"We Are The New Vintage"

I had a go at this. not my best work of art.
firstly, the cutting out was poor, you can use the pen tool, and draw around the car with control points, then when complete, right click-convert to selection.
or just use the polygonal lasso tool. you can also feather this selection to avoid sharp edges.
the second problem, I think the perspective was a bit off, I altered this with edit-transform-perspective or distort.
thirdly, the shadows were too dark. theres a few fixes for this, levels firstly for overall darkness, then shadow/highlights to lighten up the shadows, image-adjust-replace colour then brightness to fix something specific.
also, dodge and burn, i used this to blend the edges of the sharp shadows.
lastly, the shadow under the car, looks like you used the burn tool, what you want to do is draw the shadow by hand in black, then change the layer overlay to whatever looks best, also bring down the opacity.
Well there are two ways actually... the first as I said, just draw it yourself with black, gaussian blur it, then adjust the overlay.
second way, and this works for reflection too. is duplicate the later, make it black using brightness/contrast, the transform it.
tutorial there,

for reflections, you just flip it vertically under transform controls.
But keep doing it, I dont see many chicks photoshopping cars.
well, in PS there's a tool for everthing ! but seriously... I really do wish there was a hair brush tool in PS, that would cut post time drastically !
Funny that you mention that, I have some photos where I have lots of flyaway hair and it seems the only way to fix it is to extract the model from the background, and place it against another background.

fly away hair is simply using the clone tool to remove .... pretty quick...

Yeah, but I usually don't use the clone tool b.c. often I can see where I've cloned an area. Tried the patch tool and that didn't work either.

Use a smaller clone tool, pick different areas to clone to keep it unpatterened, follow up with a light blur over the area if there is a solid background.

I don't claim to be a photoshop wizard, and I'm self taught in PS. Here is just a real quick
fix for example, obviously more time=better results.
1~removed tree,legs and highway from inside the car windows. pen tool,clone...soft history brush
to add glass reflection back in.
2~cleaned up the original cut out passenger side, where part of original bg was missed.
3~the paper under the wiper was distracting...use the remove paper from wiperblade tool
to make it go away.
4~reflection of trees on the hood.
5~reflection of trees and street in the headlights...googled headlights. pull pic into PS cutout with
elliptical tool, free transform.
6~cutting out tires ins't easy, so i decided to shadow the cutouts.
7~If all else fails, stick a hot model on the hood to distract viewers !
I chose fitness model Scarlett Rumor, one of my pics.
notes...there are cutout plug-ins available.
