
Peter Smith is a 20-year-old Brit who happens to be a big-time car enthusiast and an avid photochopper. His website, Digimods, is an online showcase of his work. Currently, he has 211 finished projects on display, including the sweet Lexus IS coupe shown above.
Everything is fair game. As such, you'll find disparate creations like a Vauxhall panel van converted into a lowrider ice cream truck, a 1980s-era Nissan March reimagined as a widebodied rear-driver, an Audi A6 Avant that's been slammed and turned into a 3-door, and many more. Smith lets his imagination run wild, and more often than not, the results are a lot of fun to behold.
Aspiring 'choppers can learn from Smith as well, by having a gander at his online Photoshopper's Bible, which is loaded with invaluable tutorials for virtual modders. It's an outstanding resource from an equally outstanding and entertaining website. We can't wait to see what Peter dreams up next.

Most of his "designs" have front wheels that break the laws of physics and somehow manage to warp into the opening where there isn't really space to do so. You can tell he's pretty young (20 so it says). Maybe with time he'll aquire a sense of restraint rather then "hilariously overdone is always best".

wow... this guy really knows how to add huge wings and mismatching front/rear wheels. I don't question his talent, rather his persistant repetition of wing, wheels, scoop, sticker, wing, wheels, scoop, sticker, wing, wheels, scoop, sticker, wing, wheels, scoop, sticker...

Agreed, that is terrible, why does this merit a story?
