350z Pictures / Advice

Took some pictures of my car tonight and want to get some feedback from you guys. The first 2 are my experiments with HDR. The light above kinda washed the front bumper/top of the hood out. Any way to fix that in PS or is that something I should have accounted for before the shot? Anyways, enjoy the shots and any advice on how I could make the pictures better would be appreciated. Always looking for ways to improve my shots

Preciate it. The car is pretty slow right now.. HKS exhaust, Motordyne intake manifold spacer & JWT intake. One day she will be APS TT, just don't know how soon that day will be

I see... my friends dad has the Greddy TT kit on his Z... And dammit is that thing fast!

Some of these pictures seem a bit dark to me...not sure if it was from the post processing or just the fact that they are underexposd. That trailer in picture number 2 is kiling the shot. And lastly photo 3 is an awkward angle, and an even more awkward focus point (the rear wheel is sharp, yet it appears as though the main thing in the photo is the front wheel).

It's always better to blend in two different exposures than to try to fix it when theres only blown detail in the whites. I don't mind some unimportant highlights being blown but, given the contrasty lighting here, the way I calculate exposure would have left the tires way too dark.
DPP and blown highlights

Already did that in another thread, so it's up to you guys now. Good advice!
The last one is starting to look pretty good. I'd PS out the small, bright highlights from the lights.
Does #2 look to anyone else like it's in a crusher?

The mood is kind of dark, but I see detail in the tread in #1 using color managed Firefox3. Firefox 3 "Enable Color Management" Trick..
