The seem a bit soft, tried a shot with the car not in motion and using that as an overlay to help bring back some sharpness?

Good start though!

Good start with them. 4 seconds is way too long for sharp rig shots, IMO. If you can wait for the later light, the car will look better & you can use a shorter shutter speed.

Where can I get a rig? I dont even know what they look like, but I have been wanting to try something like this for a while. Some of the shots turned out very well. Keep it up.
