i made one just like that a long time ago. then i learned you can only get so big.. lol the detail shots it works really nice like your rear hatch and wheels, but for a full car shot your getting more of a spot lighting which doesn't look good.

They're looking better than the others of it you posted, but I have to agree with jdmoto.
