I like the first one, but I think it would be cooler if it was a straight rim light without the light coming from the wheels. Did you add any overhead lighting?

I love the 2nd picture. How did you light this one?

Good idea. A little more highlighting around the front would be nice.
Now that you have that, there are a lot of PS possibilities:

Granted that this one is a bit over the top, but I just couldn't stop screwing with it! :D

For the overhead lighting, I used one flash hand held pointed at various parts of the car and took several shots (ie. shot one frame with flash pointed at hood, second frame with flash pointed at roof, and so on until I covered the entire surface - as you can see, I missed some spots and lighting is not completely even).
All shots merged in PP.

I love the 2nd picture. How did you light this one?Rob
