Well, here goes first try at wireless flashes, I had a lot of mis-fires, I assume maybe one factor was to blame, I used the provided batteries...I just wanted to try and get the feeling of shooting wireless. C & C appreciated. P.S. I know about all the distractive items in the background...I just wanted to get the lighting right...

the car looks too dark to me. maybe dont point the flashes down so much. also close the garage door

Cars are curved mirrors &, except for silver cars, direct light on them doesn't work well. Better is lighting something else, like a wall, that will reflect into the car. Even better yet, if you don't have a studio, is to let the sky work for you:
