TO me, by far #2..HOWEVER..its dark on the side. The sun is in the correct position for your shot however you need some reflection on the side. Some white poster-board behind the camera reflecting off the sun directly on the side of your car would make it that much better.

Looks good though!!

BTW, according to HOT ROD mag, you should never turn you front wheels towards the camera and show the tread. Always turn it so the rim faces the camera more.

Good points...I didnt know that about the wheels, but when I saw the picture I thought the same thing...that it would probably have looked better with less of a turn or turned so you still see the rim.

Two is the best...

One would be nice, but just a tip... in pictures like that, face the front wheel away from the camera... Looks much better that way.. more photogenic.

Any decent photo lab will brighten up the picture for you.
