Default Noob photography of Ricy Ej1

A buddy of mine just got his first camera, a Nikon D40. So we decided to play around with it and take some pictures of my car today. Well heres the ones that turned out somewhat decent. Oh yeah they were all taken by hand since he doesn't have a tripod yet.
feel free to leave comments, criticism, or advice.

yes, i know that the car doesn't meet h-t standards.
but the car was purchased this way, and everything works fine,
so i have no real reason to buy any new parts for it, other than the fact that it isn't h-t compatible. if you don't like the exterior, then you would definitely hate the interior.
anyway thanks for the comments and suggestions.
i want to paint the grill and vents black, but i don't know how to go about doing it.
i'm guessing sand it down, primer, and spray paint it black?

Take off the bumper, mask off everything, sand it down with 800-1000grit, flat black

It's a clean car, im just hating the bumper really bad lol

Looks like the wheels, lights, and glass were pulled, then the car was dipped in a swimming pool of white chocolate!

I bought a used OEM bumper and I had it painted to match my car. The shop did a real good job on it, but I thought it was funny that you mentioned that they painted the grill as I had to do the same thing before I put it back on (paint it black I mean).
