Well to be honest the only picture I took is the one on the bottom...the others my friends helped me with. Though I will try to get some engine shots and interior shots but its just your typical cobalt ss/sc with a polished pulley and ingalls torque dampner under the hood. Thanks for the comments guys, doubt I have a shot in hell at getting featured car but I figured its worth a shot.

The guy took them with a regular cannon non DSLR he just has skills with photoshop. I wish I had his camera though all I have is an HP photosmart 5 megapixel camera thus the reason I have to get somebody else to take pictures for me haha.

you can, just takes practice... its "easier" to do pics on a cloudy/gray day its flattens everything & reduces reflections. Also avoid middle of the day... just before sunrise/set are the "best quality" of lights

put a picture of the engine when I first got the car up, I will try to clean the engine bay up good before voting begins and I will try to do my best at some quality picture of it and the interior.

What really set that picture off to me is the sunset reflection you can see in the rim that purplish red color, there was a beautiful sky that evening.
