srika did use photomatrix. Some pics may "appear" to need better balancing, but srika intently left some as is for a "warmer" look.

It's essentially the mix of a set of photos...same subject matter, but different exposures...
This allows a "dynamic range" of levels that bring out otherwise excluded aspects of photos from everything between direct sunlight and dark, shadowy images.
It takes good equipment, a lot of time and a lot of skill to really produce a quality HRD image.
That's about the best I can explain in a quick an dirty overview.

Rest seem like they are a little overdone to me...
I would say to grab a lighting kit and do less hdr's, some of those spots are incredible, and I realize why the hdr's were needed because of the extreme lack of lighting on the face of the car, but a set of small strobes would help that out immensly and allow a much cleaner overall shot. But the shots do look great composition wise, and the car is sick as hell,
