^ I disagree (respectfully).
I really do hope I'm wrong, but even those page 3 pictures are suspicious to me. Admittedly, the pixelation is a little more controlled than the first three photos, but lighting is still off.
Also, for the one where engine is below the car, look where the fender overlaps the corner. Not natural.
For the other one, looking up at the chassis, look towards the yellow lift. The light is coming from two different directions (separate directions that is, not just two), and the engine is blocking NONE of it. The depth of field shouldn't be that flat either.
Finally, simply zooming in will make the clipping path around the motor quite apparent.
Hboy? Prove me wrong? Update?

Now will it ever get finished? Probably not. It's one thing to have a gutted S2000 engine bay and a V8 sitting around, it's a whole nother level to get it in there and working properly.

I know Photoshop inside and out, those photos are not faked. The multiple lighting sources are the flash on the camera and the lighting in the shop.

For the record, my GF and I are both full-time graphic designers, have been for a decade, and spend most of our lives in CS3 (and all previous gens). We know PS quite well also, easily "inside and out". She is also a successful freelance product photographer, and knows much about lighting. Are you a graphic designer as well? It can be grueling work!
Anyway, my point being - I wasn't just trying to start excitement, and I'll readily admit to being wrong when hboy shows up again with solid updates. Until then, I see MANY signs of of the engine being placed in those pictures with the S, regardless of the lighting (which is still suspect, IMHO).
EDIT - to clarify - I wasn't saying simply that there ARE two light sources, there's actually more like 4 from what I can tell. I was pointing out that the sources themselves are DIFFERENT on the engine, if that makes sense. I'll explain more if you care.

Maybe the OP --has let's call it-- "LIFE" ????

---- About the whole "photoshoped" pictures, who ever said it's a chop i have to say, please stop fantasizing stuff, is not good.
