stick a backdrop into the image, due to the black background its hard to make out the car without my eyeballs bleeding user added image

You seem to have had a good start, but the roof seems a little humped for me and needs to be a little flatter... It could just be the angles though

Or just go to your camera attribute editor and scroll down till you see environment, then change the color to something that will allow the car to stand out better.
