Car and the setting looks great. The wheels are absolutely amazing

The only thing as far as the pictures themselves go is, put the T-Tops back in. Also I notice a lot of noise in the pics, maybe use a tripod and turn the ISO down to 100 or 200, this maybe also to much sharpening in them also. Also as DaSkinnyGuy mentions, the car appears to be stretched in some proportions in the pics.

Nice looking car.

Id recomend using a tripod in lower light. You have a little noise in your pictures, you'll take better shots with lower ISO and a longer shutter speed. Also, it looks like your pictures are being resized in the wrong format, making them a little out of proportion. Whats the original picture size, Ill figure out what would be good to resize to.

chaman - Very nice pics, but your pics are squeezed. Did you resize them with the Constrain Proportions off? ...or use MS Paint? Also you saved them as .gif's which has less colors.

If you need some help let me know, I'll be glad to help you out, just send me the raw/unedited pics.

Thanks to all for the tips and help about improving my pics (specially to zx10r!). I decided to work on them myself. Here is a improved, less noise, better resized version of one of the best pics I took that day:
