They use special filters you have to get them. They do not come with the program.
Ask Bad95killer sounds like a good guy I'm sure he wont mind helping you.

zoom in and polygonal lasso tool around your car, copy, make new layer, paste into while its still selected, modify the background layer now and you can get the effect your describing.

that guys images look like that because he is *starting off* with a nice image. alot easier to do.
he's not photoshopping that thing, if at all, as much as you think he is.

btw, filters SUCK, execpt for glaussian blur and unsharp mask.
dont get in a habit of using them to make 'art'. make your 'art' by creating the best quality picture and beautiful angle to start off with and then slightly touch up with photoshop if you HAVE to, not the other way around.
if your having to try and correct alot of mistakes and effects in Photoshop you messed up to start off with.

Car looks good man!

Your on the right track for sure on the photo end of things. I would ask bad95 for some tips. He's probably one of the top 3 photographers on here and seems like a cool down to earth kind of guy.
