Okay, so...
So that you all understand what the situation is, i will link this image
Now that you understand my problem, how can i get that car blend more in background.
I have spend hours watching tutorials on youtube, tried everything but i dont understand what im missing.
I know that it is not fitting, at all, but i dont know how to make things right.
I do know little about photoshopping (http://moottoriapina.deviantart.com/gallery/)
but when it comes to making realistic pictures.. i dont know...
Help me out here.
Toss me advices, tutorials, anything to get me realize how to blend object in background.
Thanks!!!!
 
It's pretty much all to do with the lighting. It will be hard to explain what needs to be done without trying it out myself so I'll post something in the morning with my explanation.

In the meantime do you have the psd file you could upload?
 
car.jpg two layers top layer same colour as dominant colour from car image, set new colour layer to soft light.

Here's my quick attempt.

What Paul said is correct, but I would also add:

It's hard to tell on this low quality image, but it looks like the sharpness of the car differs from the background. I just applied a slight unsharp mask to the car to correct this. Also the shadow doesn't look prominent (car looks like its floating) enough so I used the burn tool to make it slightly darker. The last thing I did was to add some 'blooming' (because the background looks very overexposed so you would assume that the highlights on the car should be too), just painted on white with a soft brush then decreased the opacity to about 30%, masking it to the car layer.

(Not sure why there is two images posted)

This is where i am now.
I used curves and layers as told, it is close but not quite there.
I cant get front end to fit.
If someone wants to show how ____ here are original photos to show me that it can be done=).

Mod edit: this is a family forum. Thank you.
