The pictures are actually quite good.
The key to night photography is low ISO long shutter speed and good lighting... oh and a tripod. Which seems that you got down.
I believe when taking pictures you want more horizontal lighting than vertical lighting... I think that allows more focusing to the center of the image, in this case the cars.
Otherwise, the pictures are great! Better than my first time.

iScrape going into
Awesome pictures bro, they look great! Diggin the civic other than not liking the front lip. The teg, and rsx are definately lookin fresh. And amazes me still that even with stock wheels on the TL it can still stand out from the rest and look just plain awesome regardless. Nice job!

I like pics 9 29 36 43. And I like the TL the best of course 
I like the rsx except for that spoiler and the integra looks pretty clean (is that an import alliance decal on the windshield?) and the civic is pretty nice I just don't love that generation.

haha of course my bad haha
and the plans i believe are this...
RSX-Turbo within a month (going the dumb way and getting ebay), I have tried to talk him out of that, and then by spring getting some Buddy Club wheels
EM2-he ordered side skirts but they didnt fit so he is sending them back and going to try and get ones that work and paint match the lip and side skirts, new wheels by spring also and possibly new exhaust
Integra-Just got out of paint this week actually that Championship White is nice as hell, so he is layin low, but he did get some LS meshies and is getting the face polished with an anodized blue lip i think
TL-I think I will go with some BBS wheels and thats probably it. I am not sure tho, OH! and J-pipe and such...

I'm still actually new to this photography stuff too... I LOVE to take night shots.
I'm not very good at explaining things but I'll try to explain the best I can.
Vertical light is a source of light ... which usually comes from objects such as the sun, the moon or high-light-posts for example. Usually this source of light creates more shadows on your subject and some more exposed area. What this does to your subject is that it create some darker areas and some brighter areas on various sides. So, for example, the side you are interested in shooting for your subject may be shadowed out due to this 'vertical light' that, in a way, throws off the lighting that you need to take a good picture of the subject in that particular pose... otherwise you'd have to move around the subject to find better lighting [or move the subject in a new pose]... however this could eliminate the background you had in mind.
Horizontal lighting would be practically any other lighting that lights up your subject at a more eye-level. The horizontal light now comes into play with the vertical light... which should now illuminate your subject. With a sense of horizontal light, you don't have to do 'trial and error' just to find that source of lighting for that particular background or pose.
These two facts are especially true in day-time, though. At night-time, I find it is a little different. When the vertical light is actually lower... and closer to the subject then usually there is sufficient light to be able to "blow out" [in a sense" the subject from the background. Horizontal lighting still comes into a major roll in night photography---especially in those areas with low lighting.. such as by the road or on a mountain pass.
To remedy horizontal lighting, you could look into a strobe light.. or one of those reflective shield-things. What this reflective thing is.. is basically a panel made of some kind of foil or something... it allows you to reflect any light onto your subject and it works great!
Sorry for the long post... a little off topic. Hahah.
Sometimes in low light situations... try putting the shutter speed--if that's what it was called-- to the longest setting you can and have your aperture as big as it can [so it can get as most light in as it can]. It's almost just trial and error here. When you get the hang of it, usually you would know how many increments of each to jump up or down by. If possible, try to refrain from using a higher ISO. By using a higher ISO setting... you'll get more noise. But if you find that you need to use a higher ISO, there are some programs out there that will eliminate the noise.
Hope that helps!! Judging by the pics you have now, you'll probably pick up this whole photography quickly and will be on your way to take great shots

Nice job with the camera Hayes!
Just study photographs that professional photographers have done to learn some nice angles to shoot from.
You did good with the tripod and lighting. None of them were blurry which is always a plus.
