Very nice.

I like the second one more than the first. The glare on the drivers side headlight is what kills the first one for me.

i had the l reflection removed in the first one, and maybe it just needs to be toned down or smaller or something, but when i removed it, it felt like it was dead or like i just removed the catch light from someones eyes... ill play around with it a little bit and see if i can tone it down a bit.

Still looks good though.. So you just use a portable spolight and a softbox to achieve this right?

i used a b800 and a 30x60 paul c buff softbox but you could probably achieve much of the same results with a portable spotlight and a softbox or even saw another guy had made a frame out of PVC wrapped in rip-stop nylon and shot a cheap spotlight though it, the kind you pick up at the hardware store.
