Advice: Lose the "crystal clear" corners and black inner tails.

On the photography, your composition is decent, I would look into getting an entry level SLR if you want to "get into it". You can always upgrade the body later and keep the lenses.

I would center the car in your photos and consider a cheap Dslr

the clears came with the car and i just cant stand the look with the red inner tails. i dunno why i just dont like it. sometimes i switch em out because i have normal ones.

what would you all recomend for a beginner slr?

Don't try to find one with the most features and the highest megapixels. Try to find one that takes the best pictures by reading reviews. When you are a beginner it doesn't matter that one will do slightly better bracketing or take video (its an SLR afterall). Also, keep in mind when you choose a brand that the lenses usually do not interchange, so try to pick a brand you will stick with.

The better the lenses the better the pictures, even with a "cheap" SLR. I have the original Sony SLR and most people laugh at that, so I am probably not the best person to ask for brand advice on. I will say, I have not found a really pressing reason to upgrade the body yet, after about 5 years.

Pro tip. I had the same cheapo corners. I did the spray tint black and they looked 100 fold better. Not sure if the dark corners would look good on the car, but better than whats on there. It kinda hides the cheapo look.
