Lasso select the other half and press delete and go to the next step.
Select two faces beneath the rear bumper and smooth shift them, we will create a hole for the car's tail pipe.
Checking the backview make sure the shape conforms to the backdrop and delete the faces to reveal its opening.Now select these loop of points as shown in left.
Extend it twice and move backwards to produce a cave like shape.
Before mirroring the other half, make sure all the points that lies in the middle is in absolute 0.
In point mode select all points in the mid section of our car, press i and put 0 value on the x axis.
