i like it, one question...where did our links goto?(scratch)
Nice
I like it. It looks better than before. But a couple suggestions and comments, if its okay.
One of the main thing that stands out is the Paypal square thingy that blings(or change colors) in the middle of the top bar. Since its a square, you may want to move it to the side, may be the left corner. If possible, maybe give it a very light purple rather than white background to lower the contrast a little. Since its 'blinking' all the time, people will still see it clearly, but without having it being too distracting. At the same time, it leaves more room for the placement of bigger and better Protege/MP3 car images.
The images of the cars can use some color correcting in Photoshop too. They look kind of dull in general. It may due to the purple background, but the purple looks nice with all the side bars and buttons and such. So getting slightly brighter images may help. Also, the car images can be quite a bit bigger, and cropped too in some case. It looks more dynamic visually when we get both close-ups and far shots. That's how they do movies, posters, illustrations, graphic design...etc. We just need to find the right pics and crop it nicely.
I would also leave the image off the center of the page, probably towards the left close to the 'XXXXXdotcom', or even overlap by it.
I actually like the spelled out 'dot'. Not necessary for emphasizing the '.com' per say, but it introduces a nice color break in the whole 'xxxxxdotcom', going like red-black-red-black instead of just red-black. Just a little different, but a nice touch
Okay, I better stop now. Sorry for the long post. I do have some graphic design background, and can get pretty picky about these things. At least that's what my gf says.
Good job. And can't wait to see it look even better. (thumb)

I like it.
Exept for one thing, as mentioned before, i think the PayPal logo is too distracting. The way it's located (center), and white on purple is too mutch. Maybe if it was mooved to the right side or something......
Other than that, looks great.

Looking good!
Not that I didn't notice until now...
Was looking around for a section like this so I could post a comment on the TOP-OF-PAGE look....
Great change! I like the color (keeps it from looking plain and simple) and the new look for the web addresses (looks really hip now!! ... not that it wasn't before, but much more fashionable now). Great work! (thumb)
