What camera?
What settings?
Why is the car practically cut off, in some area, in every shot?
Also some tips:
-Ya gotta turn the wheel and get those nice rims in there more.
-Soft light from above tends to help out on night shots (IE: a overhanging street light, etc)
-Close your headlights, turn on the fogs. Will look much better and help the rest of the car stand out more.
-Get farther away from the car/less zoom/or don't crop the rest of the picture out. Typically the car will be 1/3 of the shot unless you are doing a specialty shot (like a signature pic). Its the rule of thirds in the photography world.
Other than that I cant really think of anything right now. Great first attempt! Ya have a beautiful car and your skills with the camera can only get better!

Thanks for the constructive critism though... I think I only cut the car off in two of my shots. I was trying to focus on an 'abstract' hood shot in one of those. Ive seen bad95killer do it before and that was my lame attempt to replicate it..
I wanna learn how to get the paint to shine and pop more..
