Pretty cool. My only suggestion would be to try and match the light color so that your background lights are not so orange. I am guessing you used LEDs on the car, correct?

You are correct. Thanks for looking and for the suggestion. This location wasn't my original choice and I think the lighting would have worked better there.

Still cool to get out and try it. You are a step ahead of me. I have had a shot in my mind for months I have yet to try.

Lighting looks good other than the color difference already mentioned. Also first shot I would have the wheel turned inwards so you see wheel and not tire tread, other than that these are a good start

Here's one I did as well if ya don't mind me posting an example:

Nice, David. Great tip on the wheel. What did you use as your light source?

And I was just driving thru Dickinson last night, picked up my new truck from a buddy in Bacliff and went down 646 to get to a friend's house in League City
