Not bad, not bad.
Only things that I can say that you should get rid of are the lines around your highlights. Like the the rectangle in the center of your side mirror. the line along your side trim thing.. or maybe lower the opacity. Also get ride of the lines on the hood or drop the opacity.
As for the coloring. look at the color of your hood and the rest of the car, it's lighter.
For your headlights you should have used the shape tool and changed the settings so that it leaves a path then you can scale it how you want and stroke it with a brush.
You should use a larger brush for the outline. (3-4pt is perfect)

Yep, Desi called it pretty tight but without seeing the original, some of it is probably not that important.
I think you did a great job on this bro.
I do agree you should, as a rule of thumb, use a thicker line for the outline though.
Check out Desi's toons and follow his advice cause he def-nit-ly knows his way around a toon.

That looks pretty tight, personally I would do something to sharpen up those headlights, they look just a bit too blurry.

When you add an update, try and edited your first existing thread, don't reply to your thread. Chances are no one will think to scroll down and look for it.

To help you understand. Your headlights are not circular like it should be.
You have two black lines running across the side of your body, you should lower the opacity.
Your hood should be a different shade of red compared to the rest of the car. (look at your original)
Toon your headlights properly, yes it's a pain to match all the colors but it's better to take the time then to apply the cutout filter.
