Great pictures for first usage with off-camera lights; they can be really tricky. What settings were you shooting at? I could throw some tips your way if you lemme know what you were shooting at.
Off the top of my head I would say to keep your ISO down(since you are using good lights, no need for extra sensitive film speed); and try working with higher shutter speeds so you don't need a tripod.
Once you get the camera setup, it really comes down to how you use your lights. By using your lights, I'm referring to de-fusion, silks, gels etc.. That's how you can get some really nice soft tones around the curves of the car.

is there a certain type you would recommend? i plan to shoot mostly cars but i might get into portrait photography in the future.

if i remember correctly the lights were at 1/2 power and my cameras aperture was at either F8 or F11 with somewhere around 80-150 shutter speed
i had taken several shots of the interior and dont remember the exact settings of that particular shot.

Look at getting some nice softboxes, those will soften up the light the best and make for some really nice reflections without casting too many(if any) shadows.
Look at diffusion like this:
They will rate them by the amount of the light that they stop down. ie: half stop - 5 stops of light. Does that make sense?
Like if you are normally shooting at F11, putting up a softbox COULD require you to shoot at F10 or F9 instead.

Pictures look awesome.
I wish the backround was different, like maybe in a studio, or with a different backdrop. Not in the entrance to a house. The interior shot would be so perfect if the reflection of some other cars taillights were out of the picture.

like i said before, we were going to do this in a garage but we were kicked out right when we finished settings things up so out of frustration and no where else for us to go, due to the need of power outlets, we ended up going to my friends house which is still under construction. besides this was just a practice shoot.
those other lights are too my range rover sport s/c, no other place to park.
thank you sir
