no you chose the amount you want but since the front bumper is so close to the rear use the lasso select and out line the front bumper and click the gradient and there you go

OR.. (leave it to me to confuse people..heh)

You can make layers inbetween the outline and base (highly reccomended for every car) and make a box of the color you want and then use the Gradient Blur tool
