it looks to me like he just mirrored the car or copy and rotated it in 3d studio max. oh and nice car except, there should be a transparent border around the numbers so you can see the car color behind it, and also its not really gold, it looks more of a greenish yellow. good start though, once you fix some stuf it will look really good.
Nice car. Probably a rookie questin but did you render it yourself or is there a template out there for the reflective floor? Or is it somethind PSP/D will do?
