Sorry for noob questions but I love your photography and wouldn't mind learning a bit how it all works since my wife recently got a T3i which I understand is a pretty good camera (lenses are a whole nother ballgame though).

The only work I did was to the floor. I lowered the exposure on the floor as it took away from the car. The rest is straight out of camera.
I'm not familiar with the T3i so I looked it up. Yes, absolutely you can do this same setup with that camera. I'm guessing you have at least the kit lens? 18mm will do the job if you can get enough working distance. Stop it down to at least f/14 and start at ISO100 with a 20 second shutter speed. If you don't have a remote shutter release or convince your wife to do this in pitch black, just use the self timer.
Remember, all you're basically doing is painting the car with light, so just think about how to direct your light source to produce the shadow effect that you want.
