Looks like your shader needs tweaking and/or maybe use a different
HDRI map (yours looks like a night shot). I'd probably create a lot
of these parts in one piece with curved edges and then use shading
domains for the texturing. Here's a link to one vehicle I modeled in
Amapi and rendered in Carrara,(sorry it's so long you'll have to cut
and paste).
