Right now it looks like tonemapping. A little darker top would probably make it appear more realistic.

This made a world of difference IMO.

Enjoy!  Awesome!! I think it was a big mistake giving me all this advice. Now I'm gonna bug the hell out of you w/ questions.

Converting to lab. You have an image with not too much color, but some highlights that can benefit from sharpening. I don't wanna sharpen your wheels or body too much, so i decide since i can seperate the highlights from the color channels in lab color, i'll convert to that mode, and select the lightness channel, and only sharpen that. On my version above, i also went into the a and b channels and used the picker took and saw where the body lies on the curves, and steepened the curve on that location and got some reddish color out of the body. I'm assuming there was a red light or sign nearby. I also burnt the slats in the background to be radial around the car, as in, the top left i made darker. So after touching the lightness channel with the sharpen tool, i then only selected the a channel, then went to Image --> Adjustments --> Curves , I selected the color picker tool from the toolbox, and slide the color picker along the body of the car, and saw the little circle on the curves line to see the range. I made about 6 black points on the range, always keeping the very middle dot in the center, and then modified the curves, the steeper the more contrast and a little color comes out; A Channel:
B Channel:
Keep in mind, this doesn't work on all images, lab is weird, and i'm still trying to master it myself, i say, experiement. I'm no expert.

If it gets decent highway miles its going to be my next car  No I didn't post on clubsi. Im guessing the gas mileage is about 22miles/gal. Not sure though.
