I can't say I've seen that front bumper before though. Is that an option or aftermarket?

^^ forgot to mention, this is a 959S
While the 959 is an extremely rare car with only 337 produced, this particular example is a 1988 "Sport" model, of which there were only 29 produced (37 if you include the 8 cars built from spare parts), making it a doubly difficult to find model. Over the "Komfort" models, the 959 Sport versions have different seats incorporating racing-style harnesses, A/C delete, rear seat delete, an "S" steering wheel, factory leather-wrapped roll bar structure, and a more standard-fare coil over strut suspension, rather than the height-adjustable air suspension.
A rumor that occasionally pops up posits that the 1988 Sport production schedule was originally intended to supply a 1-make racing series in North America. The rumor also states that when the first of them arrived at the ports, it was turned away for being "too nicely appointed to be a racing car".

Love that Countach.

'08 MX5 GT 6spd.
It's all done in post.
Basically, I've got a shot for the warehouse and car, a shot for the light painting over the top, one for the light paint on the side and wheels and one for the headlights themselves. I merge them all and clean things up a bit..take out what I don't want/need. I then separate the car from the image. Afterwards, I'll start building up the fog and smoke. I start from the back and work my way up to the front of the car to build depth. Lastly, I'll copy/paste the smoke on the tail end and colorize it then just play with it 'till it looks acceptable or real-ish.
There's a learning curve and I'm still learning. Making it look natural is quite difficult, especially coloring it.

Major thank you to Srika & swoosh for introducing Lightroom. Finally got a chance to play with it after losing it to computer crash a week back. Still using my basic program whilst going back & forth, but I really like the options and how in-depth you can really go, so I look forward to learning more on how to use it better.
Only thing I would like to know is how to create a sort of spotlight effect from the ceiling lights, that brightens whatever is below & darkens everything else. I knew how to get the effect through Photoshop, just not through Lightroom yet.

Pull some strings and let me come shoot that car!
I think for your desired effect, PS is still going to be the best option for you. I haven't used Lightroom that much though, so maybe I'm wrong.

I consider Lightroom to be a "prep" stage in many ways for my workflow - I get everything dialed in how I want in LR, then I have less work to do in Photoshop. There are many aspects of LR that are much easier to do in there versus PS.

I'd love to have that 300SL and that E-Type in my garage.
