I sincerely believe its not a fail. why would you say it was?

maybe not the best but still you did quite a job i guess. you made the carbon hood? it lacks some serious reflection, according to that environment/mood/lightning/reflections you got on the overall piece i guess.
Also the Front bumper looks a bit different from the whole chop. the white outlines might be a big let down too.
Your rear will seems a bit wrong too when it comes to angles.
I seen your base/donor somewhere I think.. a wallpaper maybe

some Suv? Im I right?
Once again, I dont call this a fail! I like the lightning effects you got on the car! good try
