There's some really cool docs about this on TDN:

http://tdn.garagegames.com/wiki/TSE/Getting_Started/Materials

Here's an example of a metal material:

new Material(ExampleMetalMaterial)
{
   mapTo = "metalTexture";
   baseTex[0] = "metalTexture";
   bumpTex[0] = "metalTextureNormalMap";
   pixelSpecular[0] = true;
   specular[0] = "1.0 1.0 1.0 1.0";
   specularPower[0] = 64.0;
   translucent = false;
};

Check out the Materials Overview section on TDN. It details all the possible parameters you can use in a Material definition.

Put it in the same directory where the texture is, and you don't have to include the path, so only carimage1.
