Subaru WRX STi Vectorized

This is the fourth project for my Computer Art 2 class. The class focuses exclusively on using Illustrator to make vectorized images. This assignment had us download a picture from the internet and attempt to duplicate it as closely as possible. I picked a very popular image of the "earlier" model Subaru WRX STi. I think I did a pretty good job, although there are some details missing such as interior components (chair, steering wheel, back windshield) and more specifically the Subaru emblem on the grill and the WRX STi vinyls that would appear on the bumper.

This is my first real foray into vectorizing an image. If you have any comments or suggestions for better use of the program, please let me know. I did have one problem where exporting the image to a JPG or BMP from Illustrator made the highlights on the car turn a dark purple. Because of this, this image has been post-processed in Photoshop ONLY to tune the hue that got screwed up from the export.
