For your graphic enjoyment
the cheapest I ever find parts or programs from is off www.pricewatch.com... There is also a good student store that sends
me mailers time to time, but I can't find their catalog...
I found this for $21 (thats with free ground shipping) It's 7 x 5, and a
good start !
if you want to do more research check http://graphicssoft.about.com/librar.../aa001213a.htm

I think one of the hardest things about drawing cars from your imagination is trying to fill in the body color. A shiny car is like a mirror. You have to imagine the light source, then the scene in front of the car, then imagine how it would be reflected on the car, where exactly the highlights and lowlights would fall on the body, and what color those reflections would be (and how they would be altered by the color of the car itself). It's really, really difficult. In most of the pics of XBs that I have, they are sitting next to other XBs, so the reflections are of that. It's hard to imagine sunsets, beaches or palm trees on them, lol.

I have problems getting the perspective right with the right angles. But you are right, highlights are difficult to capture and you have to have a good sense of color and shadowing.
