Not recently, but I do think you're going to have to take a "piecemeal" approach to the problem - IE, make a copy of the layer, delete all but the car's side, and then flip it. Repeat for other sections of the car. It's a big job - expect to spend a couple of hours at the very least... That's why I was wondering if you could park the car in a shallow puddle and then take the photo - that would probably be less work (and look more realistic) :) I'm a graphic designer by trade - hit me off-list if you want me to take a look at the photo you're trying to reflect.
