What have you achieved so far? Are you trying to use the Design Edge auto trace tool, or are you using another program like Inkscape of CorelDraw?

All I've gotten to is just the basic importing editing of a photo on design edge. Thanks for the pointers!

So you do have the Advanced Design upgrade for Design Edge if you can import photos (jpeg, etc.). What size to you plan to cut this at? How much of the details do you want to cut into your part?

You might take a look at this file for some ideas on how to format your interior features. Some great ideas on wheel treatment, interior body lines, etc.
