How to use this prompt
Synthwave is a two-color contract: commit to magenta-and-cyan and let nothing else compete. The moment a third saturated hue enters, the neon glow flattens into noise. Put the sun low and centered so the grid-horizon reads as the genre's signature; a high sun kills it. Chrome is what makes the car look expensive — name 'chrome reflections catching the sunset' so the model gives the bodywork something to mirror instead of flat paint. Stylize 400 suits the dreamy haze here; drop to 100 if you want the car crisp and product-like rather than atmospheric.
Variations to try
- Phone wallpaper — switch to '--ar 9:16' and lower the horizon for a vertical grid
- Motorcycle swap — 'a lone rider on a retro cafe racer' keeping the same neon palette
