Question Photography Tips?

I have a Canon 7D, a Canon 17-55 f/2.8 and a Sigma 10-20 (forget the f-stop). I feel like I know a lot about photography, but I've never really done a photo shoot of a car.

I took some pictures when I got my car about a month ago, but when my new rims finally come in (hopefully in the next few weeks) I want to go do a good photo shoot with my car. One thing I learned from the first "shoot" was that I really need a circular polarizing filter - so I plan to have that before I do the next shoot.

I have one off camera flash - a speed lite - but I was planning to just use natural lighting.

Can anyone offer any tips for taking pictures of a car?
  • General location ideas?
    * I have picked out a parking garage to test out at the top level
    * If anyone in the Houston area has a specific recommendation that would be great too.
  • Angles?
  • must do shots?
  • Lighting tips?
  • Any other tips you can think of?

Thanks for any advice!
