The thing you guys have TO REMEMBER about HDR (High Dynamic Range) is doing what your camera can not do, for example, capturing detail when inside a room and looking outside on a bright sunny day that'd be an HDR shot.

So what you have to remember is DO NOT go over the top, you'll get haloing etc.

So Photomatix can be done correctly to pull detail from the tires and darkest parts of the car to regain detail.

However this can be done in photoshop with what I like to call "Selective HDR"

You want to add a "Exposure" adjustments layer, and then mask off properly, so bring the exposure up properly... but be cautious, cause if you don't get a good enough exposure in the first place or placing your Zone 6 or 7 -- then IMMENSE noise can come out of the Zone's 3, 2, 1, and 0's.

Hmm this is like scientific talk ha oops!
