don't park next to anyone else who will give you a door ding. It also helps to take pics of your car in an isolated area. Try a parking garage late at night, or something with a scenic background.

Actually shoot your subject, focus on the car and get close, not far away. Zooming is okay for certain shots. Timing/weather/sunlight is also key. Too much sun will wash out your pics, so dusk/dawn, or a partially cloudy day will work well. Location is key, find an empty/abandoned setting without other cars. Finally, play with angles and replicate shots you see online. A nice car like that should make shooting easy
