What kind of wheels do you have? If there is clearcoat on it, you will have to remove it; which is a major pain!

There is probably clearcoat in the lips. You could take care of it like automotive paint; with polishes and/or compounds). It's hard to get a machine to buff the inner part of the lip though. If they are pretty scratched up, I would suggest a fine sandpaper (2000 grit and up), then polish well after that.

looks good and the background lighting is great to accent the car but it would be great if it was a little lighter so you could actual see the car a little better.. great shots though.. props to the photographer

I will be taking daytime pictures this weekend. That will take care of most of the difficult lighting issues that accompanies shooting black cars in low-light conditions. Please stay tuned!

Here is a crappy side-profile shot of the car in garage. Pardon the reflection of the other car and myself, haha:
