Ok, I now have a new hood which took quite a long time to make. I rebuilt all of the hood curves with 3 spans, re-tweaked CV's, birailed, then rebuilt the hood with 6 spans for U and V. I then tweaked the CV's quite a bit to make a nice, more abrupt bevel from the higher center of the hood, to the lower side of the hood. I'm very pleased with the way it turned out.

I also added a curve to the right of the hood, which is over the wheel. I also rebuilt all of those curves in the wheel well area and front headlight area with 3 spans, then cleaned up the CV's. I tried some preliminary biraling, but it kept erroring out. Maybe it is from the weird shape, or maybe I have a point that is not connected somewhere...

Here is a screenshot of my new sexy hood.
