Take a choice. I know the text is a little difficult to read on the web but it prints fine. Beat me to death guys and gals!

Card A

Card B

I like 'every little detail' better. Something that might help even more is to fade the background a bit. If it was faded to about half opacity then the text would be much clearer. The car is nice and all, but it doesn't need to be full strength on the card.
 
Card B Every Little Detail . I dont care for the the reflection of the person in the picture. Loose the flag theme you having going with the type. It's distracting and hard to read. I get the tie in of "Proudly Serving The Greater LA Area" but its still distracting . Everything else in the fine
 
I agree about the background car. Lower intensity would make the text much easier to read.

Did that and the whole thing looks washed out even thought the text intensity is unchanged.

Keep it coming!
 
Try bolder text. The thin text that you have seems to disappear. The red is nearly unreadable and the blue is almost as bad. Either make the font thicker or find some way to make it stand out more. A shadow behind it isn't helping because it is on a dark background anyway.
 
Yo Fuzz, I did the bold text thing in one of my revisions and it looked out of place. When I passed the printed sample around it got NO votes. I would guess because of the lower pixel density the text looks like crap on the web. It is actually very legible in print. I have proofs of both cards as the file is already with the printer.
 
I agree that the multi-colored text is a little hard to read. I'm guessing that's your reflection in the image, so that's a pretty kewl personal touch. Neither of the names really pop out and sing to me, but that's just me -- if those were the only two choices, I'd probably have to go with "every little detail." The background looks about right to me, except for the rim/tire area which seems a little blown out -- nothing a masked area curve in photoshop couldn't fix.

Just my $0.02 on the image -- the wheel well and tire tread looks like they could use a little dressing, and the rust on inside of the rim (probably the brake rotor) can be hidden with the same (the rust could be selected in photoshop and de-saturated). It also looks like there may be a little bit of wax still in the window trim crack (having done prep work for advertising photos starring vehicles, these things kinda stand out too me).

All in all though it's not the card that will sell the Jobs -- it's the salesmanship and the final product that matter!!
 
The rusty rotor will hit the cutting room floor. It's outside the "safe" zone. There is just the appearance of wax there, it's actually the moulding. Thanks for the reply's.

More, more!!
 
If you already have the card at the printer, then I don't understand why you are asking for opinions on it.

Anyway, if you accent the text and fade the back a little, then you can see the text a little better. I'm no graphic artist, but this is kind of what I'm saying. If you are using something like Photoshop to do this then you should be able to tweak it a little more.
 
The printer has 4 files right now. I'm just soliciting input on the two that I narrowed it down to. Thanks for the help though.;)

Agree the blue is also tough to read against the black.
 
the red and the blue are a little tough to read...
See your theme, but all white may be more legible.

Just a thought

Good luck
