I saw a cool sunset tonight and recently just picked up a 580ex II so I figured I'd give it a shot. I have only two flashes, one mounted on the camera and the 430ex II was off cam. This was my first attempt at strobing my car so CC would be greatly appreciated!

I would try and drag the shutter a little bit to pick up more of the background.... It might look a little more natural.

I wish you'd used a lower power setting so the background highlighted the hood & roof more. And a tighter framing would make the car look better:
