As I have one of these I feel qualified enough to be able to comment on it, and express my opinion of it.
It's very robust, well designed and easy to assemble.
The two lights, however, get extremely hot, so much so that if you leave them on too long and try to pick them up you can easily burn your fingers. It's best to leave them about 10 mins to cool before packing them away.
Also the bulbs/lamps are standard lighting bulbs/lamps they work well but are not daylight type bulbs/lamps.
The light diffusion is sometimes hit and miss, in that you will need to change the lighting angles to get the ideal picture. I still have to take maybe 10 pictures and then sort throught them to find the best one.
The picture in the OP is very misleading in that it shows brilliant light diffusion, and a very clear image of the car.
In my experiance and use I have yet to be able to replicate this kind of lighting.
On the whole, a good well designed, well price and suitable piece of gear.
8/10

i was thinking of getting a light box of some sort, i looked at your pics dean and noticed that most of you pics were outside. Can you put up some pics that you used the light box?

That's the one I made Shannon and take all my pics using it. Cost me around $10 for the lamps and fixtures. I was going to post a pic, but I can't find it.
